How much does the Machitech Silver Cut 5x20 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Machitech Silver Cut 5x20 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
Two standard sheets end to end, or one long plate: the Machitech Silver Cut 5x20 stretches the narrow Silver Cut bed to a processing range of 66 x 252 in (1,676 x 6,400 mm). It is a downdraft table. Machitech does not list a water version at this length.
A long bed pays off in how the operator works. One half can be unloaded and reloaded while the torch cuts on the other, which is the closest a table without a shuttle comes to continuous running. Long parts such as stair stringers and frame rails fit in one piece. The downdraft bed has drawers for retrieving parts and slag.
The frame stays 95 in (2,416 mm) wide and grows to 290 in (7,380 mm) long. Machine weight is 5,140 lbs (2,330 kg) before the plasma source, and the table carries a workpiece of 6,120 lbs (2,775 kg), twice the figure of the Silver Cut 5x10.
Cutting performance is the family's: 600 ipm (15,240 mm/min) maximum cutting speed, 1,000 ipm (25,400 mm/min) rapid traverse, 0.003 in (0.07 mm) positional accuracy and 0.002 in (0.05 mm) repeatability, from servo motors on all axes under a steel gantry. Plate thickness goes to 1.5 in (38 mm) and Z-axis clearance is 7.5 in (190 mm). Plasma amperage is 170A, 200A, 45-125A, with the XPR170 CorePlus as the system the line is designed around. Options are pipe cutting for 1.6 to 8 in diameter, manual bevel, pneumatic scribing and oxyfuel.
