High-Precision Plasma Power Source for Swift-Cut XP



The Precision 130 option for the Swift-Cut XP offers precision, material flexibility and reliability.

Swift-Cut, an ESAB brand, has announced that the ESAB Precision 130 high-precision plasma power source will now be available as an option for its Swift-Cut XP heavy-duty plasma table, which has also been enhanced. The system is shipped complete with the torch installed, fully wrapped for safe transportation and delivered ready for installation and training.

"The Precision 130 option for the Swift-Cut XP creates an unmatched combination of precision, material flexibility, affordability, and reliability," said Scott Wirtanen, Swift-Cut VP of Sales, USA. "By stepping up to the ESAB Precision 130 from a standard definition power source, Swift-Cut XP table users obtain fantastic edge and hole quality, outstanding parts life, up to 20% faster cutting speed, minimal secondary cleanup operations, and reduced gas consumption. These factors combine to lower operating costs by up to 70%."

The Precision 130 can cut using all popular high-precision plasma/shielding gas combinations, including Air/Air, O2, N2, H35, and the H20 (Water Mist Secondary process) to optimize nonferrous cutting. It has a cutting output of 130 amps at 100% duty cycle. It cuts 3/4" steel at 52 IPM and 1/2" steel at 85 IPM. Diameter Pro cutting technology produces "bolt-ready" holes, even with a 1:1 metal thickness/diameter ratio.

The Precision 130 offers the advantage of a complete, compact system with one main enclosure and a small gas controller. It measures 20" x 30" x 34", so the power source can be positioned close to the table when space is limited.

New features of the Swift-Cut XP include a 360° breakaway head to protect the torch in the event of a part collision, Ohmic height sense for repeatable cut quality and increased consumable life, laser crosshairs for faster and more accurate set-up, and a fully enclosed cutting head and torch assembly for durability. Swift-Cut XP cutting tables are offered in sizes of 5' x 10' or 6.5' x 13'.

Swift-Cut XP is designed for production cutting of metals across multiple shifts. It uses AC servo motors across all axes for improved accuracy and features a heavy-duty build with a base that is fully welded for strength and rigidity. The gantry is a custom aluminum extrusion with substantial machined end castings and powerful dual drive motors.
