ESAB EAGLE Class

The EAGLE class of precision plasma cutting machines deliver exceptional

unrivalled cutting accuracy, productivity and quality throughout the plasma
cutting thickness range from 0.75 to 30 mm.

General description

User independent cut quality

With the Vision PC
automatic programmable
parameters
option, ESAB provides
automatic setting of
all the machine and
plasma parameters
including gas pressure and type, by selection of the appropriate thickness on the
supplied database.

The outstanding EAGLE machine is specifically designed for

precision plasma applications. It combines high productivity,
exceptional accuracy and sophisticated process integration
to deliver the highest cut quality parts at the most economical price.
The EAGLE is simple to use giving user independent cut quality of parts in a high productivity environment. The machine
can automatically change from cutting to marking to further
enhance its flexibility in modern workshops.
The EAGLE combines speeds up to 30 m/min and offers exceptional plasma cutting quality using the precision plasma
family. Low maintenance and the highest safety requirements
have also been incorporated in the design.

High precision mechanical design

A low level precision beam supported by side
carriages with optimum positioned
running
wheels
gives a machine
with a high stiffness. The twin
sided
synchronised rack and
pinion drive together with the
linear guiding system give the highest accuracy throughout
the entire cutting area.
Powerful drive motors and the rigid beam construction ensure
rapid response to direction change required for high quality
plasma cutting.
The precise longitudinal guiding track is mounted separate
and below the height of the cutting table ensuring the high
precision is not affected by the constant loading and offloading of plate on the table.

This unique system enables the customer to achieve consistent cut quality without regard to the operators skills or experience.
Set up times between different thicknesses and different materials are dramatically reduced ensuring consistently high
cutting quality with better productivity.

High efficiency and productivity

High efficiency and productivity are provided by many unique
features and include:
High speed torch raise and lower
Patented pre-flow and pre-switch of plasma gases
Cutting, contouring and positioning speed
of up to 30 m/min
Minimised set up time between different
materials and thicknesses
Multiple pre-defined cutting areas
Pentium based processing power of CNC control
Ability to fit two plasma systems to the machine

Advanced plasma torch carriage

Plasma marking

The plasma carriage is designed to incorporate all the latest

enhancements in plasma cutting to give a sophisticated fully
automatic torch height control together with design improvements in collision protection and operator convenience:

With precision plasma a

marking option can be offered using the same plasma
cutting torch without a separate marking station. This
gives the following benefits:
Increased accuracy
of the marking
Maximisation of the
cutting area
Reduced changeover time
Lower overall costs

CNC control
The machine can be supplied with either the Vision PC or NCE
290 CNC control. On the Vision PC, several options could be
integrated such as :

Initial Torch Height Setting via SRIHSS (Super Rapid

Initial Height Setting System) - positioning the height
of the plasma torch within less than 2 seconds,
reducing tremendously the non cutting time.
Cutting height sensing via responsive arc voltage
Unique ESAB anti-collision system, offering the
following unique advantages:
+ Immediate stop of the machine
whatever the collision
+ Complete removing of the torch in case
of big collision to avoid damage
+ Easy consumable change, by removing
the torch from its support
+ Highly accurate alignment sensor which always
guarantees a correct alignment of the torch
Oil Moisture Spraying System assists Hole Piercing,
better plasma start and consumable lifetime (option).
Plasma counter, with definition of warning values to
inform the operator about the life time, number of
piercing etc.

On-Screen Timer & Counters

Track consumable life,
pierces, arc on time, cutting time or other data for
shop management
(Vision PC / NT)
Up to 24 counters
and timers
Each display can
be reset to zero
Each display has a
threshold value, which
triggers an alarm message for the operator.
Programmable Cutting Parameters
Simplify and automate
cutting setup
Saves time
No more memorizing
cutting charts
No more forgetting to set
the right parameters
Get the same cut quality
every shift, every operator

ESAB Plasmarc systems

The EAGLE uses plasma cutting systems that deliver:
Pinpoint accuracy
Narrow kerf width and high quality cutting
Low bevel angle
Low dross
Smooth cut surface
Narrow heat affected zone
Minimum plate distortion
Low number of consumables to cover thickness
range
Cut thickness up to 30 mm mild steel, stainless steel
and aluminium

Plasma pre-stop
Patented CNC feature
Improves plasma torch consumable life
Shuts down the plasma arc just as
the torch reaches the end of cut
Preventing arc wander at the end of the cut
Electrode and nozzle wear are reduced
Plasma marked lines are enhanced
(with precision plasma) and many other features.

High accuracy repeatability

The EAGLE guarantees unbeatable
cutting repeatability for its whole operation period. The first cut will be like
the last cut.

Easy service and maintenance

The machine is designed with a high build quality to give you
many years of cutting life. The high reliability and low maintenance is assisted by:
Comprehensive machine diagnostics
Ability to link machine to modem service doctor
Plug and play replacement parts
Easy access to major components
Comprehensive documentation and instruction
manuals

Sixty years experience of cutting and responding to customers needs have resulted in an extensive range of products to meet most profile cutting applications. Based around the four methods of oxy-fuel cutting, plasma cutting,
laser cutting and water jet cutting, ESAB has developed a range of machines that deliver better cut quality, higher
cutting speeds, lower operating costs and integration into automated production methods.
