Machine Specifications

You will need to supply a plasma cutter and personal computer. See the purchase info that comes with the demo video for details and requirements.
  • Unique Digital Height Control²™ reliably controls the height of the torch.
  • Precision servo motors utilize optical encoder feedback for closed-loop operation.
  • Closed-loop servo controller achieves superior accuracy, speed and acceleration (compared to open-loop controllers, such as stepper motor drives), providing perfect positioning - even in demanding conditions.
  • All speeds are adjustable during operation.
  • Automated Cutting Machine can slow down when cutting around corners and holes and speed up when cutting back along a kerf.
  • For maximum accuracy, the gantry is synchronously driven at both ends.

  • See for yourself! Watch our demo video and you'll be amazed by how quickly your ideas turn into outstanding products.
  • Moving parts are rigid, without excessive weight. This enhances performance - providing fine, detailed cutting and high productivity through fast cut speeds.
  • Rugged CNC plasma cutting machine with strong drive train is built to perform in heavy production. Drive train and electronics are protected from plasma dust, and guide rollers move unobstructed.
  • Durable steel frame with integral cutting grate. (We loaded up a machine with over 10,000 pounds of metal and couldn't make it collapse!)

  • The machine is more accurate than a plasma torch. This drawing (1/10th the size of the plasma cut part) was made by the machine holding a pen. With plasma, the machine can achieve part accuracies as high as ±0.005 inch, depending on setup conditions.
  • Cutting grate precisely aligns to the frame, with stops that perfectly position material for indexing and utilizing sheet edges in long parts.
  • Wide plasma cutting torch compatibility with a simple, easy-to-install interface. Works with common hand torch (machine torch not needed).
  • Includes specialized PlasmaCAM DesignEdge™ software.
  • Video-based instruction manual is easy to navigate and guides you with live-action illustrations.
