Plasma cutting machine
29 January 2016
Franklin Steel has invested in an ESAB SGX plasma cutting machine so it can undertake profiling in-house. This has reduced the lead time for customers ordering profiles, increased profit margins on those orders and, most importantly, opened up a new revenue stream in the form of a profile cutting service.

ESAB’s SGX plasma cutting machine was developed specifically to meet the needs of customers such as steel stockholders and fabrication shops requiring compact, cost-effective machines that still offer the quality, ruggedness, reliability and longevity associated with ESAB’s larger plasma and oxy-fuel cutting machines.
Costs have been reduced by measures such as standardised machine sizes, so quality has not been compromised; the SGX machine features the same plasma system, controller and software as found on the larger ESAB cutting machines.
