0148141001 - ESAB Cyclone OPC Portable Oxy-Fuel Track Burner

Precision Portable Cutting with the ESAB Cyclone OPC

The ESAB Cyclone OPC (SKU: 0148141001) is a high-performance portable cutting machine designed to bring automation-level precision to manual cutting tasks. Engineered for versatility and durability, this motorized tractor is an industry favorite for fabrication shops, shipyards, and maintenance crews who require reliable oxy-fuel cutting capabilities in a portable package. Whether you are cutting straight lines, circles, or bevels, the Cyclone OPC delivers smooth, consistent motion that results in superior cut quality compared to hand cutting.

Robust Design for Industrial Use

Built to withstand the rigors of heavy industrial environments, the ESAB Cyclone OPC features a rugged chassis and heat-resistant components. Its compact and lightweight design allows a single operator to easily transport the machine to the workpiece, making it ideal for field applications where moving large plates to a stationary table is not feasible. Despite its small footprint, the machine is stable and powerful enough to handle heavy-duty cutting torches and thick plate applications.

Versatile Cutting Capabilities

The Cyclone OPC is not just a straight-line cutter. It is equipped to handle a variety of geometries:

• Straight Line Cutting: When used with a track (sold separately or included depending on kit), it produces long, perfectly straight cuts essential for plate sizing and stripping.
• Circle Cutting: With the appropriate radius bar attachment, the machine can cut precise circles and flanges, eliminating the need for expensive stationary circle burners for many tasks.
• Beveling: The torch holder is adjustable, allowing operators to set specific angles for weld preparation bevels (V, Y, X, and K cuts).

User-Friendly Operation

Ease of use is a hallmark of the Cyclone series. The machine features an intuitive control panel with a forward/reverse switch and a variable speed dial. The speed control is sensitive and stable, allowing the operator to dial in the exact travel speed required for the plate thickness and tip size being used. A clutch lever allows for free-wheeling, enabling quick positioning of the machine on the track or plate without engaging the motor gears.
