We have a Cr Plasma table that we are looking to get rid of and would be appreciative of any advice on what it is worth. Its a 2003 Model HD-6-20.Its in great shape and not used a lot that's why it must go. That you in advance for your help.

A few pictures, at least the basic specs, with or without plasma machine, or a link to their web site etc. etc. might help get you a reply.

The CR machines were made in Italy, most had their own cnc controller with some software compatibility issues with normal CAM nesting software packages. Most had Hypertherm plasma systems installed. CR went belly up a few years ago. There is a company in Cleveland, Cutting Systems Inc., that was involved with their US distribution...and probably has the best information regarding the serviceability / use of the machines.

We are starting to retrofit CR machines in the US. We replace the CNC and Drives with new ones that are supportable and work with most Cad/Cam software.
As for their value, they are not worth a lot. The CNC boards are not available and the drives/gearboxes can take up to 6-8 weeks to get from the origional Italian manufacturers.
The software mostly runs on Windows ME.
I assume the plasma is a Hypertherm HD-1070/3070? There are lots of them around the surplus market dur to HPR upgrades.

So that said it may be worth more to someone who already owns one.
If you got someone to offer you $5-10k jump at it.
Good Luck,
