Portable plasma cutter
WELDING and cutting technology firm
ESAB has launched the PowerCut TM
700 portable plasma cutting package,
suitable for use on all electrically
conductive materials in production,
assembly, repair and maintenance
applications.
Well balanced and with a convenient,
comfortable carrying handle, the
PowerCut 700 can be carried easily from
one work site to the next, or to exactly
where it is needed in the workshop.
However, the machine can also be
fitted with a CNC interface so that it
can be connected directly to a cutting
table.
Its compact dimensions (559 x 211
x 381mm) and light weight (21.3kg,
including the torch) mean that the
PowerCut 700 is portable.
The PowerCut 700 can also be
powered from engine-driven welders
when working remotely without access
to a mains power supply. The maximum
material thickness that can be cut is
15mm for a high-quality cut or 20mm
when the finish and speed is less
important.
The Dynamic Arc Control controls the
pilot arc when cutting grate or mesh for
continuous operation without any arc
outages.
To enhance the cut quality and
improve the ease of use, particularly
when operatives are inexperienced,
the PowerCut 700 has been designed
for drag cutting along straight edges
or around templates. Another user-
friendly feature is the Voltage Booster,
which helps to achieve drop cuts on
thicker plates.
Each PowerCut 700 is supplied
with a PT-39 plasma torch and a kit of
wear parts. The PT-39 torch has been
designed to be compact, lightweight
and ergonomic, with a comfortable grip
and compact head that provides better
arc visibility.
For connecting the PowerCut 700 to
a table for CNC cutting applications,
ESAB offers an interface kit that includes
a PCB, cable harness and connector.
