The Ergonomic Solution in Oxy-fuel and Plasma Cutting
A low-level main beam with prec-
ision guides, supported by lateral
panels with perfectly positioned
running wheels provide the machine
with maximum stiffness. Both lateral

tion challenges.
The ERGOSTAR EXA can be used for
numerous cutting tasks – oxy-fuel or
combined oxy-fuel and plasma.

ing table height. This allows for ease
of loading and unloading of the table
with fork-lift trucks and minimizes risk
of collision with the machine.

Plasma Cutting and Marking
The advanced design allows for
adapting the ERGOSTAR EXA to the
particular requirements of plasma
cutting and marking. Various ESAB
plasma-cutting systems for material
thicknesses of up to 50 mm are
available for cutting mild steel, stain-
less steel or aluminum. Rack
drive systems and servo-controlled
portal axles to ensure excellent
machine dynamics resulting in opti-
mum cutting quality.
A specialized collision protection
system designed by ESAB protects
the torch against mechanical dam-
age and furthermore facilitates nozzle
exchange. Depending on the plasma
system used, the torch carriages
are equipped with appropriate setting
systems and height sensing. The
ESAB collision protection system
will immediately stop the cutting pro-
cess and shutdown the machine in
case of disorder.

3 to 300 mm
Sophisticated Mechanical Design
Apart from a transverse drive motor
with precision rack and pinion
gear, ERGOSTAR EXA features
back-lash-free gears and drives
allowing for high positioning
rates of up to 24.000 mm / min.
The linear guiding with AC motors
ensures accurate travel of the tool
carriage as well as extraordinary
acceleration values. Sophisticated
design and precise workmanship
reduces maintenance expense and
ensures a long mechanical service
life.
For cutting with several torches, up
to 6 torch carriages can be attached
to a zero-backlash stainlesssteel band
which contrary to conventional steel
ropes is not susceptible to slag depo-
sits. The specialized rapid-action
coupling allows for efficient manual
positioning of the tool carriages and
mirror-inverted cutting.
Marking Device
Powder (grey or white)
This process can be used for several
applications including continuous or
dotted line marking and lettering for
assembling indication. The line thik-
kness will depend on the nozzle type
and marking speed.
Numerical Control System
The Vision 51/52 control systems are
provided with color graphic display,
fixed program technology. The inte-
grated bus system, which is reducing
the number of wires on the machine
and transmitting required information
reliably and simultaneously, is a great
advantage.
Plasma
Plasma marking is used for line width
between 0,6 and 3 mm. The advanta-
ge is the marking speed up to
18m/min, a short start-up-time and
permanent metal marking
The integrated cutting database
automatically sets cutting parameters
for optimum cutting. Due to its facili-
tated control, the ERGOSTAR EXA
portal cutting system is easy to
operate even with complex cutting
requirements.
Oxy-fuel Cutting
The ERGOSTAR EXA can be equiped
with up to six oxy-fuel cutting torches
for cutting unalloyed steel plates with
thicknesses of up to 300 mm.
For every application there is a choice
of appropriate torch carriages, torches
and nozzles. Each tool carriage is
provided with a reliable, automatic
ignition device. Solenoid valves on the
carriages allow for automatic piercing.
The cutting height is determined by
a capacitive ring, which aids precise,
straight cutting.

ESAB Vision control ensures rationali-

zed work preparation, constant cut-
ting quality by precise machine con-
trol and thus optimum productivity.
