ESAB Cutting Systems offers SGX, a compact, automated cutting machine for plasma and oxy-fuel cutting. It carries up to three tool stations, including up to two oxy-fuel torches and one plasma station that can be equipped with ESAB's m3-IGC Precision Plasma System for high-quality plasma cutting. Advanced features include the easy-to-use Vision T5 touchscreen CNC with built-in automatic nesting, as well as automatic gas controls and plasma automation powered by m3 Plasma technology.
The heavy steel beam, precision machined mating surfaces and linear rail are engineered for enhanced performance and accuracy. The SGX enables higher productivity with rapid cut-to-cut cycle times through the integration of dual-side, high-speed AC drives and a fast torch lifter.
The compact design of the SGX cutting machine minimizes floor space requirements. One-meter rail increments keep the footprint small to maximize production space.
Simple, automated operation is achieved with the built-in process database in the Vision T5 CNC, which fully integrates ESAB plasma and oxy-fuel process controls into an easy-to-use touchscreen interface.
The oxy-fuel gas control automatically switches between low preheat and high preheat pressure. Ease-on cutting oxygen allows for piercing of thicker materials. Gas controls are located at the side of the machine where the operator has easy access and can see the torches while making adjustments.
SGX can be configured with a range of plasma options, from simple air-plasma systems up to fully automatic 360 amp multi-gas plasma systems. The machine can be equipped with ESAB's m3 Plasma for cutting up to 50 mm (2") in mild steel. The m3 Plasma system cuts a wide range of material types and thicknesses, and produces a high quality cut face with low dross, requiring little secondary clean up, according to the company. It features an automatic gas control integrated with the process database on the CNC for easy process set-up.
SGX is available in sizes to cover plates up to 2,500 mm (8') wide, and up to two 6,000 mm (20') plates end-to-end. It is offered with a choice of downdraft tables or water tables for dry or underwater plasma cutting.
