A semi-automatic cutting machine is a widely used equipment in industrial production, mainly used for cutting materials such as metal, plastic, wood, etc. It combines the flexibility of manual operation with the efficiency of mechanical power, making it suitable for scenarios that require a certain level of precision but do not require full automation. The following is a detailed introduction about semi-automatic cutting machines:
1. Main types
Flame cutting machine: using oxygen gas (such as acetylene, propane) to generate high-temperature flames for cutting metal, suitable for thick steel plates.
Plasma cutting machine: melts metal at high temperature through plasma arc, with fast cutting speed, suitable for conductive materials such as stainless steel and aluminum alloy.
Laser cutting machine (semi-automatic type): Cutting with a laser beam, high precision, but semi-automatic models may require manual assistance for positioning.
Water jet cutting machine: using high-pressure water flow (including abrasive) for cutting, suitable for heat sensitive materials such as stone and composite materials.
2. Core Features
Manual+mechanical collaboration: The operator needs to manually adjust the material position or control the cutting path, and the machine completes the power cutting.
Medium efficiency: Faster than manual tools but lower than fully automated equipment, suitable for small to medium batch production.
Lower cost: Compared to fully automated equipment, the price and maintenance costs are more economical.
High flexibility: can adapt to cutting needs of different shapes and sizes.
