Draft arm fabrication

Structural aluminum or steel tubing, typically 6" (15 cm) square with 3/16 to 1/4" (5 to 6 mm) wall thickness, is cut to length then fabricated into an assembly with gussets, stiff-legs and bushings.
System: Powermax45, 1000

Bulkhead, tailgate and siding fabrication

Structural aluminum or steel tubing, typically 3" (8 cm) square, is cut to the desired lengths to form the trailer frame. Aluminum or steel plates, typically 3/16 to 1/4" (5 to 6 mm) thick, are cut to size for siding, rolled to shape then welded to the frame. Holes are pierced for the mounting of tarp supports and tailgate access doors.
System: Powermax45, 1000

Small parts fabrication

Aluminum or steel tubing, 1/4 to 5/16" (6 to 8 mm) wall thickness, is cut to the desired lengths to make hinges for the rear of the trailer.
System: Powermax45, 1000
Benefits
  • Superior speed of plasma cutting results in shorter cut times and greater productivity over conventional processes such as oxyfuel and saws.
  • High cut quality reduces or eliminates secondary operations, such as grinding.
  • Gouge capabilities offer ease of removing existing welds with reduced noise and smoke over conventional methods.
  • The controlled arc and high cutting speeds reduce heat affected zone and warping.
  • Hypertherm's drag-cutting technology makes it easy to follow a line or template.
  • System portability offers ease of cutting at various locations.
  • Piercing capabilities for ease of starting interior cuts.
  • Cut a variety of ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
  • Use of FineCutTM consumables delivers higher quality cuts as a result of less dross, narrow kerf and smaller heat-affected zone.
