Built for Thick Plate
Where plate thickness runs beyond the economic reach of plasma or laser, oxy-fuel carries the cut. A dedicated KUTAVAR platform for heavy steel cutting.
The Process
The economics change with thickness
Below about 30 mm, plasma is typically the faster and cheaper process. Above it, the arithmetic inverts — consumable cost and cut speed swing decisively toward oxy-fuel.
- Multi-torch capability. Many KUTAVAR customers opt for a combined CNC plasma and oxy-fuel cutting system to cover a full range of plate thickness.
- Automatic ignition and height sensing. Consistent preheat and standoff without operator intervention.

| Permissible load | Up to 5,000 kg |
Torches & Consumables
Configured around the cut
Torch count and nozzle selection are specified against your typical plate thickness and batch size, because both change the cost per part far more than the machine does.
01
Single torch
Maximum flexibility for varied one-off work and heavy sections. The standard configuration.
02
Plasma & oxy-fuel
Many KUTAVAR customers opt for a combined CNC plasma and oxy-fuel cutting system.
Applications
Where it earns its keep
Oxy-fuel is the process for heavy section work.
- Heavy structural steel
- Shipbuilding & marine
- Pressure vessels
- Bridge fabrication
- Mining & quarrying
- Piling & foundations
- Plant & earthmoving
- Steel stockholding
Integrated Software
One control platform
KUTAVAR motion control and software incorporate CAD, CAM and CNC in a single interface — and it is the same interface across plasma and oxy-fuel.
- DXF, G-code and silhouette image import as standard.
- Profile nesting to reduce plate waste on every job.
- Pre-loaded library of standard flexi-shapes.
