CNC plasma pipe, tube and profile cutting: ERCOCUT 220

The ErcoCut EC220PHT 75M is a dedicated plasma system for conductive metal tube and supported structural profiles. Its published configuration includes a Hypertherm Powermax85 source, manual front and rear self-centering chucks, automatic material supports and automatic bevel cutting to 45° right and left.

Round outside diameter is 0.75–8.625 inches, with maximum material weight of 30 lb per foot and standard stock length of 24.5 feet. Published profile limits include 6-inch square tube and 8 × 2-inch rectangular tube. Confirm angle, channel, wall thickness and workholding requirements for the actual part.

The EC220 flyer lists 196 ft/min maximum linear axis speed. This is not a guaranteed cutting speed. Actual plasma cutting speed and edge quality depend on material, wall thickness, geometry, consumables and process settings.

Software, programming and first-part setup

For the plasma machine, product information lists IGES and DXF import. Bring your own files to verify compatibility and ask to see simple cutoff, notch, hole and bevel programming on the supplied interface. Confirm included CAD/CAM modules, nesting, postprocessor and office licenses in writing; do not assume every format or module is standard on both models.

Fiber laser alternative: EC245L

The EC245L fiber laser cutter has its own source, software and handling specifications. Its August 2026 U.S. flyer describes a 3 kW source and integrated Sync3D CAD/CAM with design, simulation and G-code generation. Review the exact supplied package and test your files rather than applying the laser specification to the plasma machine.

Built in Italy by CML International and supported by CML USA in Davenport, Iowa, the ERCOCUT range serves small fabrication shops, job shops and production manufacturers. Ask about financing and the complete installed scope.

Plasma or Laser ~ Which Is Right for Your Shop?

Consider CNC plasma for conductive-metal fabrication where its installed cost, cutting capability and weld-preparation workflow fit the job. Consider fiber laser when finer features, tighter part requirements or reduced finishing justify the complete system and operating costs.

Compare both processes on your material and wall thickness. Neither process guarantees zero cleanup, and a cut edge must meet your welding or finishing requirements. Measure programming, loading, first-piece inspection and finishing as well as cutting time.

What a CNC Pipe Cutter Replaces

Manual template layout, hole sawing, torch cutting and grinding can create repeated handling and fit-up work. CNC profiling can combine supported operations in a saved program, reducing manual layout and helping repeat production. The practical gain depends on the part and complete workflow—not simply the advertised cutting speed.

Why consider ERCOCUT for your fabrication shop?

• EC220 plasma capacity to 8.625-inch round OD and 30 lb per foot.
• Automatic material supports and low-backlash motion components.
• Automatic bevel preparation to 45° right and left on the published EC220 configuration.
• Saved CNC programs for repeat jobs and supported CAD import.
• Application review, parts and service through CML USA.

Frequently asked questions

What can a CNC plasma pipe and tube cutter make?

Supported operations include cutoffs, saddle joints, copes, miters, holes, slots and weld-preparation bevels. Applications include handrails, equipment frames and structural or mechanical fabrication, subject to the approved part and material.

What is the ERCOCUT 220 round capacity and weight limit?

Maximum round outside diameter is 8.625 inches (8-5/8 inches). Maximum material weight is 30 lb per foot. The published EC220 flyer also lists 6-inch square and 8 × 2-inch rectangular capacity. Confirm each profile and handling setup with CML USA.

What wall thickness can it cut?

Provide the actual material grade, wall thickness, feature sizes and finish requirements. Plasma-source cutting, piercing and severance ratings are different and do not independently establish the complete machine’s approved tube-wall capacity.

Can it make weld-preparation bevels?

The EC220 flyer lists automatic bevels to 45° right and left. Confirm the required angle, root face and material limits with a sample cut. Inspection and any required cleaning remain part of the welding procedure.

Is this a complete machine or a rotary attachment?

The EC220PHT 75M is a dedicated CNC plasma cutting system, not an add-on rotary attachment for an existing plasma table. Compare equivalent installed systems and included equipment when evaluating prices.
