Plasma power source offers "unmatched" performance

ESAB Cutting Systems’ new CNC plasma cutting power source provides high speed cutting of materials from 0.5 to 100 mm – a thickness capability claimed as unmatched by any other plasma power source currently available.

The power source also produces high quality cuts, has low running costs and is ideal 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 to 80 mm, stainless steel from 1 up to 100 mm including up to 70 mm dross free, and aluminium. Superior quality cutting can be achieved with all thicknesses and piercing of material up to 50 mm thickness can also be carried out. The three-phase 440A 50Hz machine, with IP 22 protection, operates from a 400 V 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.
