Plasma-arc CNC profilers offer high accuracy

Portal cutting machines have been designed for precision plasma-arc cutting, combine high productivity with high accuracy and their advanced process integration ensures high levels of cutting quality.

Esab Automation now has an extended range of Eagle portal cutting machines which have been designed for precision plasma cutting. There are four models in the range which combine high productivity with high accuracy. Advanced process integration ensures consistently high levels of cutting quality.

The four EAGLE machines offer cutting widths from 1500mm, with one torch, up to 3000mm with two torches.

Cutting thickness is up to 30mm with cutting speeds and positioning rates up to 35mm/minute.

The Eagle’s feature automatic switching from cutting to marking.

To promote the highest plasma cutting quality, a number of advanced design features are included.

The voltage related electric arc height regulation ensures optimum cutting quality through the entire cutting process.

The machine’s double side synchronised rack and pinion drive together with an advanced guiding system ensure 100% accuracy over the entire cutting range.

The cutting torch height is exactly pre-set by the Super Rapid Initial Height Sensing System which positions the plasma torch precisely in less than 1.5 seconds, thereby also eliminating unnecessary down time.

Economy, efficiency and flexibility are hallmarks of Esab precision plasma systems they provide exact cutting edges with little slag, minimum material deformation due to a very restricted heat affected zone and no reworking.

By configuring the plasma systems, plate thicknesses up to 30mm can be cut in stainless steel, aluminium or unalloyed steels.

Accompanying the Eagle range are Esab Vision Control Systems.

These provide comprehensive control possibilities with integrated cutting databases and the possibility of implementing fully automated production cycles.

Full details of the entire Eagle range are provided in new literature available from the company - telephone Esab for details.
