ESAB introduces SGX automated cutting machine
ESAB Cutting Systems has introduced SGX, a compact, automated cutting machine for plasma and oxy-fuel cutting. SGX carries up to three tool stations, including up to two oxy-fuel torches and one plasma station that can be equipped with ESAB's m3-IGC system for plasma cutting. Features include the Vision T5 touch-screen CNC with built-in automatic nesting, as well as automatic gas controls and plasma automation.
Build quality on the SGX includes a heavy steel beam, precision machined mating surfaces and a linear rail. According to ESAB, SGX enables rapid cut-to-cut cycle times through the integration of dual-side, high speed AC drives and a fast torch lifter.
Also standard equipment is an oxy-fuel gas control that switches automatically between low pre-heat and high pre-heat pressure, as well as ease-on cutting oxygen for piercing thicker materials.
SGX can be configured with a range of plasma options.
