Plasma cutting is a thermal-machining process: a pressurised gas stream (oxygen, nitrogen, or compressed air) is ionised inside the torch and becomes a high-temperature plasma column. The arc melts the metal; the same jet ejects the molten material at high velocity, leaving a narrow kerf. In a CNC system the torch path — and its live height correction — is driven automatically in the X and Y axes, and, when required, a Z axis. Computer control (G-code) replaces manual hand-guiding and delivers repeatable accuracy.

Need live arc-voltage height control? Choose XYZ Cutter + THC for automatic standoff management on uneven sheets.
If you want, I can paste this into your site/CMS or update the canvas draft to match this final version.
Seamlessly load and execute DXF files without the need for G-code conversion — streamlining your workflow and reducing setup time.
Select specific parts from complex drawings and customize cutting order with intuitive control over toolpath sequencing.
Scale, rotate, and mirror parts directly within the interface — with live toolpath previews to ensure precision.
Manually drag and drop parts onto your material sheet to accommodate irregular shapes, pre-cut stock, or remnant reuse.
Set up to three independent pause points — before the cut, during the cut, and after the cut — for manual checks or operational adjustments.
Execute toolpaths in reverse to minimize material warping or adjust final exit points based on design needs.
Perform a complete motion test without activating the torch. Ideal for verifying the toolpath before live cutting.
Project flat designs onto cylindrical surfaces for precision tube and pipe cutting operations.
Real-time arc-voltage feedback ensures dynamic Z-axis height control — maintaining optimal torch-to-material distance during operation.
