For manufacturers seeking a cost-effective CNC plasma cutting table that is easy to install, easy to set up and even easier to operate, Kerf Developments says it has the solution with the new Linc-Cut S 1530. Designed and developed by Lincoln Electric, Kerf will be supplying and commissioning the machines in the UK, providing operator training, and offering service, support and spares.

Suitable for cutting mild steel and stainless steel plate up to 1.5 x 3 m, the Linc-Cut 1530 makes high-speed plasma cutting affordable for small fabrication companies, sheet-metal contractors, custom-vehicle fabricators and prototyping specialists.

Parts that customers may want to manufacture on the machine can be input using a variety of methods. The CAD software supplied as part of the turnkey package enables users to draw components, while the system also allows users to import parts in standard file formats such as DXF or DWG. Some 36 standard parametric shapes are pre-loaded into the software, including everything from simple adjustable rectangles through to complex circular flanges, to simplify and accelerate part programming for the end user. Once drawn, the system can nest components with the potential for manual or automated programming for maximum material utilisation and cost savings.

The Linc-Cut 1530 is fitted with the latest Lincoln Electric Flexcut 125 A plasma system, which is said to offer excellent cutting and marking performance with a low bevel angle and high cut quality. Furthermore, the machine is capable of cutting 25 mm steel plate at up to 800 mm/min, and thin sheets in the 6 mm range at speeds beyond 5300 mm/min.
