Power Sources for M3 Plasma Cutting System



ESAB Cutting Systems has introduce the EPP-202 and EPP-362 Precision Plasmarc power sources for the m3 Plasma System, a precision plasma system that combines plasma cutting and marking capabilities in a fully integrated package.

"The EPP units offer precise control of the plasma current using all-digital control circuitry, and a new high-speed data bus connection that provides precise current control and gas regulation, as well as enhanced diagnostic capabilities, including advanced status and process monitoring," said a company spokesperson.

"The digital power circuits in the EPP-202 (200A) and EPP-362 (300A) allow the power sources to handle a full range of cutting and marking tasks, delivering consistent, repeatable results while maximizing consumable life, without sacrificing output power or stability," said the spokesperson.

An internal coolant circulator keeps the power sources operating at a more constant, controlled temperature for improved reliability.

The integrated EPP design reduces the size, weight and complexity of the power supplies, minimizing installation and floor space requirements.

"The EPP power supply is a core component of ESAB's m3 Plasma System that delivers advanced cutting features and components, including the new XR Series nozzles that enable faster cutting over a wide range of material types and thicknesses with less power, using the same nozzle, as well as ESAB's Precision Hole Technology, which automatically produces bolt-ready holes," said the spokesperson. "The m3 system supports SmartCycle Technology for increased productivity through full system integration of plasma, CAD/CAM/nesting software and CNC. In addition, the m3 system features Smart Voltage Height Control capability, which automatically adjusts the voltage height control for maximum consumable life while ensuring consistent cut quality through the life of the consumables."
