ESAB Cutting Systems' M3 plasma cutting system is a complete high-performance system that is quick and easy to install and demands little in terms of operation and maintenance.
It offers a range of functions including marking and labelling and new cutting torch features have widened the scope of applications and improved cutting quality.
The latest PT-36 plasma-arc torch can replace up to three single-purpose torches and consumes fewer wear parts.
It enables the M3 plasma to carry out the high-quality precision cutting and marking of thick plate.
The torch can handle cuts of a variety of geometrical shapes, bevel cutting with a weld bevel angle of zero degrees to +/-45 degrees and the most common marking and labelling tasks.
The cutting thickness depends on the M3 plasma power source used and ranges between two and a maximum of 60mm in constructional steel, stainless steel and aluminium.
As an option, the PT-36 plasma-arc torch can now be upgraded for cuts up to 150mm in stainless steel and aluminium.
The M3 plasma system also uses ESAB's so-called shield gas technology, in which a secondary gas, such as oxygen or nitrogen, is used alongside the plasma gas, circulating around the arc and providing it with a protective, stabilising shell.
The result is a fine, accurate arc that has greater density and stability in comparison to conventional processes, according to the company.
This leads to higher cutting speeds, more precise cut edges and high-quality cut surfaces.
Small to medium-sized sub-contracting and manufacturing companies are said to be benefiting from the advantages of plasma-arc cutting thanks to falling costs and continually improving technology.
