Five Axis Plasma Cutting for Maricopa
Heavy plate cutting, contour bevels and machining in one setup, cut in Phoenix and delivered to Maricopa projects.
Plate Components for Maricopa Builds
Maricopa is growing quickly, and most of the work that comes from there is either residential steel or the small commercial and light industrial parts that go with new development. Parts are usually ordered in small batches and expected to fit first time.
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 Maricopa
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.
Everything is fabricated in Phoenix and delivered to Maricopa by freight, quoted with the order. A batch that will be ordered again is quoted with the repeat in mind from the first run.
Fabricated in Phoenix, Arizona, for Maricopa projects. Delivery is reviewed for each order; see delivery.
