Bevel Plasma Cutting

High definition plasma cutting is an efficient profiling method for stainless steel, mild/carbon steels and aluminium components. Utilising the very latest Multi Bevel High Definition Plasma Cutting technology, our plasma cutting division can cut profiles of up to 10m x 2.5m x 50mm thick with a ± 50° bevel cutting capability for weld preps.

WEC Plasma has been set up to add value to our fabrication operations and also improve our subcontract cutting capacity for thick profiles.

Our Capabilities

Our state-of-the-art high definition plasma cutting machine has a format cutting area of 10m x 2.5m as well as a fully rotational bevelling head, enabling us to provide a high-speed and cost effective plasma cutting service for components up to 50mm thick with a ± 50° bevel cutting capability.

The fully rotational head allows us to cut components with a range of bevel details suitable for straight and radius edge weld preps, countersinks and a range of other component specifications. This covers V, A and Top-Y style cuts with ± 50° limits.

Our Esprit Bevel plasma cutting machine is fitted with “true hole” technology for 3mm to 25mm mild steel whilst still producing excellent holes in thicknesses above this.

Our machine also has an “easy marking” capability which enables plate marking for part numbers, bending lines or marking out for assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Plasma cutting is a process used to cut through electrically conductive materials such as steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and copper. It works by sending an electric arc through a gas, typically compressed air, which turns into plasma. 

This superheated, ionized gas is directed toward the workpiece, melting it and blowing away the molten metal to create a clean cut. Plasma cutting is known for its speed, precision, and versatility, making it a popular choice in various industries including manufacturing, construction, automotive, and fabrication.

  • Rapid cutting speed
  • Weld Preps & Bevel Cutting Capability
  • Ability to cut through a wide range of materials and thicknesses
  • HAZ (Heat Affected Zone) is narrow
  • Cheaper cutting method than Laser & Waterjet Cutting
  • Large format cutting Capability

Recent developments in high definition plasma cutting processes has significantly improved the quality and precision, eliminating the need for edge dressing.

Our in-house plasma cutting machine is CNC operated to produce clean, accurate and sharp cuts.
