"Origami" CNC Plasma Build - folding 1200 x 600mm cut area

The beginnings of a water tray.

 

Looking niceeeeee!
Leave a bit of depth so you can cut under water and look at people watching it, makes for some strange looks when they figure out using electricity and air to make fire under water!
Just do not forget to air the nozzle after so it does not corrode.

Its 4" (103mm) deep. I planned it so I could put in a smaller (less high) set of slats for cutting under a little water. From what I could gather the under water method is most benifical for stainless.  And then it will likely be no more than 3 or 4mm thick.

Today mess making video brought to you by plasma cutting without a water table.  It's cutting out a shape to be folded into a sump insert for the water tray.



 

Looks great, will be good to see it complete.
For 2mm steel, get in the habit of using a minumum flange of 20mm. One day you might be working with a press brake. Typical bend needs 10 x thickness for the V block. Nothing  worse than designing a part you can't fold!

Have started the process of properly enabling the CIgweld Cutskill 60 for CNC control.  Stage one is a mounting bracket that holds the THCAD and the relay for torch on/off control.   Note that ArcOK is handled via a reed switch on the work return lead.  This has proven to be operating very reliably.

Pic 1 shows the front view the THCAD-10 front and centre.  The mounting is off the aire pressure control.
 

Pic 2 is looking down the length of the bracket. You can see the blue relay on the back side of the bracket.
 

Thanks - J.

 

Custom CNC port drilled, soldered and wired up to the thcad and the realy.  Nice and clean on the outside.
