Plasma cutting system

03 July 2015

ESAB Cutting Systems has introduced Smart Plasmarc 200 for heavy-duty mechanised cutting.

 

 


The m2 plasma system cuts a broad range of material types and thicknesses using air, oxygen or nitrogen gases. It delivers high productivity piercing and cutting in mild steel up to 38mm thick, with capacity to edge start and sever materials up to 50mm thick, and is engineered for high reliability and easy operation.

 

High cutting speeds improve efficiency. When compared to oxy-fuel, ESAB’s m2-200 is said to be more than four times faster on 12mm mild steel. Quick setup and process changes further boost the productivity of this cutting system.

 

The m2-200 system is said to provide high cut quality with minimal dross, reduced warping and a small heat-affected zone, resulting in fewer secondary operations and a lower per-part cost than oxy-fuel cutting. A 100% duty cycle at 200A enables the system to handle the most demanding production requirements.

.

ESAB’s newest plasma cutting system is also easy to use. A built-in process database features optimised cutting parameters that help ensure consistent cutting results. Parameters are selected and controlled in one step. Simple and intuitive operator controls reduce the need for training, minimise errors and shorten setup time. Advanced diagnostics simplify troubleshooting and maintenance. The system is built to be quick and easy to install, allowing for immediate productivity gains.


The m2-200 replaces ESAB’s mechanised ESP-150 and ESP-200 systems. ESP-150 packages with hand torches and in-line torches remain available for non-automated cutting applications.
