CNC plasma and waterjet cutting, Esab acquires Swift-Cut

To grow its leadership in the global fabrication, cutting equipment and consumables markets, Esab has acquired Swift-Cut, a leading manufacturer of light industrial CNC plasma and waterjet cutting machines based near Birmingham, England.

“Swift-Cut solutions enable fabricators of all sizes to leverage the power of CNC technology to shift from manual to automated cutting operations, bringing metal cutting in-house, and expanding services – says John Boisvert, VP, global cutting and aftermarket of Esab -. Swift-Cut complements Esab’s global leadership portfolio in high-precision, high-productivity, heavy-duty automated cutting systems, plasma beveling, CAD/CAM software and cloud-connected cutting analytic tools with tailored machines and solutions for light industrial fabricators”.

Swift-Cut mechanized systems deliver high-precision cutting speeds combined with an affordable investment, ease-of-use, and excellent aftercare service and support. The company offers four table sizes ideal for smaller spaces: 1.250 x 1.250 mm (4 x 4 ft.), 2.500 x 1.250 mm (8 x 4 ft.), 3.000 x 1.500 mm (10 x 5 ft.) and 4.000 x 2.000 mm (13 x 6.5 ft.). Systems are available with Esab and alternative power sources for multi-gas and air-plasma cutting. Swift-Cut’s easy-to-use software guarantees that anyone with a basic knowledge of computers can operate the CNC plasma cutting or waterjet cutting system. Minimal training and set-up time mean the table will be operational almost immediately.

“Esab will provide global scale to Swift-Cut’s sales and services with the expanded global supply chain, engineering, and manufacturing capabilities – says Phil Camp, managing director, Swift-Cut -. We expect the synergies of these two businesses will lead to exciting new products and accelerate expansion into markets previously not yet served by Swift-Cut”.

Swift-Cut portfolio includes:

• Swift-Cut Pro is the company’s most popular CNC plasma cutting machine. With user-friendly software, the Swift-Cut Pro range delivers high-speed precision cutting at a low cost, providing a solution for affordable in-house metal cutting up to 25 mm (1 in.).
• Swift-Cut XP is designed for production cutting of metals up to 32 mm (1-1/4 in.). It uses AC servo motors across all axes for improved accuracy and features a heavy-duty construction.
• Swift-Cut HVAC Pro Package (available for Europe) takes the exceptional engineering of the Pro series and matches it with a range of easy-to-use software options for HVAC. It also offers the Typhoon 4 Extraction System for efficient fume suppression.
• Swift-Jet Pro sets the benchmark for affordable quality in waterjet cutting, providing ability to cut a wide range of materials with superb accuracy and repeatability.

Swift-Cut has an established customer base of more than 4,000 systems installed in more than 30 countries around the world from Australia to Mexico, and recently expanded into the United States with offices in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Swift-Cut tables are designed, engineered and manufactured in the U.K., Germany, and the U.S.
