Plasma Cutting Table Cleanout and Complete Slat Replacement

By the time NMS was brought in, this plasma cutting table was well beyond a routine cleanout. Hardened dross, cut remnants, and compacted debris had engulfed the slat bed, burying much of the existing structure and filling the table cavity.

NMS removed the spent slats and accumulated material, mechanically cleared and cleaned the table bed, and installed a complete new slat system to restore a clean, serviceable cutting surface.

Project Work

From Severe Buildup to a New Slat Bed

The table had accumulated a substantial volume of hardened cutting debris beneath and around the original slats. Much of the bed could no longer be cleaned through ordinary routine maintenance.

NMS removed the old slats and large accumulated sections, broke out and extracted the remaining material, cleaned the table cavity, and installed the replacement slats across the completed bed.

  • Removed the spent and heavily encrusted slats
  • Broke apart and extracted hardened dross and debris
  • Mechanically cleaned the full table cavity
  • Removed accumulated waste from the work area
  • Prepared the table structure for the replacement bed
  • Installed a complete new slat system

Is Your Cutting Table Past a Routine Cleanout?

NMS can evaluate the condition of the slat bed, accumulated material, table cavity, and replacement needs, then we will plan the work around your production schedule.
