ESAB Introduces New Compact, Automated Cutting Machine for Plasma and Oxy-Fuel Cutting

ESAB Introduces New Compact, Automated Cutting Machine for Plasma and Oxy-Fuel Cutting


Florence, SC (PRWEB) September 23, 2014

ESAB Cutting Systems introduces SGX, a compact, automated cutting machine for plasma and oxy-fuel cutting. The method is developed with ESAB’s major-edge technologies created cost-effective for the modest fabricator or manufacturer. SGX is a rugged, higher-efficiency machine that carries up to 3 tool stations, like up to two oxy-fuel torches and 1 plasma station that can be equipped with ESAB’s m3-IGC Precision Plasma Program for higher-top quality plasma cutting. Sophisticated attributes incorporate the easy-to-use Vision® T5 touch-screen CNC with constructed-in automatic nesting, as effectively as automatic gas controls and plasma automation powered by m3 Plasma technology.

&#13

Efficiency and accuracy are assured with a heavy steel beam, precision machined mating surfaces, and linear rail. This rugged design and style ensures smooth motion, accuracy and long term machine durability. SGX enables higher productivity with fast reduce-to-reduce cycle occasions by means of the integration of dual-side, high-speed AC drives and a fast torch lifter.

&#13

The compact style of the SGX cutting machine minimizes floor space specifications. One-meter rail increments hold the footprint small to maximize production space.

&#13

Simple, automated operation is achieved with the built-in approach database in the Vision T5 CNC, which fully integrates ESAB plasma and oxy-fuel procedure controls into an straightforward-to-use touch-screen interface.

&#13

The oxy-fuel gas manage automatically switches among low preheat and high preheat pressure. Ease-on cutting oxygen makes it possible for for piercing of thicker supplies. Gas controls are conveniently positioned at the side of the machine exactly where the operator has effortless access and can see the torches while making adjustments.

&#13

SGX can be configured with a wide variety of plasma possibilities, from straightforward air-plasma systems up to completely automatic 360 Amp multi-gas plasma systems. The machine can be equipped with ESAB’s m3 Plasma® for cutting up to 50 mm (2 in.) in mild steel. The m3 Plasma program achieves superior cutting final results more than a wide range of material sorts and thicknesses, and produces a high quality cut face with low dross, requiring little secondary clean up. It attributes an automatic gas control integrated with the procedure database on the CNC for quickly and straightforward process setup without having the guesswork.

&#13

SGX is offered in sizes to cover plates up to 2500 mm (eight ft.) wide, and up to two 6000 mm (20 ft.) plates finish-to-finish. ESAB’s newest cutting system is offered with a choice of downdraft tables or water tables for dry or beneath-water plasma cutting.

&#13

For far more than 75 years, ESAB Cutting Systems has been supplying off the shelf, turnkey options to buyers about the world. ESAB Cutting Systems is a total technique supplier, offering CNC shape cutting machines in a assortment of sizes, employing a wide variety of cutting technology to include plasma, oxy-fuel, laser, and waterjet tools, programming and nesting software, and CNC controls.

ESAB Brings Advanced Welding Automation, CNC Cutting to IMTS 2014

ESAB Brings Advanced Welding Automation, CNC Cutting to IMTS 2014


Florence, SC (PRWEB) September 15, 2014

ESAB Welding &amp Cutting Goods demonstrated the most current in welding automation and CNC cutting at IMTS 2014, The International Manufacturing Technologies Show, held September 8 – 13, at Chicago’s McCormick Location. According to the show’s organizer, attendance figures indicate that IMTS 2014 is 1 of the top 3 shows in the event’s history, proving the continued leadership of manufacturing in the overall economy.

&#13

ESAB showcased the flexibility of pre-engineered robotic cells with the Swift Arc SL method, a side-load robotic cell featuring a new tandem Swift Arc Transfer (SAT™) MIG welding method. The robotic cell in combination with tandem SAT process achieves travel speeds nicely beyond the limits of normal spray arc welding for higher productivity automated welding.

&#13

The Swift Arc SL is made for robotic welding of large components at high production prices. Enhancing the speed and productivity of the robotic cell was a new tandem SAT procedure that makes use of twin welding wires running simultaneously by way of the cell’s robotic torch to deliver exceptionally higher deposition rates. This high-productivity MIG welding procedure produces flat welds with excellent penetration and without undercut. Its low heat input benefits in less deformation, which minimizes post-weld labor helping reduced production charges.

&#13

ESAB Cutting Systems highlighted the Hydrocut™ LX, a mixture waterjet and plasma cutting method. The machine makes use of the patented combination of thermal and non-thermal processes operating on the exact same gantry, enabling it to reduce with the high accuracy of waterjet where necessary, but employ the high speed and low expense of plasma whenever attainable.

&#13

By combining waterjet and plasma on the exact same machine, each tools can be employed on the exact same parts. Higher precision contours can be reduce with waterjet, whilst non-vital contours can be cut with plasma. This patented program enables customers to obtain precise cuts when necessary with no sacrificing speed on each reduce. Parts that are suited for the waterjet-plasma mixture can be reduce in a fraction of the time, resulting in a dramatic expense reduction and productivity enhance when compared to waterjet cutting alone.

&#13

At IMTS 2014, ESAB won the “IMTS: Everywhere You Look” Photo Contest. The show asked exhibitors to recreate the IMTS logo employing their products, their employees, or anything they could feel of. ESAB’s inventive entry, showcasing the cutting precision of the ESAB m3 Plasma™ Method, won the competitors.

&#13

IMTS (http://www.IMTS.com) is the biggest and longest running manufacturing technologies trade show in the United States held every single other year. Recognized as a single of the world’s preeminent stages for introducing and promoting manufacturing gear and technologies, IMTS attracts far more than one hundred,000 guests from every level of industry and much more than 112 nations. IMTS is owned and managed by AMT – The Association For Manufacturing Technology.
