Hydrocut(TM) Pedestal Waterjet/Plasma Cutting Machine and Powercut 1500 To Be Demonstrated At AWS



Florence, SC - ESAB Welding and Cutting Products booth at AWS (#1335) will feature live demonstrations of the industry's most state-of-the-art cutting products. Their booth will highlight technologically advanced displays including:

ESAB's Hydrocut Pedestal Waterjet/Plasma Cutting Machine

The ESAB Hydrocut Pedestal Waterjet/Plasma Cutting Machine is a patented cutting system featuring thermal and non-thermal processes on a single station. This machine is an excellent tool for increasing productivity and greatly reducing cutting costs.

The Waterjet/Plasma cutter makes intricate cuts in a part's internal geometry with waterjet and high-speed perimeter cuts with plasma. With this machine you can perform underwater waterjet and plasma combination cutting on the same part with no operator intervention.

Featuring a dual linear rail, AC brushless drives, planetary gearboxes and servo drive digital amplifiers, the machine is capable of cutting 5' or 6' widths and 4', 10', 12', 20', or 24' lengths. This cutting machine is available in 30, 50, 100, 150 and 200 horsepower models.

Additionally, optional plasma cutting, marking, drill or stonecutting routers are available as well as high-rail and low-rail configurations.

ESAB's Vision(TM) PC Control with Programmable Cutting Parameter Generator

The Vision cutting machine controller uses programmable cutting parameters (SDP Files) to simplify and automate cutting set-up and eliminate guesswork.

This smart technology automatically optimizes cutting speed and cornering based on material, thickness and desired cut quality. Kerf speed, dynamic axial pierce times and corner deceleration are set automatically.

Manufacturers can save settings in a file that can be recalled at will for quick set-up on repeat runs so that you get the same cut quality every shift, and with every operator. The Vision PC Control is available on new machines or as a retrofit for ESAB and competitors' waterjet systems.

ESAB's Columbus(TM) Software Programming System

Columbus integrated flexible programming software is the first cutting software package developed and maintained by ESAB. Designed by ESAB and proven in installations around the world, this Windows(TM)-based package provides simple set-up and full process control for every cutting machine in the shop. Columbus supports straight and bevel cutting for oxyfuel, plasma, waterjet and laser processes, along with all current marking devices.

A simple graphic interface allows easy programming without knowledge of machine codes. New post processors can be added with ease. An estimating module simplifies costing and customized reporting.
