CNC plasma-arc cutting power source

ESAB Cutting Systems has launched a CNC plasma-arc cutting power source that provides high-speed cutting of materials from 0.5mm to 100mm.

The three-phase 440A 50Hz machine, with IP 22 protection, operates from a 400V supply.

The power source also produces high-quality cuts, has low running costs and is ideal for production line applications, steel producers and sub-contract profilers.

High-speed cutting can be achieved on conductive materials including mild steel from 0.5 to 80mm, stainless steel from 1mm up to 100mm including up to 70mm dross-free, and aluminium.

Quality cutting can be achieved with all thicknesses and piercing of material up to 50mm thickness can also be carried out.

Plasma gases include air, oxygen, nitrogen/hydrogen, argon/hydrogen with argon as a marking gas.

Cutting and marking operations can be carried out with the same consumables.

The power source can be used in conjunction with the full range of ESAB CNC plasma-arc cutting tables.
