Arclight Dynamics Arc Pro Elite V3 4x4

The Arclight Dynamics Arc Pro Elite V3 4x4 is the smallest full-size table in its series, the Arc Pro platform fitted with the Flashcut CNC control package. Its cutting envelope is 54 x 49.5 in, with 9 in of Z. A sheet from 4 x 8 stock fits across it with a few inches to spare, but only about half of its length goes on at once.

Mechanically the Arc Pro Elite V3 is the Arc Pro table: a welded steel frame, a dual-drive gantry on machined aluminum risers, NEMA 34 motors with planetary gear boxes, and Hiwin 20 mm precision linear guide rails. Z runs on a ball screw. Arclight lists positioning accuracy as 0.001 in and rates the table for 1.5 in mild steel. Leveling rollers are standard, and the wiring is enclosed. None of that differs from the Ultra version of the same size; what the Elite name buys is the control.

This is the size for a shop that counts floor space first. The base measures 61 x 61 in and the table weighs 800 lb, light enough that the standard rollers make moving it a one-person job. Its water pan holds 53.4 gallons. Overall dimensions with the gantry and cabinet are listed as 81 x 102 in and 74 in tall, which is the figure to check against the bay, not the base.

Flashcut CNC is an integrated CAD, CAM and CNC package, so a part is drawn, nested and cut in one program instead of being passed between three. True shape nesting works across several CAD or DXF files and across more than one sheet. A bitmap or photo can be converted into a toolpath, and a fix tool finds and corrects mistakes in imported drawings. Torch height control and dynamic voltage sampling are standard. The plasma cutter is selected separately.
