Plasma cutting is the term used to describe the cutting of steel and other metals (or sometimes other materials) using a plasma torch. Throughout this process, an inert gas, like compressed air, is blown at high speed out of a nozzle; while this is happening, an electrical arc is created in the gas between the nozzle and the surface being cut, turning some gas to plasma. This plasma has a high enough heat to melt the metal and moves quickly enough to blow molten metal away from the cut. In the last few years, TSM Houston has utilized plasma cutting technology to stay on the cutting-edge of the sheet metal industry (no pun intended).

The plasma cutting systems provided by TSM Houston were designed for flexible use to handle the most demanding customer applications and cutting requirements. Utilizing the most modern technology available, our plasma cutting systems provide everything you want in a laser-thermal plasma cutting machine: accuracy, durability and versatility.

We’re not the only company in town to make use of this state-of-the-art technology – you can find plasma cutter in many other heavy fabricators, equipment manufacturers and steel service centers. But trust TSM Houston to stay committed to quality customer service, and staying up-to-date on advances in this constantly growing field.

For example, our plasma cutting tools are equipped with high-tech numerical computerized controls, which increase productivity, efficiency, and profit.

Some features in the TSM plasma cutting system that make it unique:

First, plasma cutting can be configured to handle all steel fabricated construction as well as automatic plasma cutting torches that can control height of laser and has a built in sensor to detect collision.

Plasma cutting is the wave of the future, and TSM Houston vows to stay ahead of the pack, and provide you the best innovation available.
