Request a CNC Machine Live Demonstration

Test cut your actual material and CAD drawings with our Nottingham application engineering team. Verify cut speed, edge squareness, and consumable costs before making your capital investment.

Engineering Precision

Benchmark Your Part Mix with UK Cutting Engineers

Investing in industrial cutting machinery requires total certainty. At Esprit Automation, we invite global steel fabricators, OEMs, and steel service centers to test their exact part geometries prior to purchasing.

Whether you choose to visit our facility in Nottingham, England, or opt for an interactive high-definition virtual live stream, our experienced application specialists will guide you through nesting optimization, cut chart selection, edge tolerance measurement, and operating cost estimates.

  • Direct comparison between High-Definition Plasma, Fiber Laser, and Oxy-Fuel processes
  • Real-time trial cutting using your DXF / DWG files and material specifications
  • Full edge quality report detailing bevel angles, dross levels, and hole quality metrics
  • Verifiable consumable cost per meter analysis calculated by our software team

4-Step Verification Process

How Our Cutting Machine Demonstration Works

Every test session is engineered to provide transparent, audit-ready data tailored for international engineering teams and commercial buyers.

1. File Submission & Audit

Provide your nested components or single part drawings. Our engineers review material thickness, tolerances, and production volume requirements.

2. CAM & Cost Modeling

We process your parts through our native nesting software to calculate precise cut times, gas consumption rates, and wear-part longevity.

3. Live Machine Cutting

Observe the cut in person at our Nottingham works or via multi-angle HD streaming. Evaluate gantry acceleration, arc stability, and downdraft fume extraction.

4. Sample Inspection & Report

Review the cut parts. We dispatch cut samples directly to your international address alongside comprehensive technical recommendations.

Flexible Evaluation

Tailored Options for Overseas & Local Procurement

We accommodate global procurement managers and structural engineering teams across all time zones with flexible demonstration channels.

Preparation Checklist

What to Prepare for Your Test Session

To ensure maximum value from your live cutting demonstration, our technical team recommends assembling the following information:

  • DXF / DWG CAD Files: Representative production parts with typical hole diameters and cut profiles.
  • Material Grade & Surface Condition: Mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminium thickness and sheet mill finish.
  • Production Volumes: Weekly batch sizes to benchmark realistic consumable life and cut cycle speed.
  • Tolerance Expectations: Specific dimensional requirements for secondary assembly or welding.
