Precision Hole Technology™
ACCUR ACY. CYLINDRICIT Y. EFFORTLESSLY.
ESAB makes plasma cutting of
small holes easier than ever.
Precision Hole Technology is an
integrated set of technologies that
work together to produce bolt-ready
holes in low-carbon steel down to 1:1
diameter-to-thickness ratio on material
Effortless production of bolt-ready holes.
Precision Hole Technology™
The CNC:
ESAB Vision® 5x controls feature advanced motion and
kerf algorithms to ensure precision small hole cutting.
The Vision T5 CNC includes Precision Hole
Technology built-in to the EasyShape™ Part Program
Generator and optional EasyNest™ automatic nesting
feature.
Perfect bevel cutting
Up to 5:1 Holes
Smooth Lead-in/Lead-out
Excellent Cylindricity
Down to 1:1 Holes
The Software:
Columbus™ III software automatically applies optimized
hole cutting geometry and process codes.
All hole cutting expertise is captured in a database
No manual intervention is required
The equipment:
m3 plasma allows precise mixing and modulation of the
shield gas, shaping the arc for the highest cylindricity
ESAB's encoder based height control ensures
roundness by maintaining consistent height while
cutting the hole
ESAB's powerful Digital AC drives ensure round hole

The ESAB Advantage
Only ESAB delivers the entire package.
Rely on ESAB to manufacture the
gantry and integrate the entire system,
including the plasma, CNC, height
control, programming software, and
the motion system. ESAB stands
behind the entire system because we
make the entire system.
Only ESAB m3 plasma systems can
fully control shield gases. Extensive
testing shows that pure oxygen is not
the ideal shield gas for edge quality.
m3 plasma is capable of switching,
mixing, or adjusting shield gases on
the fly. Precision Hole Technology
uses a mix of Oxygen and Nitrogen as
the shield gas, and changes the shield
gas between starting and cutting to
minimize pierce spatter.
Precision Hole Technology also applies
to slots having width to thickness
ratios down to 1:1.
from 10 gauge to 1 inch thick. When
parts are programmed using ESAB's
Columbus.NET software, machine
operation requires no intervention to
produce high quality holes.*
* Dross is to be expected on small hole contours even when other contours are dross-free. Precision Hole Technology provides best results when cutting on a dry table. Cutting under water may affect the hole quality.
This capability range applies to m3 plasma "Generation 2" gas control hardware.
