HD Plasma Cutting with CNC from SM Thompson

What is Plasma Cutting?

What is Plasma Cutting?

Plasma cutting is a high-temperature cutting process that uses a concentrated jet of plasma to melt and remove metal, creating precise cuts through steel plate. By using an electrically generated arc combined with compressed gas, the plasma reaches extremely high temperatures, allowing it to efficiently cut through thicker materials with speed and accuracy.

At SM Thompson, our HD (High Definition) CNC plasma cutting technology allows us to produce high-quality profiles with excellent cut quality and consistency. This process is particularly suited to thicker plate applications where speed, efficiency and reliability are essential.

We have extensive experience cutting a wide range of materials, including S275, S355, stainless steel, boiler grades, pressure vessel grades, weathering steel and abrasion-resistant plate.

Alongside plasma cutting, we can also provide chamfering services to suit your requirements. This is ideal for creating weld preparations on profiles and complements our in-house plate rolling capabilities, providing a complete steel processing solution from cutting through to finished components.
