The importance of plasma cutting machine maintenance

You need to keep in mind that CNC plasma cutting machines are very complex machines. Unlike more simple mechanical machines, they don't just keep running by "greasing the gears".

A plasma cutter relies on a constant complex interaction of different components and systems, including motion control components such as drive motors, gearboxes and drive amplifiers, torch height control, gas flow control, several complex software elements (CAM, CNC, motion control), and of course the plasma cutting system itself. The last one is a super complex technology in itself.

To ensure that all these individual components and software elements are in perfect working order, as well as interacting with each other in a smooth and coordinated manner, proper routine maintenance of the entire CNC plasma cutting machine should be a key part of any production process.
