Machine Details
The Blue Marlin Plasma CNC cutting machine is designed to give the best possible cut quality for sheet metal from ducting upto 30mm thick. Generally steel frame machines cannot accelerate quickly, causing small holes to become oval and corners burnt away. By using high quality aluminium components the Blue Marlin’s moving mass is kept to a minimum giving the machine excellent cutting performance. The Blue Marlin plasma table is compatible with most plasma packs and is designed specifically for use with hi precision plasma systems. We recommend the Hypertherm plasma range from the Powermax 45 XP through to an XPR 300
Track
Precision linear slides mounted on both sides of the cutting bed coupled with four sealed linear bearing units.
Hose/cable supply
Via drag chain conveyor, capable of carrying the supply hoses, mounted to the side of the machine.
Frame
The main beam is supported on 20mm water jet cut aluminium slide plates these carry the main bearings and are each fitted with an AC brushless drive and gearbox assembly. The precision aluminium extrusion main beam has two hardened & ground linear slides, on which the top carriage runs.
Cutter carriage
This is manufactured from water jet cut aluminium, it is fitted with three sealed linear bearings and an AC brushless drive and gearbox assembly.
Cutter post
The cutting head includes an automatic arc voltage hight sense with in built initial height sensor.
Fume extraction cutting table
The single point down draught fume extraction table, is integral within the frame of the machine.
Drive system
High quality three axis synchronised Omron AC brushless drives mated to planetary gearboxes, with rack and pinion throughout. The drive assemblies are mounted on a pair of linear bearings and held into mesh with a pneumatic ram to give precise meshing of the pinions and rack. Drive speed 18 metres per minute.
