Plasma arc cutting units' gas control
optimised
The first production machines of a new line of plasma cutting units, with optimised gas control, for CNC-controlled operation are now to be delivered in the next few days.
With great interest of the visitors of the exhibition Welding and Cutting in Essen in autumn the new line of plasma cutting units FineFocus for CNC-controlled operation were shown The first model is now ready for production and is delivered in the next days

Plasma-arc unit offers high cutting precision
Kjellberg Finsterwalde will be demonstrating at EuroBLECH its HiFocus 440i plasma-arc cutting unit, which offers highest cutting precision across material thicknesses from 1mm up to 100mm.
Plasma-arc cuts metals without dross
Improved plasma-arc cutting technology that produces laser-like cuts in metals up to 160mm thickness offers clean and dross-free cutting surfaces within tight rectangular tolerances.
Building up onto the known and well-proved machine FineFocus 450 took place a technological reworking.
The further increase of the efficiency of the cooling is especially worth mentioning.
Next to further measures the cooling of the beam generation system and the entire torch head achieves a determining contribution for the high longevity of the wearing parts.
An optimised gas control reduces the wear during the cutting with oxygen in addition.
The multigas regime offers the basis for the variable use during the separation of most different materials, as structural steel, CrNi steels or aluminium and his alloys.
The FineFocus-plasma torches become, adapted to the cutting task, offered in different variants (shaft carried out long and robot plasma torch with shaft shortly and torch head 90deg-inclined as well as with bend protection).
Here the swirl-gas technology is applied, developed by Kjellberg to ensure for highest claims at CrNi steel and aluminium metallically clean and dross-free cut ends between 6 and 25mm.
Also at structural steel an outstanding cut quality is achieved with oxygen as plasma gas.
With that the operational costs can be reduced drastically, because additional expenses for the reworking of the parts and logistic costs for the throughput of parts are reduced.
Meanwhile it is natural that the FineFocus technology enables the optimisation of both cutting surfaces.
The CNC interface makes the communication with all control systems available on the market possible.
In addition the FineFocus 450 is applied one day as an additional power module to the FineFocus 800 for the high speed cutting from structural steel.
In total in this year Kjellberg Finsterwalde makes available four technology-variants of the FineFocus-line with which according to material kind, sheet metal thickness and cutting task an almost aftertreatment-free cut result is attainable.
