0559166362 - ESAB Crossbow Portable CNC Plasma Cutter with A60i Power Source

Complete Portable CNC Plasma Solution

The ESAB Crossbow Plasma Kit A60i (SKU: 0559166362) represents a significant advancement in portable, automated cutting technology. This comprehensive package integrates the versatile Crossbow gantry system with the high-performance Thermal Dynamics Cutmaster A60i plasma power source. Designed for industrial environments requiring precision and flexibility, this kit transforms standard manual cutting operations into automated, high-efficiency production workflows. The system operates on a 208-480V, 3-phase input, delivering a robust 60 Amps of cutting power suitable for a wide range of conductive metals.

At the core of the system is the Crossbow gantry, a compact and lightweight unit that can be easily transported and set up on existing cutting tables. It features a fully integrated CNC controller with a user-friendly, menu-driven interface. Operators can select from a built-in library of standard shapes or upload custom nesting programs via a USB port. The drive system utilizes precision stepper motors and linear guide rails to ensure smooth, accurate motion profiles, significantly reducing secondary machining requirements compared to hand cutting.

The included Cutmaster A60i power source is engineered for heavy-duty cycle applications, boasting an 80% duty cycle at maximum output. It is paired with the SL100SV 180-degree mechanized torch, which is specifically designed for automated carriages. A critical feature of this kit is the integrated Arc Voltage Height Control (AVC). This system automatically monitors the arc voltage to maintain a constant torch-to-plate distance, compensating for plate warping or uneven surfaces in real-time. This results in consistent kerf width and superior edge quality throughout the cut duration.

This kit is an ideal solution for MRO shops, small fabrication businesses, and educational institutions looking to introduce CNC capabilities without the capital expenditure of a full-sized industrial table. The system also supports oxy-fuel cutting (hardware sold separately), providing dual-process versatility. The package includes all necessary interface cables, ensuring a plug-and-play setup experience for the end-user.
