ESAB Welding and Cutting Products m2 Smart Plasmarc™ 200

ESAB Cutting Systems introduces Smart Plasmarc 200, a new m2 plasma system for heavy-duty mechanized 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 38 mm (1.25 inches) thick, with capacity to edge start and sever materials up to 50 mm (2 inches) thick, and is engineered for high reliability and easy operation. High cutting speeds improve efficiency and produce more cut parts per hour. When compared to oxy-fuel, ESAB's m2-200 is more than four times faster on 12 mm (1/2 inch) mild steel. Quick setups and process changes also maximize the productivity of this cutting system.The m2-200 system provides 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 full 100 percent duty cycle at 200 amps enables the system to handle the most demanding production requirements with the highest reliability.
