The plasma-arc cutting process started to hit commercial markets during the early part of the sixties. Before then, the technology had been mostly used to weld materials in the previous World War. The process failed to gain much following during its early days, primarily because it was costly and still inefficient that time. All of that, of course, got better through constant innovation and development, which is best showcased by the strong standing of the CNC plasma cutters in its current market. In this edition of our product review, we\u2019ll take a closer look at one of Swift-Cut\u2019s latest offering in the market, the\u00a0Swift-Cut 2500.<\/p>\n
Convenient access<\/em><\/p>\n The\u00a0Swift-Cut 2500 comes with a standard freestanding operator\u2019s console which allows the user to still keep full control of the machine\u2019s operation even when distance is required. The setup also keeps the operator in a safe spot and lets him manage the tasks in more convenient ways. The built-in\u00a0PC and 18.5\u201d flat panel LCD monitor also has a wireless keyboard and mouse for ease, 500GB hard drive, 4GB ram, plus an E-Stop safety button and easy access for maintenance.<\/p>\n Swift-trace (optional)<\/em><\/p>\n The Swift-Trace system starts from line-drawings into cutting your design in four simple steps. The magnetic camera mount fits to the cutting head and is used to scan the image, then the file will be imported into Sheetcam and processed for production. The system also significantly increases the machine\u2019s accuracy and overall efficiency in the workplace, which should be a strong factor when considering the next plasma cutter that could be added to your workshop lineup.<\/p>\n
