Veracity Plasma Cutting Tables

Veracity CNC plasma cutting tables are robust, durable, and efficient for controlling smoke and fumes from the plasma cutting process. Veracity offers a wide range of cutting tables in various sizes to fit your cutting needs. Water tables feature an adjustable water level that can be raised to submerge plate for underwater plasma cutting and lowered for easier retrieval of parts after cutting. Downdraft air tables can be zoned with manual lever or automated cylinder control to provide full table coverage for optimal capture and disposal of smoke and dust particles.


Water Table	Downdraft Table

Controlling smoke and fumes is critical while plasma cutting. When using a CNC cutting table you have two choices: water or downdraft. Each has pros and cons that should be considered when choosing between the two.

Water Table Advantages

Less expensive to purchase and operate
Water reduces heat warpage on thin plate and keeps parts cool enough to remove immediately
Supresses noise and high intensity arc flash
Adjustable water level provides ability to submerge plate for underwater plasma cutting

Downdraft Table Advantages

Easier to maintain with almost no adjustment needed once system is in operation
Produces cleaner parts with no water contamination
Provides a cleaner work environment and fully contains dangerous fumes that can pose health risks to workers

Water Table Disadvantages

Water in unheated shops or cold areas can freeze
Machine components, table, slats, and steel plate are susceptible to rust
Difficult to clean and dispose of contaminated water
Aluminum alloys react with water and produce hydrogen gas which may cause dangerous explosions

Downdraft Table Disadvantages

Requires purchase of an extractor system and filters
Requires ample space to install ductwork in shop and extractor system outside
Blowers used to collect fumes will suck out the air in your shop which makes climate control difficult

Additional Options

Veracity dust collectors for downdraft tables extract dust and fumes and provide a cleaner work environment
Removable slag pans to reduce cleanup time and protect table surfaces from direct contact with slag and debris
Plasma Quench, an anti-rust and anti-bacterial additive designed to reduce corrosion and microbes that cause damage and odor
