Torchmate CNC Plasma Cutter systems
There are a whole bunch of CNC plasma cutting systems available these days. In my research for this article, I must have seen at least 20 different choices. There are even some DIY plasma cutting kits available. But what I like about the Torchmate cnc plasma cutter systems is that they have been around longer than most ...like since around 1980 when they offered the very first Torchmate shape cutting kit. Torchmate systems can also be converted easily to use oxyfuel torches which work better for thicker steel. I really like that feature. CNC plasma cutters can really help a metal working business to get more customers by expanding the scope of work that can be done and by opening up new markets. Making metal signs is one area where cnc plasma cutting systems excel. Lawn art, HVAC duct work, Gears, custom chopper parts, miscellaneous brackets, ornamental iron, are just a few of many products that can be made. Plasma cutters can cut practically any metal...stainless steel, aluminum, and carbon steel are the most popular materials used. The company that sells Torchmate systems, Applied Robotics Inc. seems like a class operation. Anytime a company suggests you call a list of customers for honest feedback on the product, you can be pretty sure the product is good. Torchmate CNC cutting systems is able to be competitive because of innovation in engineering and in marketing.They dont make their cutting systems unnecessarily beefy and they use standard components that can be purchased at Grainger, or McMaster Carr supply stores. Other companies use components that cannot be replaced except by purchasing directly from the manufacturer. That is a scary proposition considering the rate at which companies go out of business these days. Some of the packages they offer are: Torchmate 1 cnc plasma cutting systemStarts at $3,594.00 for a complete system less plasma cutter and PC.
