ESAB unveils plasma packages for robot integration
1 min read
ESAB Cutting Systems' m3 Plasma Package is designed for integration with arc welding and various other robots that are used in the manufacturing area, and is intended for cutting and marking .
With its simple CNC interface, the package is said easy for robot suppliers, integrators and users to use.
The m3 Plasma Package consists of a plasma power source from the m3 series, a flow control system, PT36 torch, as well as a stand-alone CNC control, such as the ESAB Vision 50P that is fitted with all the intelligence to deliver precision and standard cutting and marking.
The plasma system also comes with a number of interface options, to ensure trouble free integration on different levels with the existing robotic system.
One platform, together with one torch and one set of components, can perform both cutting and marking functions in both gas-shielded and water injection plasma cutting modes.
There are four levels of m3 power supplies available to cut material thickness requirements from 2 to 150 mm and employ the same CNC interface.
The PT-36 cutting torch is said to be ideal for marking and cutting (straight, thick and precision), as well as bevelling applications and robotic 3D weld edge preparation cutting.
