How much does the ESAB Vision 50 CNC Plasma Cutting 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 Vision 50 CNC Plasma Cutting System is listed with a cutting area configurable from 6 x 12 ft to 8 x 20 ft, quality cuts in carbon steel up to 2 in (50 mm) and a positioning speed of up to 600 ipm (15,240 mm/min). It is not part of ESAB's current lineup. Treat the listed figures as a guide and check them against the machine in front of you.
Two thickness figures appear, and they mean different things. Up to 2 in (50 mm) is the quality-cut limit in carbon steel. The 3 in (76 mm) figure is severance: the plate is parted, but the edge is not one to send on without further work. Cutting speed is given as 10–400 ipm depending on material, thickness, and amperage. That sits below the 600 ipm (15,240 mm/min) positioning speed, which governs the moves between parts and not the cut.
Weight is approx. 3,500–5,500 lb (1,590–2,495 kg) depending on bed size, lighter than the approx. 4,000–7,000 lb (1,815–3,175 kg) listed for the Plasmarc Precision CNC Plasma System. The plasma power source row covers 300/400/600A units, and the control is listed as an ESAB Vision T5 CNC with touchscreen and DXF import.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Quality cuts in carbon steel up to 2 in (50 mm), with severance to 3 in (76 mm)
- Cutting area configurable from 6 x 12 ft to 8 x 20 ft, with custom bed sizes available
- Positioning speed of up to 600 ipm (15,240 mm/min) between cuts
- Control listed with a touchscreen and DXF import
Limitations
- Beyond 2 in (50 mm) the only figure is 3 in (76 mm) severance, which is not a quality cut
- Weight of approx. 3,500–5,500 lb (1,590–2,495 kg) varies with bed size, so rigging and floor loading must be worked out for the specific table
- The power source row spans 300/400/600A without saying which unit a given machine carries

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The table size row gives standard 6x12, 6x24 and 8x20 tables plus custom configurations. The cutting area row describes the range as 6 x 12 ft to 8 x 20 ft with custom bed sizes available. The two rows do not line up exactly on the longest table, so measure the bed of the machine you are considering.
02
Up to 2 in (50 mm) in carbon steel as a quality cut, and 3 in (76 mm) as severance. Which end of that range a machine reaches depends on its power source: the row covers 300/400/600A units, so find out which one is fitted.
03
Cutting speed is listed as 10–400 ipm depending on material, thickness, and amperage. Positioning between cuts is up to 600 ipm (15,240 mm/min).
04
Approx. 3,500–5,500 lb (1,590–2,495 kg) depending on bed size. The spread is wide enough that the weight of the specific table should be confirmed before arranging transport or checking the floor.
