0558102340 - ESAB Crossbow Portable CNC Plasma Cutter System with A40

Automated Precision in a Portable Package

The ESAB Crossbow Plasma Kit A40 redefines what is possible for small fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and educational facilities. This comprehensive package combines the versatility of the Crossbow portable CNC gantry with the reliability of the A-Series A40 air plasma power source. Designed for users who need the precision of automated cutting but lack the floor space or budget for a full-sized industrial table, the Crossbow offers a compact, flexible solution that does not compromise on quality.

Integrated CNC Technology

At the heart of the system is a fully integrated CNC controller built directly into the central unit. This user-friendly interface features a vivid display and a menu-driven operating system that simplifies setup and operation. Operators can choose from a built-in library of common geometric shapes—such as circles, rectangles, and flanges—and input dimensions directly at the machine, eliminating the need for a separate computer for simple tasks. For more complex profiles, the system accepts standard G-code files via a convenient USB port, allowing you to design parts in your preferred CAD/CAM software and transfer them effortlessly to the cutter.

Powerful A40 Plasma Source

This kit includes the ESAB A40 plasma power source, optimized for automated applications. Running on single-phase 208/230V power, the A40 delivers a smooth, consistent arc capable of piercing and cutting conductive metals with speed and accuracy. The included SL100 SV machine torch is designed for high-duty cycles and superior consumable life. The system also features an integrated motorized lifter with Arc Voltage Height Control (AVHC), which automatically maintains the optimal torch height during cutting, ensuring consistent kerf width and edge quality even on uneven plates.

Versatile and Transportable

One of the Crossbow's standout features is its portability. The guide rails and central unit can be disassembled quickly, allowing the entire system to be transported to job sites or stored away when not in use. Despite its lightweight design, the precision guide rails provide a stable platform for the motorized carriage, ensuring smooth motion and accurate cuts across the standard 5-foot by 10-foot cutting area. Whether you are cutting brackets, custom signage, or HVAC ducting, the Crossbow Plasma Kit A40 delivers professional automated results in a package that fits your workspace.
