Fifth-Generation Plasma Bevel Platform
CNC Plasma Bevel Cutting Machine
Bevel cutting is a small movement with a large consequence: get the angle and the root gap right and the weld closes cleanly; get it wrong and the fitter pays for it on every joint. This fifth-generation platform automates straight and bevel cutting on carbon and stainless plate, holding the bevel to about ±0.5 mm, built on fifteen years of bevel cutting experience.

Full-Process Automation
Straight Cutting and Bevel Cutting, One Control
This machine automates the whole cut, from the straight profile through to the angled weld preparation. Because both are handled by the same control, the angle, the root gap and the cut speed are set together rather than tuned separately.
- Carbon and stainless plateBoth plate families are covered, straight and bevelled, on the same cutting table.
- Fast, accurate, cleanThe platform is built for cutting speed, cutting precision and cut quality together, not one at the expense of the others.
- Fifth generationFifteen years of bevel cutting experience is carried into this generation, with the geometry of the process refined at each step.
- Optional markingAn automatic marking device can be fitted so parts are identified in the same pass.

The source datasheet for this model describes the generation, the materials it cuts, its automation and its bevel accuracy rather than a fixed parameter list. Table size, track length, plasma source ampere rating, gas set and marking device are therefore confirmed against your drawing before production. Thickness bands are typical process guidance verified with a test cut on your plate.
Straight Cut vs Bevel Cut
Where the Bevel Pays for Itself
Straight cutting produces the part; bevel cutting produces the joint. The table below separates what each mode delivers on carbon and stainless plate.
| Attribute | Straight cutting | Bevel cutting |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Profile the part outline | Prepare the weld face and root gap |
| Materials | Carbon and stainless steel plate | Carbon and stainless steel plate |
| Edge produced | Vertical, near-finished clean edge | Angled face with a controlled land and root gap |
| Stated accuracy | Governed by the CNC and torch height control | About ±0.5 mm on the bevel |
| Downstream operation | Deburr and fit up | None required for the weld preparation |
| Heat effect | Narrow heat-affected zone | Narrow heat-affected zone, less edge dressing than flame |
| Best fit | Brackets, plates, holes and outlines | Joints welded from one or both sides |
Less Edge Dressing
A plasma bevel leaves a cleaner face with a narrower heat-affected zone than a flame bevel, so there is less to dress before the weld.
Tighter Bevel Control
At about ±0.5 mm the bevel is twice as tight as a typical flame bevel at ±1 mm, which shows up directly in fit-up time.
One Setup, Two Operations
Straight and bevel cutting are programmed and run from the same control, so the plate is not reset between operations.
Core Strengths
Refined Across Five Generations
Four things this platform gets right, and why they matter on the shop floor.
Accurate Bevel
About ±0.5 mm on the bevel, which keeps root gaps consistent along the whole joint.
Two Plate Families
Carbon steel and stainless steel plate handled on the same table without changing platform.
ISO 9001 Build
Design, manufacturing, installation and commissioning all run under the same quality programme.
Optional Marking
Part identification applied in the same cycle, so traceability does not need a second station.

Automatic Control
The full straight and bevel process runs automatically, so the operator sets the job rather than steering the torch.
Clean Edge
Plasma leaves a narrow kerf with light dross and a smaller heat-affected zone, which reduces post-cut dressing.
Fit-Up Ready
A consistent bevel and root gap mean the plates close predictably in the welding fixture.
Cutting Cycle
From Nesting File to Welded Joint
The routine is short because the process is automated from the nesting through to the bevel.
01
Nest and Set the Bevel
Import the outlines, set the nesting and define the bevel geometry and land on the weld edges.
02
Load the Parameters
Select the plate material and thickness so the control sets the plasma parameters, gas and cutting speed.
03
Cut and Bevel
The machine cuts the profile and the bevelled edge automatically in the same pass, holding the angle and gap.
04
Mark and Fit Up
With marking fitted, the part is identified before unloading; parts then go straight to the welding fixture.
Where It Earns Its Place
Plates That Go Straight to Welding
This platform suits any workflow where the cut edge is a weld face rather than a finished surface.
Pressure Vessels & Tanks
Shell plates and head segments bevelled to a repeatable angle, so the root gap is set by the machine rather than by hand.
Stainless Fabrication
Stainless plate bevelled with a narrow heat-affected zone, which limits the dressing and pickling that follows a hotter process.
Structural & Equipment Frames
Brackets and connection plates prepared for full-penetration welds as part of the same profiling pass.
Ordering & Support

FAQ
Plasma Bevel Cutting Questions
The platform is built for carbon steel and stainless steel plate, and it handles straight cutting and bevel cutting on the same table. Because the process is plasma, the cut runs fast with a narrow kerf and a clean edge, and the bevels are produced as part of the profile rather than ground afterwards.
The published bevel cutting accuracy is about plus or minus 0.5 mm. That is tighter than a flame bevel and comes from the automated control of the straight and bevel cutting process as a whole. The value is verified with your sample part and reported back before shipment.
Plasma produces a narrower kerf and a smaller heat-affected zone with a cleaner, more vertical edge, and it holds bevel accuracy to about plus or minus 0.5 mm. Flame cutting is used on heavier plate but holds bevels to about plus or minus 1 mm and leaves a wider heat-affected zone that is normally machined before welding. For carbon and stainless plate in the thin to medium range, plasma bevel is the faster, cleaner route.
Yes. An automatic marking device can be fitted, so part identification is applied in the same cycle as the cut. That keeps parts traceable after the plate is unloaded without a separate marking station.
As process guidance, plasma bevel cutting is used from thin plate up to roughly the practical limit of the plasma source, commonly around 50 mm, and the weld-prep band from about 6 to 50 mm is where it saves the most time. Send the plate grade and thickness and we confirm the torch, gas set and parameters for your work.
The machine is designed, manufactured, installed and commissioned under an ISO 9001 quality programme, which is the discipline behind its accuracy and repeatability on a production floor. Each machine is assembled, aligned and test cut before packing, and shipped with English manuals and drawings.
