Plasma cutters have the capacity to cut through large sheets of metal in a matter of seconds, making them an incredibly effective industrial tool. They are capable of producing clean, precise cuts using a relatively simple process that can be undertaken by hand or easily automated. The cost-effective nature of plasma cutting ensures that it’s become a firm favourite in a wide range of industries across the world.
Plasma cutters are found anywhere metals need cutting. This includes manufacturing industries, the automotive industry, aerospace industry, construction, scrapping, salvage and more. They are used in manufacturing and assembly processes (where they are often automated), with the most well known example being their use on car assembly lines.
Plasma-cutting machines are incredibly versatile tools, and while heavy industries make extensive use of them, they are employed on a much smaller scale too. You’ll find plasma-cutting machines in car repair workshops, for example, while they are also used in design, sculpting and artistic metalworking processes.
