Cutting on the move

ESAB has added new models to its PowerCut line of manual cutting packages. The lightweight portable PowerCut 900 and 1600 packages are designed to make cutting easier and more economical.

Through their long parts life, high speeds and simple torch design, the packages are believed to give the lowest cost per metre of cut of any machine in their price class.

The power source is contained within a durable external housing which is corrosion and weather resistant. Sensitive internal electronics are suspended from the aluminium frame and insulated from shock and vibration. Silicone sealed switches are immune to corrosion and dust/dirt infiltration.

A torch disconnects from the machine simply, allowing easy dismantling for storage, repairs or replacement by a mechanised torch.

A digital readout shows the exact pressure or amperage, as well as help codes to assist in troubleshooting.

Blow back technology eliminates high frequency start-ups that can disrupt CNC controls and nearby computer systems.
