0558102540 - ESAB Crossbow CNC Plasma Cutter Kit with A40i Power Source

Automate Your Cutting with the ESAB Crossbow A40i Kit

Take your fabrication shop to the next level with the ESAB Crossbow Plasma Kit. If you have been cutting parts by hand or struggling with older, less reliable track torches, the Crossbow offers a leap forward in productivity and precision. This isn't just a machine; it's a complete "shop in a box" solution that brings CNC automation to small and medium-sized workshops without the massive price tag or floor space requirements of a full industrial table.

The kit comes ready to run with the legendary Cutmaster A40i plasma cutter. Known for its reliability and punch, the A40i allows you to slice through metal with speed and minimal dross, meaning less time grinding and more time welding. Because the system runs on single-phase power (208-480V), you don't need to rewire your shop with heavy industrial 3-phase lines just to get automated. You can set it up, plug it in, and start cutting parts immediately.

One of the biggest challenges in plasma cutting is keeping the torch at the right height, especially when your metal plate is a little wavy or bowed. The Crossbow solves this with its built-in Arc Voltage Control (AVC). It acts like cruise control for your torch height, automatically moving the torch up and down as it cuts to keep the perfect distance from the metal. This means your consumables last longer, your cuts are cleaner, and you don't have to stand over the machine watching every second of the cut.

The on-board computer is incredibly easy to use. You don't need to be a computer programmer to run it. It comes with a library of standard shapes—circles, squares, flanges, and brackets. You just select the shape, type in the size you want, and hit go. For custom parts, you can draw them on your PC and transfer them to the machine with a simple USB stick. Whether you are building custom brackets, art pieces, or production parts, the ESAB Crossbow A40i Kit gives you the power of a large cutting table in a portable, affordable package.
