ESAB retrofitable controller extends machine life

The Vision 51R is available in a number of packages that are drop-in replacements for existing customers that have ESAB NCE controllers, as well as other types. Packages are available ex-stock to minimise downtime and dispense with costly repairs to old, unsupported control systems. Vision 51R offers major productivity and operational advantages through features such as faster processing for all nesting and standard shape cutting programs, as well as increased nest and parts storage memory. Screen graphics and joystick control provide easier operation and there are more communication options with off-line programming systems. ESAB Cutting Systems provides full service and spares support for the Vision 51R, extending the lifetime of the existing machine. It also enables future enhancements on drives and processes to be retrofitted at a later date, so users continue to get the most from both the control system and the cutting machine.
