Plasma cutter with built-in air compressor

Alightweight, single-phase 230V plasma cutter - 21KF - with in-built 60/70dB air compressor and de-humidifier, has been introduced by GYS. It is suitable for use in workshops and on-site in engineering, agricultural, construction and quarrying applications, where no compressed air supply may be available.

Using 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 painted surfaces, without any distortion.

The GYS Pilot Arc system enables the arc to start without any contact with the sheet being cut. Starting without any HF avoids any electromagnetic interference.

Other features include a 4m air cooled torch with a safety trigger to avoid accidental starting of the unit, re-inforced protection for use with a generator, over voltage tested to 400V and there is IP23 protection against rain and dust impregnation.

Options include a Compass kit for circular cutting up to 134cm diameter and a wheeled trolley.
