O’Neal Manufacturing Services (OMS) offers plasma cutting services to produce high-quality metal components for our customers. Used to cut medium to heavy thickness metals (including carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and alloys), plasma cutting is an economical and efficient manufacturing process that allows for tolerance control and repeatability.
OMS performs two types of Plasma Cutting processes: Arc Cutting & High-Definition Plasma Cutting. Arc Cutting uses an electrical arc formed from the nozzle to the surface being cut. The cutting head is programmed to the contour of the part, including complex shapes. High-Definition is a relatively new process that cuts similar materials with more tolerance control. It can process carbon steel materials, stainless, and aluminum in the 2” thickness range.
