How much does the ESAB Vision 50 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 Vision 50 is listed here as a small air plasma power source with a 15–50 A output, weighing 18.6 kg (41 lb) and cutting mild steel to 12 mm (1/2 in) in production. 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.
This is a sheet and light plate unit. Production capacity is 12 mm (1/2 in) on mild steel and on stainless, and 10 mm (3/8 in) on aluminum. Severance on mild steel reaches 25 mm (1 in), which is useful for occasional cut-offs but not for parts. Duty cycle is 60% at 50 A, so at full output on a CNC table the nest has to leave the unit time to rest.
The only gas is compressed air, for both plasma and shield, which keeps the installation to a clean, dry air supply. The torch can be an inline machine torch for CNC use or a hand torch, and a standard machine interface is listed for connection to a CNC table. Ignition is by high-frequency pilot arc. High-frequency starting can disturb nearby electronics, so cable routing and grounding deserve care when the unit is mounted on a table.
Input voltage is listed as 208–575 V at 50/60 Hz, a wide range for one unit.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Runs on compressed air alone for both plasma and shield
- Weighs 18.6 kg (41 lb), so it moves easily between a table and hand work
- Input voltage range of 208–575 V at 50/60 Hz
- Inline machine torch and standard machine interface listed for CNC table connection
Limitations
- Production capacity is 12 mm (1/2 in) on mild steel and stainless and 10 mm (3/8 in) on aluminum
- Duty cycle is 60% at 50 A, limiting continuous cutting at full output
- High-frequency pilot arc ignition calls for careful grounding near CNC electronics
- Not in ESAB's current lineup; the table is from a third-party listing

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Production capacity is 12 mm (1/2 in) on mild steel, 12 mm (1/2 in) on stainless and 10 mm (3/8 in) on aluminum. Severance on mild steel is 25 mm (1 in). Output current is 15–50 A.
02
Yes, according to the listed figures. The torch options include an inline machine torch for CNC, and a standard machine interface is listed for CNC table connectivity. Ignition is by high-frequency pilot arc, so follow good grounding practice on the table.
03
Compressed air only, used as both plasma and shield gas. No bottled gas is listed. Air quality affects consumable life and cut quality on any air plasma, so supply it clean and dry.
04
Input voltage is listed as 208–575 V at 50/60 Hz. The table's phase entries do not agree with each other, one giving 1-ph or 3-ph and another three-phase, so confirm the phase and input current from the data plate.
05
60% at 50 A. At full output the unit is rated to cut for part of each cycle and rest for the remainder, so long continuous cuts at 50 A need pauses or a lower current setting.
