Hydrostatic Testing Device

T echnology U pdate Plasma cutter with in-built air compressor GYS Ltd, a welding equipment and battery charger manufacturer, has launched the 21KF lightweight, single phase 230V plasma cutter. It features an in-built 60/70dB air compressor and de-humidifier, making it suitable for use in workshops and on-site in agricultural, construction, quarrying and engineering applications, where compressed air supply may not be available. Utilising inverter technology, it is designed to cut at up to 20A using a 13A fuse plug, producing low intensity quality cuts on 6mm thick steel, stainless steel and cast iron sheets as well as on 4mm aluminium and copper sheets, including on painted surfaces, without any distortion. The GYS ‘Pilot Arc’ system enables the arc to start without any contact with the sheet being cut, making it easy to use. Starting without any HF avoids electromagnetic interference (phones, computers radios, etc). Other features include a 4m air cooled torch with a safety trigger to avoid accidental starting of the unit, reinforced protection for use with a generator, over voltage tested up to 400V, and IP23 protection against rain and dust impregnation. Options include a Compass kit for circular cutting up to 134cm diameter, and a wheeled trolley to optimise the cutting distance between the work surface and the torch nozzle.
