Guide advises on gas cutting machine refurbishment

A guide to the specification of refurbished profile cutting machines describes a refurbishment and retrofit service for any old ESAB, BOC or Hancock gas cutting machines in use.

A guide to the specification of refurbished profile cutting machines has been published by ESAB Automation, the UK's most experienced and established supplier of refurbished machines. Offering a cost effective alternative to investment in a new cutting machine, ESAB Automation has a wide and continuously changing stock of refurbished machines to suit all types of production requirements. Traditionally, the company offers customers a full refurbishment and retrofit service for any old ESAB, BOC or Hancock branded gas cutting machines still in use.

When companies opt to have their own machines refurbished, they can frequently be immediately swapped with an already upgraded machine of similar specification, saving downtime.

All the critical components of refurbished machines available from ESAB Automation's stock have been renewed to enhance performance, safety and accuracy.

All mechanical bearings, control panels, co-ordinate drive mechanisms, cutters, posts and gas hoses are replaced and optical tracing systems are frequently upgraded to include a new control system.

Retrofit of a CNC control gives customers immediate advantages at low initial cost.

Full details of ESAB Automation's Refurbished Cutting Machine Service are available in the 'New Guide to Refurbished Cutting Machines'.
