Successfully Piercing Thicker Plate with Plasma: New technology combines with old technique for piercing perfection
|
| Company: | Hypertherm Inc |
| The ability to pierce metal plate is a necessity for many fabricators and steel processing centers. Using plasma, rather than oxyfuel, is most desirable as it means faster piercing times, faster cut speeds, and a cleaner finished product. And speed, as we all know, translates into higher productivity and profitability.
However, despite plasma’s many benefits, some companies find piercing thicker material—say anything over 1 ¼ inches—difficult with plasma. They aren’t alone. Several factors often left operators with a torch filled with melted consumables, or consumables covered in a quick layer of dross.
Today, thanks to recent improvements in plasma torch and consumable design, the piercing capabilities of plasma are significantly better. This article will look at the factors that have traditionally impacted piercing as well as the technological advancements that are making plasma a worthy choice when it comes to piercing thicker material.

Repetitive Drilling Operations Using an Air Feed Drill with Speed Regulator
|
| Company: | Deschner Corp |
| Positive feed, and air feed drills are the two basic drill systems used for repetitive drilling operations. Positive feed drills are typically used to drill holes 3/8” and larger, to minimize the fatigue to the operator. However, Positive feed drills are typically larger and heavier than air feed drills. When drilling holes smaller than 3/8” in materials less than ¾” thick, air feed drills offer the advantages of a smaller, lighter drill that can be used in more confined areas.
