CNC Plasma Torch on Water Table

We purchased this 1986 model machine (2004 model 200 Amp power unit) very well used. It was disassembled and paletized in no orderly fashion by the previous owners. Darin, with helpers, further disassembled the machine when it got to Diamond C. They spent a few weeks sorting out, cleaning, and organizing parts. Then, they reconditioned many of the parts with bead-blasting and a fresh coat of paint. While the parts were being reconditioned, Darin designed and supervised the building of the 11′ X 26′ water table, and worked with electricians to get the needed power supply installed. When the parts, water table, and power supply were all ready, the new computer control unit was installed and calibrated. As you watch the video, notice the synchronized two axis movement of the torch head. Also notice the minimal smoke exhaust produced by the torch. This is an advantage of the water table. Most of the exhaust is absorbed by the water. Additionally, the water table enables cleaner cuts that require less clean-up, and dissapates heat as the torch cuts, preventing the material being cut from drawing. This torch can cleanly cut 1″ thick plate while serving a full duty cycle. It will primarily be used to cut parts needed for Diamond C Trailer construction, including numerous small burn parts, blanks for gussets, and blanks for large formed parts such as rock shields and dump bodies. Being one of the largest capacity CNC Plasma torches in the Northeast Texas area, its service is also …
