0559166361 - ESAB Crossbow Portable CNC System with A60i Plasma Cutter

Automated Precision on the Go

The ESAB Crossbow Plasma Kit A60i represents a significant leap forward in portable cutting technology, bringing the precision of CNC automation to job sites and small fabrication shops that previously relied on manual cutting or expensive, stationary tables. This comprehensive kit pairs the versatile Crossbow gantry system with the powerful Thermal Dynamics Cutmaster A60i plasma power source, creating a turnkey solution for mechanized cutting. Designed for flexibility, the system runs on single-phase power ranging from 208V to 480V, ensuring compatibility with a wide variety of shop and field power supplies.

Integrated CNC Capabilities

At the heart of the system is the Crossbow's user-friendly CNC unit. It eliminates the need for an external computer on the shop floor by featuring a built-in library of common shapes and the ability to read standard G-code files directly from a USB drive. This allows operators to program cuts offline or select pre-loaded patterns instantly, significantly reducing setup time and material waste compared to manual operations. The motorized lifter is equipped with Arc Voltage Control (AVC), which automatically maintains the optimal torch height during cutting, ensuring consistent kerf width and edge quality even on uneven plates.

Powerful A60i Performance

The inclusion of the Cutmaster A60i power source ensures that the Crossbow has the muscle to match its brains. Delivering 60 Amps of cutting power with an impressive 80% duty cycle, the A60i is built for continuous production environments. It is capable of production piercing up to 5/8 inch (16mm) mild steel and can sever significantly thicker materials when edge-started. The unit utilizes the renowned SL100SV 180-degree machine torch, known for its durability and consumable longevity. Whether you are in HVAC, structural steel, or general maintenance, this kit provides a cost-effective entry into automated cutting without the footprint of a traditional gantry table.

Key Benefits for Your Shop
