Plasma cutter
31 July 2013
ESAB's new PowerCut 700 portable plasma cutting package is suitable for use on all electrically conductive materials in production, assembly, repair and maintenance applications.

Compact dimensions (559 x 21 1x 381mm), low weight (21.3kg including torch) and convenient carrying handle mean it can be carried easily from one work site to the next. The machine can also be fitted with a CNC interface so that it can be connected directly to a cutting table.
It can 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 cut quality and aid use, the PowerCut 700 has been designed for drag cutting along straight edges or around templates. Another user-friendly feature is the Voltage Booster that 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. For connecting to a table for CNC cutting applications, ESAB offers an interface kit that includes a PCB, cable harness and connector.
