0558008251R - ESAB m3 Plasma Shield Gas Control Box CAN Module

Precision Gas Control for Automated Plasma Systems

The ESAB Shield Gas Box M3 CAN REM (0558008251R) is a critical component designed for the ESAB m3 Plasma cutting systems. This unit serves as the primary regulation module for the shield gas, which is essential for protecting the plasma arc and cooling the torch consumables during high-amperage cutting operations. By precisely managing the flow and pressure of the shield gas, this box ensures that the plasma stream remains focused and stable, directly influencing the angularity, dross levels, and overall quality of the cut edge.

Engineered with CAN bus technology, this module communicates directly with the system's CNC and power source, allowing for automated adjustments and real-time monitoring of gas parameters. This integration is vital for modern automated cutting tables where gas mixtures and pressures may need to change dynamically based on material thickness and type. The unit is identified by part number 0558008251R and is also associated with the reference number 0558010155R, ensuring compatibility across specific generations of the m3 system architecture.

As a replacement component, this Shield Gas Box is built to meet ESAB's rigorous industrial standards. It is housed in a durable enclosure designed to withstand the dusty and electrically noisy environments typical of metal fabrication shops. Proper functioning of the gas box is necessary to prevent premature consumable wear and to maintain the tight tolerances required in precision plasma cutting applications.
