The FIRECUT Pro CNC Plasma Cutting Table is a high-performance, gantry-based CNC cutting system engineered for demanding production environments requiring precision, speed, and reliability. Designed for the accurate cutting of all electrically conductive sheet metals—including mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, and galvanised steel—it delivers consistent, industrial-grade results across a wide range of fabrication applications.
FIRECUT Pro integrates Hypertherm Edge Connect CNC control with Phoenix software, combined with full ProNest nesting and cut optimisation. This advanced software environment embeds cutting parameters directly into the program, enabling automated toolpath generation, reduced setup time, and repeatable high-quality output, even for less experienced operators.
Built on a rigid steel frame with precision-machined structural components, Firecut Pro is designed for stability under sustained, multi-shift operation. Motion is driven by powerful 750W EtherCAT servo systems on all axes, paired with helical rack and pinion drives, Hiwin linear guides, and low-backlash planetary gearboxes to deliver smooth, high-speed, and highly accurate positioning across large-format cutting areas.
FIRECUT Pro is a production-focused CNC plasma system offering enhanced performance, increased load capacity, and extended cutting areas compared to standard models. Available in sizes from 2m x 1m up to 4m x 2m, with table load capacity up to 1000 kg/m² and rapid traverse speeds of up to 25,000 mm/min, it is ideally suited to high-throughput workshops, industrial fabrication, and businesses requiring scalable, heavy-duty cutting capability.
