4) Russian customer applause on the Wuxi JACK CNC-CD3009 Thermal Gas CNC Drilling and Cutting Machine: (Fig.4)

C. Technical View on Thermal Gas CNC Cutting and Drilling Machine:

1. Structure and Composition of the Plasma and Flame CNC Drilling and Cutting Machine:

1) Structure: This equipment has similar structure and arrangement as conventional CNC Plasma Cutting Machine, in the general structure of moving bridge gantry, together with cutting rails and table;

2) Disparity Point: The unique point here is, to clamp the workpiece tightly during hole drilling operation, so as to guarantee performance of the machine, and protect drilling tips, cutting table of the CNC Plasma Cutting and Drilling Machine is surrounded with circle of yellow color and hydraulic drive jacks. Shown in below photo:

3) The yellow color hydraulic footings for workpiece secure in Wuxi JACK CNC Drilling and Cutting Machine: (Fig.5)

4) Main Units: The CNC Cutting and Drilling Machine is mainly consisted of moving bridge gantry, its longitudinal moving precision rail, CNC system, servo drive system, dust collecting system and gas system. Shown in below photo:

5) General View on Wuxi JACK CNC-CD3009 Thermal Gas CNC Drilling and Cutting Machine at Russian customer workshop: (Fig.6)

2. Cutting Method adopted in the Combined CNC Plate Cutting Machine and CNC Plate Drilling Machine:

1) Cutting Technique Options: The traditional conventional CNC Plate Cutting Machine has two choices: Flame Oxygen fuel cutting, and compressed air Nitrogen plasma cutting;

2) Applicable for this Equipment: Considering the max. thickness of customer workpiece is only 30mm, as well as precision and smoothness of cutting kerf required, Wuxi JACK recommended plasma cutting, to be selected in this CNC-CD3009 Thermal Gas CNC Cutting and Drilling Machine;

3) Why Only Plasma Cutting in the CNC-CD3009 CNC Plasma Cutting and Drilling Machine?

a) At present, CNC control software only allows one piece of cutting torch to be installed into the CNC Drilling and Cutting Machine,

b) Because the CNC profile cutting is positioned based on coordination of drilled holes: CNC controller makes calculation on moving trace of cutting torch according to drilled holes, completed in the CNC Drilling and Cutting Machine;

c) The cutting torch should be installed with drilling head onto the same moving carriage;

d) So, the CNC Plasma Cutting and Drilling Machine can only be installed with 1 piece of cutting torch: Plasma or flame. Here, Wuxi JACK recommends plasma cutting for customer

e) The single piece of mounting carriage, the plasma cutting torch and drilling mechanism installed in Wuxi JACK CNC Plasma Cutting and Drilling Machine: (Fig.7)

3. Main Function Units Equipped in CNC Plasma Cutting and Drilling Machine:

One set of turn key project on CNC-CD models Thermal Gas CNC Drilling and Cutting Machine should be mainly composed of:

1) Mechanical main frame, its moving bridge gantry, and cutting table;

2) Plasma cutting system, including plasma power supply, gas tube;

3) Hole drilling system, including drilling head and lifter;

4) Electric control system, including CNC controller, control elements, cables;

5) Dust collecting system;

6) Hydraulic driving clamping groups
