Design of a Low-cost Automated Plasma Cutting System
This presentation will review the steps in designing an automated cutting system, in a way that a typical fabricator with limited experience in automation can implement themselves. The selection of hardware and control software will be reviewed to achieve a design which can produce parts with 1 mm geometrical accuracy using off-the-shelf components and an existing manual plasma cutting torch.
