Five Axis Plasma Cutting for Florence
Heavy plate cutting, contour bevels and machining in one setup, cut in Phoenix and delivered to Florence projects.
Plate Components for Florence Builds
Florence orders come from municipal, institutional and industrial work, where a drawing is issued for review and the part has to hold to it. Replacement components for equipment already in service are also common, and those start from a sample or a measured sketch.
Base plates, embeds, connection plates, gussets and skid parts are cut on a table with a 6 ft x 12 ft (1.83 m x 3.66 m) cut area, from 1/8 in to 4 in (3.2 mm to 101.6 mm) plate, with edges started over the pierce limit.
The torch angles through the cut for a contour bevel and the same program drills, taps, counterbores or mills, so a part that would otherwise move between machines comes off the table finished. Carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminum plate all run on this table.
- Plate 1/8 in to 4 in (3.2 mm to 101.6 mm), with edges started over the pierce limit
- Cut area 6 ft x 12 ft (1.83 m x 3.66 m)
- Contour bevels on five axes for weld preparation
- Carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminum plate
Heavy plate finished in one setup
A standard plasma table cuts a flat profile and leaves the bevel and the holes for someone else. The five axis table angles the torch through the cut for a contour bevel, then drills, taps, counterbores or mills in the same setup, so the part is finished when it comes off the table.

Fewer setups means fewer chances for a part to move between machines.
The plate we cut
Structural and equipment plate grades run on this table, including work the laser cannot take.
- Carbon steel plate
- Stainless steel plate
- Aluminum plate
- Plate 1/8 in to 4 in (3.2 mm to 101.6 mm)
- Plate too thick or too large for the 6 kW laser
- Weld-preparation bevels in the cut program
Grade and thickness are confirmed at quote, because the pierce and the edge start change with the material.

Plate work for Florence
Send the plate drawings with the hole schedule and any bevel requirement. The material, thickness and required features decide the process, and that is reviewed before the parts are scheduled.
Fabrication is in Phoenix. Florence deliveries are quoted with the order and travel by freight, so the price received covers the parts and the delivery rather than leaving freight to be arranged separately.
Fabricated in Phoenix, Arizona, for Florence projects. Delivery is reviewed for each order; see delivery.
