• Heavy Duty Milling:
  Production cnc machining in thick aluminium plate or high-volume applications is the ideal application for the RT Router/Milling Machine from ART.
  Milling results in a smooth machined edge and gives a lot of flexibility with through cutting, pocketing, engraving, chamfering, drilling, thread tapping and much more. The RT Router/Mill is a magnificent machine that blurs the lines between traditional CNC Routers and large format 3 axis milling machines. This machine was designed specifically for extreme applications that require rigidity, high speed, safety and precision.

• High Definition CNC Plasma:
  High Definition CNC Plasma cutting machines are highly capable when cutting aluminium plate. They are cost effective as they only use compressed air as the cutting gas for cutting aluminium. CNC Plasma is ideal when the focus is on speed of cutting. The edge finish is coarser than that produced by routing or milling but may suit applications where full depth cutting at high speed is required.

• Metal Cutting Fibre Laser:
  CNC Fibre Laser machines are now able to cut aluminium sheet and plate very fast and accurately. Laser cutting is appropriate for applications that require through-cutting only as a laser cannot effectively do partial depth cutting. Laser can however do etching/marking of text and graphics for part numbers, fold lines etc. The entry cost of fibre laser has lowered significantly in recent years.
