Upgrade available

ESAB Cutting Systems is offering plasma cutting retrofit upgrade packages to users of ESAB cutting machines. It's a means of maximising their potential without investing in a new machine. Benefits claimed range from improved quality of cut and reduced operational costs to increased cutting speeds, increased cutting thicknesses and improved consumable lifetimes.

Users can select from a range of plasma systems, torches, controllers and software packages to create an upgraded system. These include the m3 plasma system with a choice of systems for piercing up to 50mm, mild steel. These can be combined with the latest PT 36 Plasma Torch for cutting and marking as well as the Vision 51R CNC control system.

Columbus III, the latest programming software, is said to make it easier to program cutting requirements as well as labelling and marking processes. In conjunction with the m3 plasma system, it will provide high cut quality with precision hole technology.
