ESAB invented plasma cutting in 1955, and we've never stopped developing ways to make plasma cutters better and easier.  ESAB's latest innovations in the plasma cutting process automation increase production with more consistent cut quality every time... regardless of operator skill level.

ESAB also offers multi-process plasma machines combining Precision Plasma for intricate internal cuts and conventional plasma for external cuts providing you with faster cutting times and greater productivity.

Programmable Cutting Parameters - ESAB fully integrates process and cutting equipment with our state-of-the-art Vision CNC controller and Columbus programming & nesting software. All plasma cutting parameters - gas and water flows, peirce time, speed, kerf, height control and cutting amperage, etc. - are consistent, repeatable cut quality. Manually choose parameter sets or allow the part program to call up multiple sets for completely automated set up.

Precision Flow Control - ESAB's exclusive m3 plasma system features precise automatic gas control, integrated with the CNC for fast, accurate gas switching and regulation.  Produces Precision, Production, or Sever quality cuts with the touch of a button.

Patented Single Torch Cutting & Marking - Eliminate the need for a dedicated plasma marking system with the PT-36 Precision Plasma torch.  Integration of the CNC, flow control, and power supply permits automatic switching from high-amp cutting to low-amp marking in seconds.

Patented Plasma Pre-Stop - This feature shuts off the plasma cutter arc at the precise moment the cut ends to assure smooth leadouts and reduce blemishing of the cut surface.

400-Amp Dry Oxygen Plasma Cutting - Available since 1997, this capability permits piercing and cutting up to 1.5 inches in carbon steel.

ESAB CNC Plasma Cutters or Plasma Cutting Tables are available in a number of styles, including:
