For optimal performance, adjust your plasma cutter’s settings based on material thickness and type.
Who is the FORTIS Plasma CNC for?
The FORTIS Plasma CNC is designed for metal fabricators and high-volume production environments, as well as engineers and designers involved in prototyping and research. It’s also ideal for artists, designers, and craftsmen who focus on custom metal projects, including signage, decorative pieces, and unique installations.
Is a Plasma Cutter included in the price?
The base price of the FORTIS Plasma CNC does not include a plasma cutter, giving you the flexibility to either supply your own or purchase one.
You can opt for a Thermacut® plasma cutter, available in single-phase or three-phase models. A three-phase system is ideal for cutting thicker materials, offering more power and efficiency. These units connect seamlessly to the FORTIS Plasma CNC via a 50:1 voltage divider for precise operation.
What software is included or recommended?
The MyPlasm controller by Proma Elektronika comes with access to MiniCAD and MyPlasm motion control software, covering key aspects of the CNC cutting workflow:
- CAD (Computer-Aided Design): MiniCAD handles basic geometry design effectively but has limitations with more complex designs.
- CAM (Computer-Aided Machining/Toolpathing): MyPlasm excels here, offering an intuitive interface. Simply upload a clean DXF file, and the software automatically generates cutting paths, lead-ins, and lead-outs for precise operation.
- Motion Control: MyPlasm truly shines in this area with a user-friendly GUI and advanced features tailored for smooth, accurate cutting.
Key Features of MyPlasm Software
- Torch Height Control: Automatically adjusts the cut height using data from a compatible plasma cutter.
- Floating Head System: Ensures correct initial height before cutting begins.
- Dual Y-Axis Homing: Synchronizes left and right motors for a perfectly perpendicular X-axis.
- Seamless DXF Integration: Easily uploads DXF files, assigns cut paths, and handles lead-ins and lead-outs automatically.
