Low-cost compact cutting machine for oxy-fuel or plasma
Literature is now available from ESAB Cutting Systems for its new Falcon low-cost compact cutting machine that can be fitted with oxy-fuel cutting torches or supplied as an oxy-fuel package prepared for plasma cutting. The eight-page technical brochure provides full specification and ordering data.
Falcon is a resilient entry-level cutting machine capable of producing cut components on demand. The facility to upgrade the Falcon at a later date to a different process means it can meet both today's and tomorrow's production needs. It offers fast and efficient high-quality automation for plate sizes up to a maximum of 2 x 6m. Depending on the process selected, it can cut steel, aluminium and alloyed steel up to 100mm thick.
The integrated CNC control contains a cutting database with 65 programs for reproducible quality and high productivity. Other features include two installed workpiece carriers with quick-release connections for easy positioning, and a transverse and linear drive system with three-phase current for very high cutting accuracies over the entire cutting range.
Copies of the Falcon literature are available from ESAB Cutting Systems; telephone +44 (0)1264 332233 or email Ian Kirkpatrick at [email protected].
