3 Plasma Cutting What is plasma cutting? Plasma is an ionized gas that is electrically conductive giving you the ability to cut most commercial metals available. The intense high temperature of the arc, which is 25,000 degrees C, (5 times hotter than the sun) gives you the ability to cut metals faster, cleaner and more economical over the traditional cutting methods. The benefits of plasma cutting - Faster cutting speeds, superior cut quality and better efficiency - No preheating the work piece resulting in higher productivity and less heat distortion on thinner metals - Maximum portability allowing you to travel from the shop to the job site with ease - Gouging defective welds on mild steel to cutting aluminum or stainless steel, The PowerCut series gives you the versatility needed to tackle any job Recommended cutting and gouging gases Why use gases when compressed air is cheaper? The ESAB PowerCut series is designed to give you the maximum performance in the most economical way possible. That s why Compressed air or Nitrogen are the only gasses recommended to use with these systems. Plasma Gouging The ESAB PowerCut series makes gouging applications easy to accomplish with very little set-up involved. Adjusting the air pressure and changing to the appropriate nozzle, the PowerCut systems are ready to handle all your gouging needs. Plasma Gouging can be very useful when needing to: - Remove weld defects - Back gouging and weld preparation - Removal of hard-facing - General removal of metal for repairs Plasma gouging vs. carbon arc gouging By using ESAB PowerCut series for plasma gouging one can also replace operations such as air carbon-arc gouging, grinding chippers, etc. There are many places such capability can be used, but the removal of welds in repair work is the most obvious. When used in place of carbon-arc gouging, using the PowerCut systems for gouging gives better gouge quality, easier metal removal, better control, less fume and less noise.

They also make plasma cutting easier and more economical delivering reliability, high production, and a wide variety of performance features.

4 Powerful. Durable. Simple. The PowerCut plasma cutting package will take whatever you throw at it, and ask for more. Designed with ESAB Plasmarc technology, PowerCut machines are more powerful and durable than any other machine in their class. They also make plasma cutting easier and more economical delivering reliability, high production, and a wide variety of performance features. With design features that simplify operation, reduce set-up time, and enhance consumable life, PowerCut packages let you spend less time troubleshooting and more time cutting. PowerCut gives you: - Powerful performance PowerCut offers the highest speeds and thickness capabilities in its price class, as well as high duty cycle ratings, for outstanding productivity and performance. - Powerful economy through a combination of long part life, high speeds, and simple torch design, the PowerCut series offers low cost per meter of cut of any machine in its price class. - Powerful durability these robust cutters stand up to rugged treatment and outdoor use, plus cut up to 38 mm metal with ease. - Powerful ease of operation with features such as the tool-less quick disconnect torch and a digital display, the PowerCut family is easy to set up and operate, increasing productivity and reducing downtime. PowerCut features: - Rugged design PowerCut external housing design is durable, damage-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and weather-resistant, while remaining lightweight for portability. - Tool-less quick disconnect torch disconnects from the machine without the use of wrenches or special tools. Now you can easily disconnect your PT-38 or PT-39 torch for storage, repairs, or replacement, or to attach a PT- 37 mechanized torch for mechanized applications. Not available on PowerCut Blowback technology has no high-frequency that can disrupt CNC controls and nearby computer systems. - Auto-modes (gouge, grate, and normal modes) switch between modes automatically, tailoring your application without manually changing settings on the power source (900 and 1600 models only).

5 - Suspended electronics sensitive internal electronics are suspended from the frame, insulating them from shock and vibration. - Gouging capability PowerCut 900 and 1600 deliver the extra output voltage needed for superior plasma gouging capability. - Trigger lock A trigger lock function allows long cuts without pressing torch trigger continuously. Not available on PowerCut Automatic fan control the cooling fan is automatically controlled to run only when necessary, to conserve energy and reduce ingested dust and dirt. - Built-in power line conditioner protects against damage from power line noise and spikes, even with poor-quality power. - Torch wrap and spare parts kit the holder lets you neatly fold up excess torch cables and has a convenient storage space for the spare parts kit. Torch wrap is not available on PowerCut 400 or Plug-n-play mechanized option lets you easily transform your manual cutting system into a powerful mechanized system for your gantry machine. Not available on PowerCut Digital readout display easy to read and shows the exact pressure or amperage, so you can operate with confidence. The display also shows help codes to assist in troubleshooting minor errors, reducing downtime (900 and 1600 models only).
