When SMS set about designing and building the SmartPLASMA™ machine, it was with the knowledge that the people it would be selling the machine to would take no nonsense when it came to price, performance, reliability and support. Given the deluge of machines coming from the Far East it may seem surprising that SMS should even contemplate creating a machine designed and built in the UK. But SMS is no ordinary company.

As a subsidiary of the California based Animatics Corporation, SMS has direct access to the Animatics SmartMotors and supporting CNC software which are revolutionising the design and manufacture of computer controlled machines around the world. Animatics asked SMS to consider marketing a US designed and built, low cost CNC plasma cutting machine that already used their motors to great effect. SMS however, with its background in designing, building and supporting bespoke industrial manufacturing equipment, quickly recognised that the machine in question would not meet European machinery standards and would need to be redesigned. That machine did however demonstrate the effectiveness of the Animatics’ integrated servo motors in controlling multiple axes simultaneously, to give excellent path accuracy at speed together with automatic torch height control. Given the SmartMotor™, the user friendly PC software that was also available to SMS, and the company’s experience in machine design, it became an easy and low risk decision to develop the
SmartPLASMA.

After researching the market and sourcing the best components, gearheads, dust extraction beds and cutting torches, SMS proudly offers the SmartPLASMA SP2010 and SP3015 machines, in the knowledge that in terms of quality and performance, it’s a winner. SMS can make bold claims about its capabilities but it’s your opinion that matters…so please come, take a look and judge for yourself. If you need a plasma cutting machine, consider the SMS SmartPLASMA.
