0558102346 - ESAB Crossbow Portable CNC Plasma System with Cutmaster A60 (460V)

Advanced Portable Automation for Industrial Cutting

The ESAB Crossbow Plasma Kit A60 460V (SKU: 0558102346) represents a significant leap forward in portable mechanized cutting technology. Designed for fabricators who require the precision of CNC automation without the footprint of a traditional large-scale table, the Crossbow system offers a versatile solution for both shop floors and field applications. This comprehensive kit integrates the robust Crossbow gantry with the high-performance Cutmaster A60 plasma power source, specifically configured for 460V industrial power grids. This pairing ensures that users have immediate access to production-level cutting capabilities in a package that can be easily transported and set up in minutes.

At the core of this system is the Crossbow's sophisticated CNC controller. It comes pre-loaded with a comprehensive library of standard shapes, allowing operators to input dimensions and start cutting immediately without the need for external programming. For more complex geometries, the system accepts standard CNC files via a USB interface, making it compatible with most offline nesting and CAD/CAM software. The inclusion of the Cutmaster A60 provides a genuine 60 Amps of cutting power, utilizing the renowned 1Torch technology (SL100SV) to deliver clean, dross-free cuts on mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. The automated torch interface seamlessly communicates with the CNC to manage arc initiation and stability.

One of the standout technical features of this kit is the integrated Arc Voltage Height Control (AVHC). In plasma cutting, maintaining the correct torch-to-work distance is critical for consumable life and cut angularity. The Crossbow's motorized lifter automatically adjusts the torch height in real-time by monitoring the arc voltage, compensating for warped plates or uneven surfaces. This ensures consistent cut quality across the entire 5-foot by 10-foot effective cutting area. The 460V configuration of the A60 power source ensures high electrical efficiency and stability, making it ideal for heavy-duty industrial environments where three-phase power is standard.

The system's mechanical design features precision guide rails and a sturdy central beam, minimizing vibration and ensuring accurate motion control. Despite its robust construction, the unit remains lightweight enough for two people to move, transforming any flat surface into a production cutting station. Whether used for structural steel fabrication, tank manufacturing, or maintenance repair operations (MRO), the ESAB Crossbow Plasma Kit A60 delivers a cost-effective route to automation.
