Buy Used Plasma Cutting Machinery

The basic plasma cutting process involves creating an electrical channel of superheated, electrically ionized gas i.e. plasma from the plasma cutter itself, through the work piece to be cut, thus forming a completed electric circuit back to the plasma cutter via a grounding clamp. This is accomplished by a compressed gas (oxygen, air, inert and others depending on material being cut) which is blown through a focused nozzle at high speed toward the work piece. An electrical arc is then formed within the gas, between an electrode near or integrated into the gas nozzle and the work piece itself. The electrical arc ionizes some of the gas, thereby creating an electrically conductive channel of plasma. As electricity from the cutter torch travels down this plasma it delivers sufficient heat to melt through the work piece. At the same time, much of the high velocity plasma and compressed gas blow the hot molten metal away, thereby separating i.e. cutting through the work piece.

Plasma cutting is an effective way of cutting thin and thick materials alike. Hand-held torches can usually cut up to 38 mm (1.5 in) thick steel plate, and stronger computer-controlled torches can cut steel up to 150 mm (6 in) thick.[1]Since plasma cutters produce a very hot and very localized "cone" to cut with, they are extremely useful for cutting sheet metal in curved or angled shapes.

Frequently Asked Questions about used Gas Cutting Machine

What is a gas cutting machine and what is it used for?

A gas cutting machine uses an oxygen-fuel gas mixture to cut through metal plates. It is commonly used in steel fabrication and metalworking to shape components from structural steel. Depending on the model, it can be CNC-controlled or manually operated. Asset-Trade offers used gas cutting machines from manufacturers like MESSER, ESAB, and AIR LIQUID.

What should I look for when buying a used gas cutting machine?

Check the condition of the torches, cutting control, and guide rails, as these wear parts affect cut quality. Also verify that the machine matches your material thickness and plate size requirements. Common mistakes include underestimating transport costs and skipping functional tests. Asset-Trade provides a free machine appraisal and a multi-stage inspection with functional tests.

How much does a used gas cutting machine cost compared to a new one?

Used gas cutting machines typically cost 40–70% less than comparable new machines. The final price depends on year of manufacture, equipment, manufacturer, and condition. Asset-Trade prepares an individual quote for each machine with no hidden costs. This allows you to plan your investment precisely.

How does the inspection and condition assessment of a used gas cutting machine work?

Asset-Trade performs a multi-stage inspection that includes visual checks, technical examination, and functional tests under load. Upon request, you can inspect and see a demonstration of the machine on site. Each machine is checked for cutting performance, control system, and safety devices. A dedicated project manager guides you through the entire process.

How does shipping and export of a gas cutting machine work?

Asset-Trade arranges worldwide shipping and export of used gas cutting machines, including loading, customs paperwork, and transport insurance. We work with experienced freight forwarders and deliver both within Europe and overseas. The 7-step purchase process ensures that all formalities run smoothly. A dedicated contact person coordinates delivery to the destination.

Does Asset-Trade offer training or support for used gas cutting machines?

Asset-Trade assists with instruction on the operation and maintenance of your used gas cutting machine. We can connect you with service technicians and manufacturers for training if needed. A dedicated project manager remains available for questions after the purchase. This helps ensure your machine enters production quickly and safely.
