Cutting is the most widely used process for sheet metal processing. There are many different types of sheet metal cutting machines that we often use, and many people may not understand each type very well. Here is a summary of the types of metal cutting machines.

1、 Manual sheet metal cutting machine

Manual gas welding and cutting is the most important manual steel plate cutting method, which uses oxygen and cutting gases such as propane and acetylene. The thickness of flame cutting is large!

Manual gasoline cutting uses gasoline burning to cut steel plates, which is rarely used at present and is still in the trial stage

Manual plasma cutting is to use plasma arc and manual cutting gun to cut steel plates. The cutting speed is fast, and it is suitable for cutting thin plates and stainless steels!

2、 Semi automatic sheet metal cutting machine

The small sports car cutter uses the simple slide way of the small sports car to cut the steel plate in a straight line and cannot cut irregular figures

Profiling cutting machine (also known as profiling cutting machine), which makes simple models, and carries out simple special-shaped cutting or linear cutting against the mold track

3、 CNC sheet metal cutting machine

1. The numerical control flame cutting machine adopts gas cutting to cut steel plates. It has the ability to cut thick carbon steel with low cutting cost. However, it has large cutting deformation, low cutting accuracy, low cutting speed, long cutting preheating time and piercing time, and is difficult to meet the needs of full automatic operation

2. CNC plasma cutting machine, which uses plasma cutting to cut steel plate, has many advantages such as simple operation, high accuracy, high efficiency, low labor intensity, etc., and is widely used in many kinds of workpieces.

3. Numerical control gasoline cutting machine is used to cut steel plates by burning gasoline.

4. CNC laser cutting machine is a cutting means of high and new technology. With the advantages of laser, the precision of metal sheet processing can reach about 0.01mm, and the speed is also very fast. It is the mainstream equipment for high-end processing now
