Metal pipe and tube fabrication can be a tricky business due to the rounded shape of the materials, which is more challenging to process than flat plates. This is particularly true when fabricating by hand. Professional fabricators who specialize in pipe and tube production should consider switching from handheld torches to CNC plasma pipe cutting, as the benefits in doing so can help improve the quality of their work, reduce cutting mistakes, and speed up production.
Precise Fabrications
When it comes to fabricating pipes and tubes, precision is integral to delivering a perfect product to the customer. CNC plasma cutters create pristine cuts on the first pass, eliminating the need for additional processing. Fabricators can trust that the cuts will be clean and free of errors.
Error-Free Cuts
Fabricating pipes or tubes by hand opens the door to cutting mistakes. Even the most experienced fabricators are not perfect and will make an error once in a while. But a computer-controlled pipe and tube cutter eliminates cutting mistakes altogether. In fact, with CNC software, a fabricator can easily identify and fix any issues that may lead to an error before the work begins.
Faster Turnarounds
By automating the fabrication process, CNC plasma pipe cutting machines can significantly speed up operations, ensuring production runs on schedule and freeing fabricators to move on to the next project. And because only one technician is needed to load and unload the materials, business owners can save on labor costs.
Fabricating Complex Shapes
CNC metal pipe cutters help expand fabrication capabilities by making easy work of complex shapes. Fabricating saddles, copes, miters, hillsides, and other unique profiles can be a challenging undertaking when working with a handheld torch. But a computer-controlled pipe and tube cutter ensures these parts are processed perfectly and allows fabricators to accept more complicated projects from their customers.
Improved Safety
Using handheld fabrication tools creates a health risk to employees and requires a range of safety precautions be put in place. CNC pipe and tube cutters, on the other hand, reduce these safety risks by minimizing material handling. The only human interaction CNC plasma pipe cutters require is setting up the profile in the CNC software, loading the material, and pressing the start button. The plasma torch remains safely out of reach throughout production.
User-Friendly Operations
Thanks to computer-controlled perfection, fabricating pipes and tubes has never been easier. In fact, most CNC plasma pipe cutting systems require little previous experience and minimal training for new employees, which can help fabricators save on onboarding costs.
Impressive Cost Savings
The cost savings earned by eliminated cutting mistakes, faster turnarounds, and a leaner workforce quickly add up, making a CNC plasma pipe and tube cutter a safe investment for professional fabricators looking to improve production at their shop.
