The ESAB Crossbow Plasma Kit A80 460V (0558102351) is an all-in-one mechanized cutting package designed for welders and fabricators who demand consistency, speed, and power. This kit pairs the robust Crossbow portable gantry system with the proven performance of the Cutmaster A80 plasma power source, configured for 460V 3-phase input. It is the ideal solution for shops that need to automate their cutting processes to improve throughput and edge quality but do not require a large, fixed-installation cutting table.
The included Cutmaster A80 is a heavy-duty inverter-based power source delivering 80 Amps of output. It is rated for a genuine production cut of 3/4 inch (20 mm) and a maximum severance of 1-1/2 inches (40 mm). The unit utilizes the legendary 1Torch technology with the SL100SV mechanized torch, known for its excellent arc stability and long consumable life. The 180-degree torch design allows for streamlined cable management within the Crossbow's energy chain, preventing snags and ensuring smooth gantry movement.
The Crossbow system itself is packed with features typically found on much larger machines. The central unit includes a motorized lifter that works in tandem with the Arc Voltage Height Control (AVC). This system monitors the arc voltage to maintain a precise torch-to-work distance, which is critical for achieving dross-free cuts and maximizing nozzle life. The CNC interface is intuitive, featuring a library of 24 common shapes that can be parameterized right at the machine. You can also load nesting programs via USB, making it compatible with offline programming software.
Setup is quick and straightforward. The heavy-duty aluminum guide rail provides a stable foundation for the gantry, and the entire system can be assembled or disassembled in minutes. While this kit comes dedicated for plasma cutting, the Crossbow platform is versatile enough to support oxy-fuel cutting with an optional torch upgrade, giving you the flexibility to cut extremely thick carbon steel if your needs change. The 460V configuration ensures high electrical efficiency and stability in industrial settings, reducing amp draw on your primary service compared to lower voltage options.
