ESAB introduces 'entry level' CNC cutting machine

To enable small subcontractors to cut and profile metal components in-house, ESAB has introduced an 'entry level' CNC oxy-fuel gas or plasma-arc cutting and profiling machine.

Small engineering businesses will profit from being able to cut and profile components in-house instead of putting the work out, said ESAB Cutting Systems.

So ESAB has introduced an 'entry level' machine, the 'Falcon'.

The Falcon can be fitted with oxy-fuel gas cutting torches or ESAB will supply it as an oxy-fuel package prepared for plasma-arc cutting.

The Falcon offers fast, flexible, efficient, high quality, automated cutting for plate sizes up to a maximum of 2m x 6m.

ESAB told manufacturingtalk that the Falcon is the ideal choice for workshops where space is at a premium.

The Falcon can cut steel, aluminium and alloyed steel material up to 100mm thick, with a maximum cut length of 6m, according to the cutting process in use.

* Control system - the Falcon has ESAB's Vision LE Controller, which includes a high resolution 640 x 480 screen, disk port for data transfer, an eight position joy stick, a pre-programmed shape library and a 16MB flash-D user memory.

The compact size of the Falcon makes it ideal for use where space is limited, said ESAB, and it can be installed quickly with minimum disruption.
