CNC Plasma / Water Table Design
by：Transon
2020-12-07
The problems with our CNC plasma tables are health problems, smoke, debris, parts falling to the ground, chaotic environments, etc.
I searched the internet and found two promising designs.
CNC plasma gas meter design and CNC water level design.
I joined an internet group on Facebook called CNC plasma tips, tips and sharing, a very helpful and friendly group.
I found a design created by Mike G that brought us great inspiration.
We created notes to communicate with everyone
We finished our project in a week.
We hope this will help you to skip some headaches, time and trouble shooting. Enjoy! ! ! Our team (
James Lee and John DuCrest)
A discussion was made, a cost list was recorded and created.
We came up with this idea to Beth Lock, the owner of special effects lighting.
Beth approved the cost and construction and our team started working.
Here is a quick overview of our team\'s cost list, part list, and additional weight.
Direct material fee: about $508. 64.
Our parts list: add weight: 1,095 (
This includes the weight of water when expressed to capacity).
* We choose not to give the exact cost of the material as the cost may vary depending on some circumstances.
I hope this will provide a good idea for the cost of such a building.
I used the plasma torch to cut our 12\'x6 \'hot steel rolling 1 \"to make it fit our table correctly.
We used our 20\' U-
As the channel of the cutting guide and clamping it.
The U disk of the plasma torch we lined up
The channel and it gave us a nice clean cut and was perfect for our table.
We chose a suitable location for our drain, cut a 4 \"x 12\" section with a plasma torch, and I used right angles as a guide.
We saved the Cut Piece for later use.
We set the size of the drain pipe to 4 \"x 10\" x 12 \".
I designed and cut a piece of 10 \"x 32\" 16g carbon steel on our CNC plasma table and after some calculations we found the best way to bend carbon steel.
James used a break, bent into three right angles, and made a metal sleeve with a height of 4 \"x 12\" x 10.
James used the piece of metal cut off from the \"Drain 1 step\" as the base of the drain.
James welded the seams inside and outside the drain pipe.
We tested whether there was a leak in the drain pipe and filled it with water, dried and placed it in a clean part of the hot steel rolling.
We waited about 10 minutes and found a few small holes, James patched them with welds, and we repeated the water test.
The second time has passed.
James cut a hole and welded a hole.
25 \"black coupling at the bottom of the drain pipe.
James welded the drain pipe from the top of the hot rolled steel.
We rolled the hot steel over and welded the bottom of the drain pipe.
James cut the 20\' U-
Suitable for 12\' length channel of our CNC plasma table.
James welded it to the middle of the frame, looking at the length.
This provides support for us to increase the weight of the water and maintain the level of hot steel rolling.
James took the rest of the 8\'
Channel, cut it in half and put it aside for later support.
Barry Cobb, Kyle Lalis, and Shane Slater Ethan le Barron of FX powder paint company apply the powder paint to US
James drilled holes on the edge of the hot-rolled steel and filled holes with welds to secure them on the CNC plasma bench frame.
CRL silicone Sealant Cat for James. No.
33 S, make the desktop dense.
There are many different sealing materials to choose from, and the reason we chose this sealing material is because it is at hand.
James carefully applied the sealant to the top and bottom edges of the table, and every gap he could find, including bolts.
There are 4 big gaps in the corner of the table, James cut 30 mil plastic pieces to fit the big gap and apply a lot of sealant to the area.
When the sealant was dry, we replaced the grate.
I put one of the 4 \'parts of U-
Trace the two modes of the internal size to 10g steel.
I cut out 10g steel feet with a diameter of 3/8.
Round the center with a plasma torch.
I welded the 10g steel foot to the bottom of U. Channel.
I welded a 7/16 nut on the top of the steel foot (
Height regulator)
And screw in the 7/16 Bolt.
This gives us the ability to fine tune the height of the wrist guard.
James welded the wrist to U.
Channel 45 \"on each side.
The eight legs associated with our CNC plasma table are at right angles.
We decided to design and cut 8 3 \"x3\" 10g steel feet with a diameter of 1/2 in the center.
I welded the steel foot to the inner base of each leg.
I screwed a nut to 7/16 \"bolts, about 1/4\" and put it in a circle with a diameter of 1/2.
I weld the nut/Bolt to each steel foot.
With the wrench turning, we now have the ability to fine-tune the angle of the table.
James took two 55 gallon storage buckets tied to a tray, and James and Eric Chamberlain discussed the best location to install our pipes into our water supply system.
Our parts list is as follows: James took teflon tape and packed all the threaded accessories for water and air.
James used the primer and Christy\'s red hot blue glue on all PVC slip fittings.
James took our tray. 2)
And put our buckets (1)on it.
James took two of our 2x4. 4)
, Cut them into length and screw them to the edge of the tray to help stabilize the bucket (1).
James took our metal tape. 3)
And fix the drum on the tray.
Our storage bucket has two entrances, we use the bottom entrance to distribute water and the top entrance to distribute air.
Different buckets may have different configurations, so you may have to improvise.
In this section, we will discuss the assembly of water distribution.
In this section, we will discuss the assembly of air distribution.
To empty the table, we disconnected the air supply and simply opened 0. 5\" ball valve (18)
Watch the water drain back into the tank.
Water treatment can reduce corrosion and improve safety.
You can buy from the manufacturer, but after doing some research and price comparison, we decided to do it ourselves.
I bought sodium acetate (
Not sodium nitrate)
Physon moon orchid foodGrade Dye.
I found this formula on two different forums.
This formula doesn\'t seem to have any negative feedback and so far it has worked for our table.
This recipe is designed for 75 gallons of water: our table holds 88 gallons of water.
We decided that the basic formula would work even if we exceeded 13 gallons.
I converted the formula to grams and used scales to distinguish different chemicals as follows: I used a gallon paint tank and filled 3/4 with hot water.
I added the chemicals we measured in hot water.
I mix the chemicals with a pneumatic drill bit and mixer until our chemicals are fully mixed.
The CNC plasma station is empty, we pressurize our water supply system to 5 PSI and slowly water out the station with water.
When the table was filled, I gradually added chemicals as the table was filled.
Then we dry the table and our mix is done.
Our first test of the build.
Testing the water, one of us was a little too excited: We solved the health problem, the smoke, the debris, the part that fell to the ground.
We are still working to ensure that the area is kept as clean as possible, but we are making rapid progress.
I hope you like to build our water meter design as much as we do and share it with you.
It is not possible without the generous support of James Lee, Kyle Lares, Eric Chamberlain and will Duché.
FX powder coating, Slater science, CNC plasma tips, tips and sharing Shane Slater, Ethan LeBaron, Barry Cobb and Caden Fitzgerald from Facebook group and Mike G (
Mike, if you find you, I want you to know that all of us here admire your professional ethics, nothing but respect your design skills)
You are all great! ! ! Thank you! ! !
