EPPING, CAPE TOWN: Many fabrication shops already have a gantry and torch planned and still need a flat, full-sheet bed to put under them. CNC Plasma Tables, a table builder in Epping, Cape Town, supplies its 1530 water table kit flat-packed, so a workshop can bolt, square and weld the bed into place itself over a weekend.
What comes in the kit
The kit is laid out for a 1 500 x 3 000 mm class cutting area, which is a standard full sheet. It ships with the main steel frame members, tray sections and slat support pieces, with the parts marked so they are easier to sort on the workshop floor. The bed is designed around a water tray with removable slats above it, and the slat support layout is made so the deck can be refreshed later without rebuilding the frame.
It suits mild steel, stainless and aluminium cutting where a water bed is preferred. The company keeps to the steelwork only. Controllers, power units and complete machines are not part of the supply.
Before the parts arrive
The shop asks buyers to check a few things first:
- a flat section of slab, level across both diagonals of the 3 metre length
- doorway width and turning space for the flat packs
- clear floor area bigger than the finished bed on all sides
- room left for future slat changes and sludge clean-out
“If the floor drops away across three metres, you will spend your Saturday packing legs instead of welding,” said the CNC Plasma Tables workshop lead. “Measure the slab and the side door before you order. Then tell us if you drag plate on with a forklift, because that changes how we set up the frame.”
Leg levellers, extra cross members, drain points, a split tray, fork pockets and lifting points can be added if they are asked for at the start.
Delivery and aftercare
Welded beds go out across the Western Cape, including Bellville, Paarl, Worcester and George, and the kits are packed flat for freight to the rest of South Africa or collection in Epping. Replacement slat packs are made in the same shop for when the deck is notched or fused with dross.
Water tables, downdraft beds, portable tables and frames are listed on the CNC Plasma Tables website. Plasma cutting machines and workshop equipment are available through am.co.za.
