In addition to a classic rotary knob for the compressed air, the control panel also has a digital menu where you can adjust all other parameters of the plasma cutter. The selected air pressure is clearly displayed on the pressure gauge, and the current strength can be precisely adjusted using the LED display. In addition, you can select 2-stroke or 4-stroke mode and control the gas flow by pushing the appropriate buttons.
Show more Show lessFor plasma cutting with air pressure, you can choose a cutting current of up to 40 A. With a duty cycle of 60 percent, the welding current has a maximum performance of 40 A. If you turn the power down to 34 A, then you can weld without interruption. The long duty cycle is made possible by the device's optimum cooling system.
Show more Show lessDepending on the metal, a cutting depth of 12 mm is possible. The 5.8 m long cable of the high-quality Trafimet S45 torch allows maximum freedom of movement during joint cutting such as metal cutting. With a working pressure of 3 to 4 bar, the cutting torch provides a consistent arc to reliably cut metal. You can choose the external compressor depending on the requirements and circumstances. Thus, the device proves to be very flexible and easy to transport.
Show more Show lessThe plasma cutter's arc is ignited by the contactless pilot arc. This enables you to cut metal mesh without the arc losing consistency or needing to be reignited. Once the cutting process is ended, the gas post-flow time ensures optimum cooling for the nozzle and minimizes oxidization. You can set the post-flow time exactly to between 0 and 50 seconds, depending on your needs.
Show more Show lessThe device is equipped with an overheat protection which is displayed on an LED diode. The protective function switches off the device if a malfunction occurs and the heat increases sharply. It is also activated when the duty cycle for the selected amperage is exceeded. The diode will light up and the plasma cutter will turn off. In both cases, the air cooling remains active. Once the device reaches a normal operating temperature, you can continue cutting your metal.
Show more Show lessAlthough it's advisable to use a welding cart for transporting the device, the plasma cutter does have a practical handle with which it can be easily moved.
- Duty cycle of 60% at 40 A
- Modern digital menu navigation
- Easily switch between 2- and 4-stroke modes

IGBT = insulated-gate bipolar transistor. IGBT is a bipolar transistor with an insulated gate electrode. This semi-conducting device is being increasingly used in power electronics because it combines the advantages of two transistor types: the easy controls of the field effect transistor and the fast switching and high breakdown voltage of the bipolar transistor. The IGBT also offers some robustness against short circuits because it limits the electrical continuity. IGBTs are a further development of MOSFET technology.
Show moreShow lessFor plasma cutting, a gas is required with which the molten metal is blown away from the work surface. Compressed air is a common solution for this. For this purpose, the plasma cutter has a compressor connection.
Show moreShow lessOn the back of every welding machine is a screw with an earthing mark. Before use, earth the unit via a cross-section cable, which must be at least 6 mm².
This device works with a 1-phase connection (230 V +/- 10 %).
The time after the weld is finished in which gas continues to flow from the torch; this cools the burner and protects the weld from oxidation.
Start the weld by placing pressure on the torch button. Stop the process by releasing the button.
By pressing the torch button the solenoid valve opens. allowing the gas to flow in. The gas pre-flow ignites the arc at the pre-set current. Releasing the burner button initiates a rise in the current to that of the pre-set welding current. The welding process stops once you press the burner button again.
Show moreShow lessThe plasma arc melts the metal and the kinetic energy of the compressed air blows the metal aside.
Choose between the 2T and 4T mode.
Shows the welding / cutting parameters.
The LED light indicates overheating or a malfunction.
Shows the value of compressed air the compressor delivers to the plasma cutter. The plasma cutter has a pressure reducing valve which regulates the air pressure.
A pilot arc is ignited by pressing the torch's trigger. Thus, grates can be cut.
