Interview with a Laser Cutting Specialist

What kind of equipment and technology do you use?

We have four plasma and oxygen cutting machines at our disposal. Three of them are equipped with oxygen cutting technology, and three with plasma cutting technology. We also use rotary devices for grinding and two machines equipped with drilling modules that allow drilling holes with a diameter of up to 40 mm.

 

What are the capabilities and performance of your plasma equipment?

Our plasma machines are equipped with tables in various sizes. We can process metal sheets up to 4 meters wide and up to 26 meters long. The maximum thickness of the material we can process is 220 mm for structural carbon steel. The performance of the machines depends on the complexity of the operations being performed, i.e., the time required to cut parts of a specific type.

 

Can you provide technical descriptions of your equipment?

Here are the specifications for the plasma cutting machines:

OMNICUT 5000
– Thickness: up to 280 mm
– Width: up to 4000 mm
– Length: up to 2700 mm

Voortman V310
– Thickness: up to 100 mm
– Width: up to 3000 mm
– Length: up to 15000 mm
– Drilling: up to 40 mm

MGM Omnicut MS300
– Thickness: up to 220 mm
– Width: up to 4 m
– Length: up to 27 m
– Drilling: up to 50 mm

 

What are the accuracy and tolerance levels of your machines?

In the plasma cutting department, we follow the ISO 9013 standards, which define the acceptable levels of precision and tolerance for different thicknesses and types of materials. In general, accuracy and tolerances comply with ISO 9013-12 and ISO 9013-442 standards. However, a certain tolerance increase is allowed for narrow and long parts. In addition, the accuracy and flatness of the material is governed by the standards set by the equipment manufacturers.

 

What regulations or standards do your services meet?

Our company is certified according to the international standard ISO 9001. In addition, our equipment is certified according to the EN 1090 standard, which is often requested by our customers for the production of metal structures according to European standards.

 

What materials do you work with?

We mainly work with structural steels. The most frequently ordered product is S355 steel. In addition, we process high-strength steels such as S690. We also work with wear-resistant steels and other special steels up to 50 mm thick.

 

What industries do you work in?

Most of our clients work in the construction industry. However, we also supply blanks to our machining partners and customers. These parts can be used in a variety of industries, including mechanical engineering and the energy industry.

 

What are the most popular services among your customers?

Our customers are most in demand for plasma and oxygen cutting services, as well as drilling.

 

Where are your plasma services used?

One of the main products we produce using plasma cutting is billets for welded beams. These preforms are later used in our customers’ construction projects such as buildings and large structures such as bridges and industrial structures.

 

What are the accuracy and tolerance levels of your plasma cutting machines?

In the plasma cutting department, we adhere to ISO 9013 standards, which define permissible levels of precision and tolerances for various thicknesses and material types.

Typically, precision and tolerances conform to ISO 9013-12 and ISO 9013-442 standards. However, for narrow and long parts, tolerances may be slightly greater. Additionally, the precision and flatness of the material are regulated by standards set by the equipment manufacturers.
