ESAB is promoting its Cutmaster portable air plasma cutting systems that range in output from 20 to 120A and produce a recommended 'quality' cut on material from 6-40mm. ESAB says its Cutmaster plasma cutters are among the lightest and most compact in the industry, making them highly portable and easy to store.
With ESAB Cutmaster products, the recommended cut capacity equals the system's true cut capacity. A recommended cut has a smooth cut face with little or no dross and requires little or no rework or grinding, all of which improve productivity and quality. ESAB Cutmaster products provide additional output when needed, offering a maximum cut thickness that ranges from 60 to 150 per cent greater than the recommended cut. As a result, they eliminate the concept of having to 'buy up' by purchasing a machine larger than the end user normally needs.
Four products in the ESAB Cutmaster Series (the 60, 80, 100 and 120) share common features. These include a tubular 'roll bar' that protect the front and rear of the power supply for durability, as well as making the unit easier to carry. A trigger latch feature helps to avoid hand fatigue during longer cuts, as it allows the operator to release the trigger while the system keeps cutting. Colour-coded LEDs on the front panel indicate pressure status and setup errors. The Auto Pilot Restart feature instantly reignites the pilot arc while cutting expanded metals such as grates and chain link fences. Each unit comes standard with the 1Torch (6.1 or 15.2m cable options), but they also accept mechanised and automated torches. Primary power options are 50/60Hz, 400V, three-phase CE unit.
