Cutting
F120: Oxyfuel vs. Manual Plasma Cutting – Or Both!
In this presentation, we will evaluate and emphasize the features and benefits of both the oxyfuel and manual plasma cutting processes. New technologies for both processes make this a relevant discussion topic and a continuous controversy. By exploring the key benefits and disadvantages of each process, the presentation will illustrate the necessity for both in most facilities. Detailing applications and exploring when, where and why each process is necessary or unnecessary, will help companies determine the most efficient use of their purchasing dollars and the best use of each system for maximum productivity.
