If you want to take your metal cutting to the next level, step up to the XCS Plasma 4000 series machines. Designed to use specialty cutting gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, or mixtures, these machines give you better edge quality, higher feed rates, thicker cutting capacities, and longer consumables life.

Our philosophy in building this series of machines is to supply the purchaser with everything he needs short of an operator and materials. All the machines are sold with “zero backlash” roller pinion drives, brushless AC servo system, and closed-loop encoder feedback for improved positioning accuracies and repeatability. Automatic torch height control, Ohmic sensing, and 360 degree torch collision avoidance are standard on all models. With our longer "Z" axis the 4000 series machines have the capability of cutting up to 8" tubing.

The XCS 4000 Series offers Hypertherm power supplies up to 260 amps with cutting capacities up to 2 1/2” (edge start) in mild steel plate and up to 8” steel tubing. The ability to cut stainless and aluminum more efficiently makes this series machine extremely versatile. With higher feedrates and near laser quality edges, this series of machines is a real manufacturing workhorse for a fraction of the cost of laser or waterjet.

The XCS 4000 series machines include all the necessary software to draw and cut your parts. Our SimplePath® software requires no G-codes or post-processor functions to operate the machine; just draw it and cut it. Smoke/dust control is handled either by a downdraft table and dust collector or by a water table.

“When I started looking for equipment to manufacture structural steel components, my first thought was that I need a laser. In the process of shopping for a machine, it was suggested that I talk to XCS Plasma, who suggested that I look at high performance plasma for my needs. They explained that I could achieve near laser quality for a fraction of the cost and cut my parts faster and cheaper. The first base plate we cut assured me I had made the correct choice in selecting the XCS 4500 for my company. The holes looked like they had been punched and the finished part took less time that it previously took to drill one hole. In comparing the cost of one drill bit to the cost of consumables for the plasma, the cost per hole went from $60.00 to about $.025.”
