Plasma Cutting


The combination of cut quality, productivity, operating cost and versatility make plasma today’s most popular industrial cutting process.

Plasma cutting technology


A plasma cutting system uses the plasma arc, a directed stream of ionised gas, to transfer energy and cut conductive metals, including mild steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminium and other metals.

It works at ultra-high temperatures of over 2000 degrees Celsius. The plasma arc cuts the workpiece by melting it and blowing away the molten metal.

High productivity and precision


Rigby Jones uses HyPerformance plasma cutting systems that are designed and built for maximum performance and productivity.

Our plasma cutting capability allows us to process extra-long lengths up to 21m, making it ideal for applications across a wide range of industries, including agriculture, transportation and mining.
