Component Specifications

Definition
Cutting surface/slats are modular, parallel support elements installed on plasma cutting machine tables. They provide a stable platform for metal workpieces during plasma cutting processes while minimizing heat transfer and allowing molten slag, sparks, and debris to fall through gaps between slats, protecting the underlying table structure. These components are designed for easy replacement when worn or damaged.
Working Principle
The slats create a grid-like support surface where workpieces rest during plasma cutting. The gaps between slats allow thermal expansion of heated metal, prevent heat buildup that could warp the table, and enable debris to fall into collection systems below. Their modular design allows individual slats to be replaced without dismantling the entire table structure.
Materials
High-carbon steel (AISI 1045/1050), wear-resistant steel (AR400/AR500), or stainless steel (304/316) with hardness typically 45-55 HRC. Surface may have protective coatings like zinc plating or powder coating.
Technical Parameters
  • Width 50-100 mm
  • Length 1000-4000 mm
  • Gap Width 20-40 mm
  • Thickness 10-25 mm
  • Load Capacity 500-2000 kg/m²
  • Temperature Resistance Up to 800°C intermittent
Standards
ISO 9013, DIN 2310

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should cutting slats be replaced?

Replacement frequency depends on usage intensity and material type. Under normal industrial use, high-carbon steel slats typically last 6-12 months, while wear-resistant steel can last 1-2 years. Regular inspection for excessive wear, warping, or damage is recommended.

Can different materials be cut on the same slats?

Yes, but with considerations. Mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum can all be cut, but aluminum cutting produces more dross that may require more frequent cleaning. Cutting galvanized or coated materials may leave residue that requires specific cleaning procedures.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
