Gas metal cutting machines: types, features, and operating principles

Gas metal cutting machines allow for cutting metal of various thicknesses, configurations, and quantities, all while maintaining quality, achieving exceptionally clean edges, saving time, and achieving high productivity. Gas metal cutting machines are classified in various ways, depending on the type of work performed and the requirements for the finished product. Some CNC oxy-fuel metal cutting machines can cut metal up to 100 mm thick and with any complexity of trajectory. These machines can cut various configurations and shape metal into blanks. Some machines are equipped with multiple torches, increasing productivity.

The Start-2M (Gas) gas cutting machine delivers cutting speeds very close to plasma cutting, delivering a perfectly perpendicular cut, even when cutting holes. The machine offers significant oxygen savings (30%), a good ventilation system, and remote ignition for the gas torch. The cutting line tolerance is +/- 1 mm, which is negligible. Depending on the metal thickness, the cutting speed ranges from 280-750 mm/min.

ASOIKConsole gas cutting machines are lightweight and reliable. They are easy to use and transport. This machine performs automated gas cutting not only in the workshop but also in the field. It cuts parts of any configuration, maintaining cutting precision and high surface quality. It is easy to set up and commission.

Gas metal cutting machines allow for high dimensional accuracy (up to 0.5 mm), speed (up to 2 m/min), and labor savings. Thanks to advanced technological processes, the parts produced are inexpensive, cutting almost any type of metal is possible, and the choice of metal is versatile, including cutting thick metal (up to tens of centimeters), as well as rusty and painted items.
