0560954394 - ESAB Crossbow 4x4 Portable CNC Cutting Machine

Automated Precision Anywhere You Need It

The ESAB Crossbow 4x4 Package revolutionizes the way small fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and educational institutions approach metal cutting. Traditionally, Computer Numerical Control (CNC) cutting was reserved for large industrial facilities with massive gantry systems and significant floor space. The Crossbow shatters this barrier by providing a compact, portable, and self-contained CNC solution that delivers high-quality mechanized cutting in a 4-foot by 4-foot envelope. Whether you are cutting intricate shapes for custom parts or processing standard brackets, this system ensures repeatability and accuracy that manual cutting simply cannot match.

Dual-Process Capability

Versatility is at the core of the Crossbow's design. This package is engineered to handle both oxy-fuel and plasma cutting processes. For heavy carbon steel plates, the oxy-fuel setup allows for deep, clean cuts through thick materials. When speed and versatility on non-ferrous metals like stainless steel or aluminum are required, the system can be easily adapted with a plasma power source (sold separately). The motorized torch lifter is designed to accommodate these changes seamlessly, and when paired with a compatible plasma system, it supports arc voltage height control to maintain the optimal tip-to-work distance automatically.

Smart CNC Technology

You do not need to be a computer programmer to operate the Crossbow. The integrated CNC controller features a user-friendly, menu-driven interface that is easy to learn. It comes pre-loaded with a comprehensive library of common geometric shapes, allowing operators to input dimensions and start cutting immediately without needing offline software for every task. For more complex custom designs, the system accepts standard CNC programs, making it a flexible tool for bespoke fabrication. The unit also features a USB port for easy program transfer.

Portability and Setup

One of the standout features of the Crossbow 4x4 is its portability. The rail system and central unit can be disassembled and transported to job sites, making it ideal for field repairs or construction projects where bringing the material to the shop is not feasible. The setup is quick and requires minimal tools, allowing you to go from transport to cutting in a fraction of the time required for traditional stationary tables.
