Juggling the art and science of metal fabrication isn’t always easy. If you’re an HVAC manufacturer, your machines need to cut a plethora of different metal components accurately. 

Could CNC plasma cutting offer you the right solution? Cyrious Metal Works looks at the details below to help you decide.

What a CNC Plasma Cutter Might Do For Your HVAC Manufacturing Projects

A CNC plasma table can cut through a range of metals, which is ideal for the various components in the HVAC manufacturing business. For instance, mechanized plasma cutting easily creates customized:

• Brackets
• Flanges
• Ducts
• Fittings

Automated cutting systems also allow you to quickly cut custom pieces so that each client gets the best possible quality from you. Save your settings, and you’ll find it easy to create multiple units for one project. There is even proprietary software to simplify cutting the components to completely customize each one based on the building’s blueprint!

Building Your Custom HVAC Plasma Cutter

Plasma-cutting technology has come a long way, and HVAC design software has evolved alongside it. Today, plasma cutting and HVAC manufacture dovetail two industries, which combine the benefits beautifully for precision cutting.

You can buy a system off the shelf or customize a unit for your needs. Experts like Cyrious Metal Works can discuss your options, including how to find the right components.

CNC

The computer numerical control is where all the CNC plasma cutting magic starts. Components include:

• Processor
• Internal memory
• Keypad
• Display screen
• Communications link

You’ll input the commands and then upload a CAD-generated program. With proprietary software for HVAC, you can then generate ductwork drawings from the blueprints and so on. The program creates a 2-D CAD part from the 3-D ductwork.

Cutting Machine

Typically, as an HVAC manufacturer, you’ll use a rack-and-pinion type. These tables are rigid and move the metal accurately at high speeds. It’s better to get a low-profile design to make it easier to load and unload the metal. 

Choose a shuttle table so that you can keep working while unloading the parts.

Downdraft Air Table

All HVAC tables have this component. The system draws smoke and other particulates away from the metal into the air filter. 

Mechanical Plate Follower and THC System

These crucial pieces of equipment surround the cutting torch when you’re cutting thinner metals. This ensures the torch remains at a constant height and doesn’t crash. The THC regulates the torch position, allowing you to pierce and cut material over ? inches.  

PAC Power Supply

Modern systems use a boost inverter because it is more reliable and powerful than older technology. Microprocessors regulate the power flow for sheet metal cutting. They not only deliver better cuts and handle more abuse, but they’re also less expensive than large console systems.
