Water Mist Secondary High-Precision Plasma Reduces Cutting Costs by 20%
|
|
Test results on stainless steel and aluminum prove that
Thermadyne’s patented WMS process lowers costs, improves quality,
preserves cutting speeds and produces high-integrity welds on
non-ferrous materials.
By Dirk Ott, Brand Manager, Global Plasma Automation, Thermadyne Industries
Automated plasma cutting and the concept of using tap water to
generate the secondary (shield) gas have been around for more than three
decades. However, high-precision plasma cutting using the Water Mist
Secondary (WMS) process was developed less than a decade ago. Today,
many fabricators working with non-ferrous materials 3/4” thick remain
unaware that the WMS process can reduce their cutting costs by an
average of 20 to 30%. The process also offers ISO Class 3 or better
quality, preserves fast cutting speeds and ultimately yields welds with
an integrity that matches that of other cutting options.
It
should be noted that all of Thermadyne’s Auto-Cut and Ultra-Cut
automated systems for mild steel can be converted to the WMS process
simply by changing consumables. Only Thermadyne Automation gives
fabricators the flexibility to change to the WMS process should they
need to cut non-ferrous materials in the future.
