CNC Plasma Burn Tables

CNC plasma burn tables are well suited for cutting super-thick materials, often handling plate steel that would be inefficient for laser cutting. Exact capacity depends on the machine's amperage and torch configuration, so it's best to confirm thickness requirements with a factory representative when configuring your system.

Plasma burn tables excel at cutting thicker plate at high speed and lower cost per cut, while fiber lasers deliver tighter tolerances and cleaner edges on thinner materials. Many fabrication shops use both: plasma for heavy plate work and laser, like Piranha's compact SP404, for high-precision thinner-gauge cutting.

Yes. Combination Plasma + Punch machines integrate thermal cutting and mechanical punching into a single system, allowing fabricators to cut and punch in one setup. This reduces material handling, speeds up production, and is ideal for shops running combined cutting and punching fabrication processes.

Key selection factors include material thickness, production volume, required cut quality, and budget. Piranha takes a consultative approach, working with engineers and factory representatives to match your specific workload and cut quality needs to the correct machine configuration.

Many modern plasma and laser cutting systems, including Piranha's fiber laser line, are built with automation in mind. This means shops can add material loading/unloading automation later to scale production without needing to replace the core cutting machine, protecting long-term capital investment.

Piranha provides U.S.-based phone support, same-day parts shipping from Belvidere, IL, and real-world cutting advice from fabrication experts both before and after the sale. This domestic support model helps minimize downtime and keeps production running smoothly.
