How much does the ESAB Plasmarc Precision CNC Plasma System cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc plasma cutting in this class — not a quote from ESAB. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The ESAB Plasmarc Precision CNC Plasma System is a table-and-gantry plasma machine with a 200–400A precision HD power source and cutting areas from 5 x 10 ft to 8 x 20 ft, depending on configuration. It is not in ESAB's current lineup and may be an older model. The table comes from a third-party listing, so the listed figures are unconfirmed.
On carbon steel the quality-cut limit is up to 1.5 in (38 mm), with severance to 2.5 in (64 mm). Positioning speed is up to 600 ipm (15,240 mm/min) and cutting speed runs from 20–500 ipm depending on material and thickness. The top of the cutting range is close to the positioning speed, so on thin sheet the machine spends little time waiting on rapids.
Standard beds are 5x10 ft and 6x12 ft, with larger configurations available, and the machine weighs approx. 4,000–7,000 lb (1,815–3,175 kg) depending on bed size. Add the heaviest plate you intend to load when checking the floor. Control is the ESAB Vision T5 CNC with precision plasma process tables, and the supply is three-phase.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Standard table sizes are 5x10 ft and 6x12 ft, with larger configurations available. The cutting area row gives a range of 5 x 10 ft to 8 x 20 ft depending on configuration. Machine weight is approx. 4,000–7,000 lb (1,815–3,175 kg) depending on bed size.
02
On carbon steel, up to 1.5 in (38 mm) for a quality cut and 2.5 in (64 mm) for severance, from a 200–400A power source. No thickness is listed for stainless or aluminum, so ask for cut charts for those metals.
03
Positioning speed is up to 600 ipm (15,240 mm/min). Cutting speed is 20–500 ipm depending on material and thickness, the low end applying to thick plate and the high end to thin sheet.
