CNC Plasma and Shears

When the material gets thick or the job is straight-line blanking, plasma and shears do the work. Plasma cuts heavy plate fast and economically, and guillotine shears square up sheet and plate in volume. This is the equipment that turns plate into parts ready for the next operation.

Buyer Guidance

How to Choose

When the material gets thick, the math changes. Durma builds its PL-C plasma around Hypertherm cutting heads and positions it as reliable for higher levels of material thickness, where running a laser would cost more than the job needs. Plasma cuts heavy plate fast and economically, so it is the workhorse for structural and heavy-gauge work.

For straight-line, high-volume blanking of sheet and plate, a guillotine shear is hard to beat. Durma has manufactured shears since 1956, and the VS shear offers variable rake adjustment from 0°30' to 2°, so you can dial in the cut and hold down twist and bow on the blank. When you are squaring up sheet and plate in volume, the shear is the foundation.
