The ESAB Silhouette 1000 is a low cost light duty cantilever plasma table cutting system ideally suited for a fabricating shop or maintenance department needing a high quality, photo-optical controlled shape cutting system. Optional Vision LE CNC.
• All the features combine into a system that gives the Silhouette 1000 the precision and stability needed for consistent accurate cutting. Rack-and-pinion drives, rugged cross beam and hardened round rails are standard equipment. Cutting and tracing widths of 4 or 6 feet (1219 and 1829 mm) are available. With optional rail extensions and extra tracing tables, length can be established as required for your application.
• A moveable tracing table and easy-to-use HL-90 Optical Tracer will let you cut parts faster and easier.
• The HL-90 will give you years of dependable service tracing lines as narrow as 0.030" (0.762 mm), at speeds from 2 - 118 inches per minute (50.8 - 3000 mm/m). Forward offset provides accurate corner cuts, while kerf compensation is adjustable up to ±1/8" (3 mm). Cutting parameters controlled from the HL-90 control panel include: direction of travel; speed; operating mode; power and cutting oxygen.
• The machine has enough capacity to accommodate up to five cutting stations. Station configurations can include four oxygen/fuel-gas torches, one plasma torch, or a combination of up to four oxygen/fuel-gas stations and one plasma station. Optional motorized lifts are available as well as a festoon system to ease cable and hose movement along the rail.
• Add the optional Vision LE CNC to the Silhouette 1000 and automate your cutting operations. The cutting process will be faster, more accurate and more productive. Part programs can be created directly from templates. All cutting functions and machine travel are controlled quickly and accurately. In addition, parts can be nested to increase efficient material use.

The optional ESAB's Vision LE is a high performance PC-based control designed specifically for cutting machines. It is fast, easy to use, and offers features that are focused on plate cutting. The Vision LE is the ideal control for a wide range of machines, from entry level to large gantries. It provides a graphical user interface on a PC based system that is as reliable as it is simple. On screen graphics and hardware features like the soft-key menu and speed potentiometer make it easier to operate by putting the necessary controls at your fingertips. The Vision LE also has many advanced features not found in competitive controls, such as multi-tasking, program parking, plate alignment, program graphics with real-time display of running point, graphical shape library, high speed dry-run, and kerf override.
ESAB Vision LE Features:
• High Speed Motion Control and I/O Control Hardware with 1 ms Servo Update Time, and built-in 3 Axis support for dual-side drive gantries.
• PC-Based Processor with 16 MBytes part program storage, allows instant access to hundreds of part programs or nests.
• Advanced Motion Control algorithms use velocity feedforward compensation, s-curve evaluation, acceleration/deceleration based on radius or angle of intersection, and kerf overlap avoidance.
• Speed Potentiometer - Provides easier, more accurate control of cutting speed, and is always accessible.
• Sealed Keypanel with Easy Touch buttons are easy to feel, and give a positive "click" when pressed. Durable panel is sealed against dust and liquid.
• Teach Trace Interface - Connects directly to the Video Path or other competitive tracers to allow trace-and-cut or trace-and-record.
• Part Program Graphics - On screen graphics show real-time tool position during program execution, graphical selection of shape library programs, graphical preview of dimensioned shapes and graphics-to-text program editor.
• Exclusive Library of 51 Shapes - Simple user interface allows the operator to graphically select the desired shape, enter the required dimensions, then see a graphical preview of the part before storing the new program.
• Step & Repeat - Automatically cut an array of parts by entering X and Y repetition values.
• Mirror Image & Part Rotation - Rotate a
