How much does the Esprit Automation Rotomax cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc plasma cutting in this class — not a quote from Esprit Automation. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Esprit Automation Rotomax is a CNC plasma machine for structural sections, not for flat plate. The listed figures cover H-beam, I-beam, channel, angle, and square and rectangular tube, with a maximum beam height of 600 mm (23.6 in) depending on model and a beam length of up to 18,000 mm (60 ft).
Section cutting depends on the rotation axis. The torch is listed with 360 degrees of rotation around the section, so it can reach every face of a beam or tube. Cutting thickness is given as up to 50 mm (2 in) of flange thickness, and the feed rate as up to 4,000 mm/min.
The plasma source row reads Hypertherm XPR or compatible, 130-300A. The source is therefore a choice made when the machine is specified, and the amperage chosen decides how much of the 50 mm (2 in) flange capacity is practical in daily work. The control is listed as Esprit CNC with DXF/DSTV import, which matters to fabricators who receive beam data as DSTV files and do not want to redraw it.
Installation is on the scale of a beam line. The listed machine weight is 8,000 kg (17,637 lb) and the supply is 400 VAC 3-phase 50 Hz. Stock of 18,000 mm (60 ft) also needs clear floor on the infeed and outfeed sides. Because the beam height figure is given as depending on model, confirm the height limit of the exact machine being quoted.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Listed for H-beam, I-beam, channel, angle, and square and rectangular tube on one machine
- 360 degrees of torch rotation around the section
- Takes beam lengths of up to 18,000 mm (60 ft)
- Esprit CNC control with DXF/DSTV import
- Plasma source range of 130-300A, for flange thickness up to 50 mm (2 in)
Limitations
- The 600 mm (23.6 in) maximum beam height depends on model, so not every version takes the tallest sections
- The only electrical supply listed is 400 VAC 3-phase 50 Hz
- An 8,000 kg (17,637 lb) machine with room for 18,000 mm (60 ft) stock is a permanent installation
- Feed rate is listed up to 4,000 mm/min, with no separate positioning speed in the table

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed processing sections are H-beam, I-beam, channel, angle, and square and rectangular tube. The torch has 360 degrees of rotation around the section, which is what allows all of those shapes to be cut on one machine.
02
The listed figures give a maximum beam height of 600 mm (23.6 in), depending on model, and a beam length of up to 18,000 mm (60 ft). Flange thickness is listed up to 50 mm (2 in).
03
The plasma source row lists Hypertherm XPR or compatible, in the range 130-300A. The table does not tie a particular amperage to a particular thickness, so ask for cut charts for the source that is actually fitted.
04
The control is listed as Esprit CNC with DXF/DSTV import. DXF covers general profile geometry and DSTV is the exchange format used for structural steel members, so both drawing-based and detailing-based workflows are covered.
05
The listed electrical supply is 400 VAC 3-phase 50 Hz and the machine weight is 8,000 kg (17,637 lb). Floor space has to allow for beam lengths of up to 18,000 mm (60 ft) entering and leaving the machine.
