The Viper is a very heavy duty, high productivity machine which was developed to fill the need in the market for multipurpose features. With twin low level rails for maximum access, the Viper has been designed for high performance Gas and Plasma cutting applications across wide areas.

In addition to the options for Gas & Plasma systems, the Viper can be equipped with a 6 station, autochange Drilling & Tapping head so that machined parts can be made on the same  machine.

The Viper can be equipped with up to 8 cutting heads carrying Oxy-fuel and/or Plasma systems up to 760AMPS(Oxygen plasma gas). The Viper  is also available to take Hydefinition Plasma systems and a variety of markers and spot drills. *Download Viper brochure (2Mb):
