Plasma cutter with high power-to-weight ratio THE new Cutmaster 60i air plasma cutting system from ESAB Welding & Cutting Products is a three-phase, 400V unit that provides a rated output of 7.6 kW at 50 per cent duty cycle at 60A. It produces a recommended cut of 16mm and has a maximum sever thickness of 38mm. Michelle Chamberlain, director – global manual plasma product development, ESAB. “Users will immediately notice the over-sized, high-visibility LED display which communicates more information, more clearly, at a glance and from a distance. The display intuitively and instantly provides the necessary feedback to optimise parameter settings and cut quality.” The unit’s ability to hold a longer arc helps when cutting in awkward positions. gas delivery pressure to their liking. When users set amperage, mode of operation and torch type, and add torch lengths to extend cutting reach, the machine uses its colour display to provide recommended gas pressure settings, which ensures optimum cutting performance. “We have designed the Cutmaster 60i so that it provides the industry’s highest power-to-weight ratio in its class,” said

“Incorrect gas pressure is a common source of poor cutting performance, and the gas optimiser provides users with the guidance to overcome this issue,” said Ms Chamberlain. Similarly, a parts end-of-life indicator on the front panel informs users when it is time to change consumables. The front panel also communicates system information such as failing to fully tighten the shield cup Instead of a single handle or a roll cage, Cutmaster 60i features an integral four- handle design that makes it easier to lift the unit in and out of storage spaces and carry it around job sites.

The Cutmaster 60i system includes the new SL60QD™ 1Torch, which offers a quick disconnect feature enabling selective replacement of either the torch handle assembly or torch leads at a lower cost than replacing both together – a necessity with one-piece torch/lead assemblies. As part of the 1Torch family with patented SureLok ® technology, wear parts are readily available. The gas optimiser technology helps ensure cut quality and performance by precisely regulating air pressure, while also allowing users to manually adjust
