M3 PLASMA PACKAGE WILL EXTEND ROBOT VERSATILITY

ESAB Cutting Systems' new m3 Plasma Package is designed for integrating with arc welding and various other robots used in the manufacturing area.  With its simple CNC interface, it is now easy for robot suppliers, integrators and users to take advantage of one of the most advanced plasma cutting and marking systems available.

The m3 Plasma Package consists of a plasma power source from the m3 series, a flow control system, PT36 torch as well as a stand alone CNC control, such as the ESAB Vision 50P, which is fitted with all the intelligence to deliver precision and standard cutting and marking.  The plasma system also comes with a number of interface options to ensure trouble free integration on different levels with the existing robotic system. 

 

The flexibility of the m3 will have wide appeal.  One platform, together with one torch and one set of components, can perform both cutting and marking functions in both gas-shielded and water injection plasma cutting modes.  There are four levels of m3 power supplies available to cut material thickness requirements from 2mm to 150 mm. They employ the same CNC interface to take advantage of many different cutting and marking solutions.

The PT-36 cutting torch is ideal for marking and cutting (straight, thick and precision) as well as bevelling applications and robotic 3D weld edge preparation cutting.

 


The introduction of the m3 Plasma Package means that ESAB can now supply a complete range of cutting equipment for robot suppliers or systems integrators.  Also available are air plasma systems designed to easily interface with robots for lower cost installations offering up to 25mm cutting thicknesses.  ESAB Cutting Systems can also supply a complete gas cutting kit for integration into robotic installations.  Similarly, were preheating is required, ESAB has developed a special torch to perform in robotic applications.
