The Lockformer VulcanPlus Sheet Metal Plasma Cutting System is the benchmark in plasma cutting systems. Loaded with features for unmatched accuracy and precision, this system also has a capacity of 3/8″ and 1/2″ mild steel with a positioning speed of 3,000 IPM Max — the fastest cutting, positioning, and traversing times in the industry. The fixture-welded 3 x 3 steel tube construction ensures the frame will be as perfectly aligned today it will be years from now. The virtually indestructible plug-in components are standard and everything is protected — motors and drive systems are never exposed. Plus, the three (3) servo motors, planetary gears, and single-shaft belt are the most accurate in the industry.
