 Arcos Bridge & Rail Plasma Cutting System

MultiCam has added the Arcos Bridge & Rail Plasma to its Fabrication product division portfolio. The Arcos Bridge & Rail Plasma provides enhanced accuracy and speed with a 200 percent increase in acceleration and 50 percent increase in traverse speeds over prior models.

This MultiCam CNC Fabrication system features both the Hypertherm Plasma and IHT Automation OxyFuel torch. Both torch systems reportedly lower the overall cost of operation, while producing a high-quality cut.

“The launch of the Arcos is now MultiCam’s third major launch in our corporate strategy to release a completely new system design in our Router, Digital Finishing, and now our Fabrication product divisions,” says Chairman/CEO David Morse.

The MultiCam Arcos system can cut any metal from gauge material up to 2” of mild steel and 6” stainless (with the Hypertherm XPR300 Power Supply) and features automatic homing, breakaway design, centering mount, as well as four levels of surface detection and protection. Whereas the integrated IHT Automation OxyFuel torch can cut up to 8” of mild steel, with high-speed consumables that deliver high-quality cuts with an oxygen gas stream traveling faster than the speed of sound. This new OxyFuel design automates the cutting process from start to finish (Auto-Gas, Auto-Light, Auto-Height, and Auto-Pierce).

“The MultiCam Arcos is a ground up design that offers a full complement of features that cater to both the Hypertherm XPR300 plasma cutting system and the new Auto-Gas IHT OxyFuel cutting system. The Arcos Bridge & Rail system, with its enhanced speeds and accelerations as well as a fully integrated process library compliments both the Hypertherm and IHT torch and is perfectly balanced to improve our end-users overall cutting experience,” says Fabrication Product Manager Kris Scherm.
