Red Oak Fabrication delivers heavy CNC plasma cutting services across the Midwest. We run high-definition thermal systems on two large 10 by 20 foot cutting beds. On these beds we cut thick carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum plate. We handle fast production blanks and complex heavy machinery parts. Our Hypertherm plasma technology keeps the heat zone small and the edges square.
At Red Oak Fabrication, we operate two large ALLtra CNC plasma cutting tables. Our cutting machines combine high amperage with automatic torch height control. They also mix gas from a multi-gas console. This lets us tune arc density, kerf width, and cutting speed for each metal alloy.
| Machinery Feature | Technical Specification | Engineering & Manufacturing Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Primary cutting system | ALLtra dual-gantry CNC plasma tables | Handles large-format plate stock up to 10′ × 20′ per table |
| Plasma power source 1 | Hypertherm XPR300 high-definition system | Next-generation X-Definition cutting on thin to mid-gauge metals |
| Plasma power source 2 | Hypertherm HPR400XD heavy-duty power unit | 400-amp output engineered for heavy carbon steel pieces |
| Max plate surface | 10′ × 20′ (120″ × 240″) | Maximizes material nesting and accommodates full-mill plates |
| Amperage range | 300 – 400 A | Precise control from light-gauge sheet to 2.0″ heavy plate stock |
| Process gas options | Oxygen, nitrogen, H35 blend, compressed air | Creates clean, dross-free edges matched to specific metallurgy |
Our high-amperage process supports a wide spectrum of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. We maintain mill-traceable material inventories and accept customer-supplied plate stock.
| Material | Max |
|---|---|
| Carbon steel | 2.0″ |
| Stainless steel | 2.0″ |
| Aluminum (6061, 5052) | 1.5″ |
Our 400-amp Hypertherm HPR systems pierce carbon steel up to 2.0 inches in production.
High-definition plasma cutting narrows the gap between conventional plasma cutting and precision fiber laser processing. By controlling gas vortexing and arc compression, we deliver parts that are ready for immediate downstream welding and assembly.
We track every Mill Test Report from plate intake through delivery to confirm the exact ASTM material grade of each component.
We verify parts using calibrated coordinate measuring machines and precision height gauges.
Our certified welders adhere strictly to code standards.
We work from four specialized facilities in Red Oak, Iowa to provide comprehensive single-source metal fabrication.
