ESAB introduces Falcon cutting machine

The Falcon entry-level compact cutting machine from ESAB Cutting Systems can be fitted with oxy-fuel cutting torches or can be supplied as an oxy-fuel package prepared for plasma-arc cutting.

Small engineering businesses can use this capability to produce quality steel construction and cut components in-house rather than using a subcontractor.

With its integrated CNC system, Falcon offers a fast, flexible, automated cutting solution capable of producing cut components on demand.

It is a suitable choice for workshops where space is at a premium and is designed to cut plate sizes up to a maximum of 2m x 6m with positioning speeds of up to 9m/min.

The Falcon has the option of being upgraded at a later date to a different process for specific cutting tasks.

Depending on the cutting process selected, it can cut steel, aluminium and alloyed steel up to 100mm thick.

The CNC system 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, plus a transverse and linear drive system with three-phase current for high cutting accuracies over the entire cutting range.

Copies of the latest Falcon literature are now available from ESAB Cutting Systems.
