CNC Conversion Kits for Plasma Cutting Tables

Machine shops will often have to cut metal into specified dimensions and plasma cutting tables are the tools of choice for many. These have the ability to slice through thick steel as well as other challenging materials. For a lot of places, these get used virtually every day as products are built and refined. That is why it becomes a big problem when the machine breaks down and the usual troubleshooting tactics can't fix it. Sometimes the solution is to replace certain parts if the problem is isolated. At other times, the issue has become so big that only a full upgrade can save it.  


Flexible Configuration for Optimum Use

This is where MachMotion's CNC conversion kits come into play. There are different kinds with each being tailored to specific machines. For plasma and flame cutters, a control kit with stepper motors is available for retrofitting. The default configuration comes with four drives that have the ability to perform micro stepping for incredible precision. Also included are items such as a mounting arm, a Sheet Cam, and a torch height control. The price of this package as configured is currently at a reasonable $6,738.23. The inclusions may be tweaked according to the need of the shop.

Non-proprietary Hardware

What customers particularly love about the company's offerings is that they use non-proprietary hardware. All of the parts are standard elements that can be easily acquired elsewhere if they need to be replaced. There is no attempt to trap customers into a tightly controlled technological ecosystem. People do not have to contend with artificially high prices due to a monopoly on parts. For example, the control system is basically a desktop computer running on the Windows 7 platform. Every single person knows how to navigate around the interface of this widely available operating system. The screen, input devices, and other elements are standard as well.


Mach3 Plasma Software

The thing that truly defines this kit is the Mach3 plasma software which binds all of the parts together into a cohesive whole. It is specially designed to be simple to use and easy to master for operators. The vital coordinates for each axis are shown prominently on the screen as well as the program limits. Cycle start, stop, rewind, reverse, hold, reset, and other commands can be implemented at a click. If the screen order is sensitive to touch, then operation becomes even more intuitive.

Ease of Acquisition

MachMotion is highly transparent with its pricing of CNC kits. Each product package comes with a quote builder section that allows interested parties to specify their ideal components and see how each change affects the final price. Any special requests may be coursed through the company's representatives who will provide a quote within a reasonable timeframe. If outright payment seems difficult, then financing may be available with a partner company specializing in small business loans for equipment acquisition. The kits may be expected after a few weeks but delivery may be expedited if the situation calls for it.
