High-Performance Drag Chains for Plasma Cutting Machines: Engineering Precision in Motion

Author:


Modern plasma cutting systems demand specialized cable carriers that withstand extreme operational conditions. Plasma-specific drag chains are engineered to address unique challenges posed by high-temperature sparks, metal debris, and continuous high-speed movement.

Constructed from flame-retardant composite materials, these chains provide exceptional resistance to temperatures reaching 220°C while maintaining flexibility at -30°C. The segmented armor design effectively contains plasma-generated sparks, preventing cable damage from molten splatter. Optimized internal channeling separates power cables, gas hoses, and signal lines. 

When choosing a drag chain model, 15% of the remaining space should be reserved to reduce friction between cables and oil pipes themselves.
