CNC plasma cuts material 0.5-100mm thick
ESAB Cutting Systems' new CNC plasma cutting power source provides high-speed cutting of materials from 0.5-100mm. The power source also produces high-quality cuts, has low running costs and is suitable for production line applications, steel producers and sub-contract profilers.
High-quality, high-speed cutting can be achieved on conductive materials including mild steel from 0.5-80mm, stainless steel from 1-100mm including up to 70mm dross-free, and aluminium. ESAB claims that superior quality cutting can be achieved with all thicknesses and piercing of material up to 50mm thickness can also be carried out.
With IP22 protection, the three-phase 440A 50Hz machine operates from a 400V supply. Plasma gases include air, oxygen, nitrogen/hydrogen, argon/hydrogen, with argon as a marking gas.
Cutting and marking operations can be carried out with the same consumables. The power source can be used in conjunction with the full range of ESAB CNC plasma cutting tables.
