0560954396 - ESAB Crossbow CNC Oxy-Fuel Cutting Kit (Fuel Gas)

Expand Your Crossbow's Capabilities with Oxy-Fuel Power

The ESAB Crossbow Oxy-Fuel Kit (FG) (SKU: 0560954396) is an essential upgrade for fabricators utilizing the ESAB Crossbow portable CNC cutting system. While the Crossbow is often paired with plasma for speed on thinner materials, this oxy-fuel package unlocks the ability to process heavy carbon steel plate with precision and ease. Designed specifically for Fuel Gas (FG) service—such as Propane, Natural Gas, or Propylene—this kit provides a cost-effective and efficient solution for cutting thick sections that require the intense, sustained heat of a gas flame.

The kit is engineered for seamless integration with the Crossbow's existing carriage and control system. It replaces or supplements the plasma torch holder, providing a rigid and stable platform for the included machine torch. The package comes complete with all necessary gas distribution components, including solenoid valves that interface with the CNC controller to automate the pre-heat and cutting oxygen flow. This automation ensures consistent pierce cycles and lead-ins, reducing operator error and material waste.

Heavy Plate Processing

One of the primary advantages of installing this kit is the dramatic increase in thickness capacity. While portable plasma systems often top out around 1 inch for production cuts, the Crossbow equipped with this oxy-fuel torch can slice through mild steel up to 4 inches (100mm) thick (depending on specific tip selection and gas supply). This makes it ideal for structural steel fabrication, heavy equipment repair, and job shops that encounter a wide variety of material thicknesses.

Safety and Durability

Safety is paramount in automated cutting. The kit includes T-Grade hoses, which are chemically resistant to alternative fuel gases, preventing the degradation that can occur with standard R-Grade hoses. The torch itself is built to withstand the reflected heat of heavy plate piercing, featuring robust construction and high-quality valves. Whether you are cutting parts for infrastructure, mining, or general manufacturing, this OEM kit ensures your Crossbow operates at peak performance with factory-verified compatibility.
