How to balance the current and voltage of the plasma cutting machine power supply


Experienced users may notice that even with the same brand and type of plasma power supply, the performance can vary significantly depending on the operator. What really affects the cutting quality of a plasma cutting machine? Because the operation of CNC plasma cutting machines is closely tied to the performance of the plasma power supply. With the rapid development of CNC cutting technology in precision control and transmission systems, the key factor determining the cutting accuracy is increasingly focused on the quality of the plasma power supply. Therefore, when using the same plasma power supply, the balance between current and voltage input becomes crucial for achieving high-quality cuts: Plasma Cutting Machine Arc Voltage; It is generally believed that the normal output voltage of the plasma power supply is the cutting voltage. Plasma arc cutting machines typically have higher no-load and operating voltages. When using highly ionized gases like nitrogen, hydrogen, or air, a higher voltage is required to stabilize the plasma arc. When the current remains constant, an increase in voltage leads to higher arc enthalpy and improved cutting capability. If the jet diameter is reduced and gas flow is increased while maintaining higher enthalpy, faster cutting speeds and better cut quality are often achieved. Plasma Cutting Machine Cutting Current: The input current of the plasma cutting machine is one of the most important process parameters, directly affecting the thickness and speed of the cut — essentially, the cutting capacity. It has a significant impact: 1. As the cutting current increases, the arc diameter expands, resulting in a wider cut seam; 2. A higher current increases the arc energy, improving cutting ability and allowing for faster cutting speeds; 3. However, if the current is too high, it can cause excessive thermal load on the nozzle, leading to premature damage and a drop in cutting quality, or even prevent normal cutting altogether. In short, the cutting current and the corresponding nozzle must be carefully selected based on the material thickness before starting the cut. To maintain stable voltage, any adjustments should be made according to the specific requirements of the material. Ultimately, the operator still needs experience and a good understanding of both the equipment and the material being cut in order to produce high-quality results efficiently and flexibly.
