A Multi Torch CNC Plate Cutting Machine is a high-productivity solution designed for industries where speed and efficiency are critical. Unlike standard plasma or oxy-fuel cutters, multi-torch systems allow simultaneous cutting with multiple torches, drastically reducing cycle times and increasing output. These machines are built on rigid frames with advanced CNC controls, ensuring that even when multiple torches are in use, accuracy and consistency are maintained.
They are especially suited for shipbuilding, steel fabrication, construction, heavy machinery, and large-scale manufacturing, where high-volume cutting of thick plates is a routine requirement. By integrating precision CNC control with the power of multiple cutting heads, these machines deliver the perfect balance of speed, versatility, and cost-efficiency.
Metweld’s multi-torch systems are designed to meet the demands of high-volume production environments. The combination of robust build quality and advanced software ensures efficient cutting across large sheets of steel and other metals.
