Precision Cutting Versatility
When choosing a precision cutting system, there are many factors which need to be considered - part application, type and thickness of material to be cut, cut quality, system cost, consumable cost, and overall operating expense.

In addition, there are a variety of precision systems available to the market today - ranging from manual gas consoles to automatic gas consoles, and units capable of cutting from gauge material to 1.25" plate and above.

The VICON Elite can be custom designed for cutting based on shop criteria as mentioned above. Or our highly trained sales and technical specialists will eliminate the guesswork and engineer a system utilizing the "right" torch that will enable you to achieve the goals you are looking to accomplish through plasma cutting technology. Through sample parts and time studies, you can see the end results before making a final decision.

Plasma Automation incorporates only systems manufactured by the industry leaders in plasma cutting technology. System warranty and service are impeccable and expert advise is always available through developed partnerships with torch manufacturers.

Electronic Torch Height Control and Collision Protection
> To enhance the efficiency of each torch system, the Vicon Elite incorporates your choice of electronic torch height control, which maintains a precise cutting height of the torch during the piercing and cutting cycles to further enhance cut quality.
> A collision protection device is also added to protect your torch investment from damage in the event of collision with the material.
