SINCE 1950PLASMA CUTTING
A STORY WHICH STARTED IN 1950Even before its inception in 1950 CEA machines had garnered a reputationfor quality craftsmanship prior to World War II and today CEAis renowned in the welding and plasma cutting sectors as a steadfastpartner to its worldwide distributor network.HERITAGE AND PRIDECEA being a well-structured company is ideally positioned to facethe current global market challenges but also takes great pridein its roots and connection to the territory which has allowedfor consistent growth in the years.KNOW-HOW AND VERTICALIZATIONOF THE MANUFACTURING PROCESSCEA takes great pride in the ability to control machine production,from research and design stages, to development and in-housemanufacture of all parts up to final assembly of the finished product.SPECIAL APPLICATION EXPERIENCEBesides a wide range of standard products, CEA has always workedwith its customers in the solutions and development of special applications.Now in partnership with TECNOROBOT we enter a new phase which allowsus to offer advanced welding and cutting solutions to complexautomation and robotized procedures.CUTTING DIVISION1
Certification and standardsISO 9001Always concerned about quality, CEA has its quality management system ISO 9001 certified since1994. This is a guarantee of an ongoing commitment of the entire company for a continuousimprovement in its products and business processes, leading to the full satisfaction of its customers.CE MARKINGAll CEA products are CE marked, therefore compliant with all EU Directives and Standards imposingsuch utilization from design, manufacture and installation of the equipment up to its final disposal. Inparticular CE marking implies the conformity to the following main Directives:2014/35/EU (LVD)The Low Voltage Directive (LVD) defines the compliance with numerous regulations to safeguard healthand safety for the operator and also regarding the electrical dimensioning of the equipment.2014/30/EU (EMC)The Directive on Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) defines the effects of electromagnetic emissionsand the immunity degree. This means that the equipment shall not emit any electromagneticdisturbances and, in turn, must be immune to any interference from other equipment or from themains supply.CEA power sources are designed for use in industrial environments: EMC (CISPR 11) A Class.2011/65/EU (RoHS)The Directive defines the restriction of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronicequipment.CEA products have been designed and built according to the following harmonised standards:- IEC 60974-1 EN 60974-1 – Welding and Cutting power sources- IEC 60974-7 EN 60974-7 – Torches- IEC 60974-10 EN 60974-10 – Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)2WWW.CEAWELD.COM

This is proven by a keen attention towards an eco-sustainable production process, care in the selection of components, use of paints with low environmental impact and so on. The evolution of CEA’s manufacturing trend, focusingtowards inverter technology, has allowed to greatly improve the energy efficiencyof the products. CEA GOES GREEN is the hallmark of this approach and is reflectedinto latest generation inverter power sources which, versus traditional equipment,ensure a considerable energy saving: Low energy consumption Compliance with “green” environment-friendly norms (i.e. RoHS) Reduced weight and dimensions for lower shipping costs,disposal and recycling (WEEE)An additional investment in the pursuit of “eco-sustainability” is represented byan important 200 kWp photovoltaic plant which has made the company virtuallyself-sufficient from an energetic perspective.PLASMA CUTTING DIVISION3

SHARK
SHARKThe SHARK range of plasma cutting equipment is the result of very considerable investments of capital and resources dedicated to research. SHARKequipment is fitted with new technology torches, which have greatly contributed to a remarkable increase of both quality and speed throughout theentire cutting process. Quality is clearly reflected in neat cuts, lack of dross, minimal heat-affected zone and sufficiently squared edges.SHARK power sources represent an efficient solution for the cutting of any metal and perforated lamination sheets. Electronic control, coupled withinverter precision and flexibility, always provides the most correct parameters in order to obtain the highest quality cut depending on the thicknessand type of material being cut.SHARK range new SK torches for manual cutting and SKM for CNC automation allow cuts without high frequency for arc striking, thus reducing externaldisturbances to the environment.SHARK power sources, powerful and fitted with professional high flow air circuit, ensure perfect cuts. Electronic control for excellent cutting quality Professional high flow air circulation Pilot arc torch Possibility of cutting grates and perforated lamination sheets Possibility of contact cutting with currents lower than 50 A, without any guiding device or other spacers.

Hardox and Weldox are easily cut by the plasma cutting process. Plasma cutting has a limitation when it comes to material thickness and the main thickness to be cut is below 50 mm (plasma cutting machine dependent). Ge-nerally features for plasma cutting can be seen in table 4. Tabel 4. General features for plasma cutting. Figure 7 shows .
While "thermal cutting" would include plasma cutting, "oxyfuel cutting" would not. In many, and perhaps most cases, the use of the more restrictive term "oxyfuel cutting" was not selected to exclude plasma cutting but rather identified only the older technology that was in use before plasma cutting existed or became popular.

Principle of plasma cutting Plasma cutting is a thermal cutting process in which a plasma arc is constricted through a nozzle. The transferred arc, which occurs when electricity flows from the non-melting electrode (cathode) to the workpiece (anode), is used to cut electrically conductive materials. This is the most commonly used form of plasma .
