Handheld air plasma cutting system
23 January 2018
ESAB Welding & Cutting Products has introduced the Cutmaster 60i handheld air plasma cutting system.

Cutmaster 60i is a 3-phase, 400V units that weighs 16.8 kg and provides a rated output of 7.6 kW at 50 percent duty cycle at 60A. It produces a recommended cut of 16 mm, has a maximum sever thickness of 38 mm, and provides the fastest cut speed at any thickness material for its class.
“We have designed the Cutmaster 60i so that it provides the industry’s highest power-to-weight ratio in its class,” says 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. It also has a best-in-class ability to hold a longer arc, which especially helps when cutting in awkward positions and for ease-of-use when gouging. Overall, Cutmaster 60i produces the most empowering user experience around, no matter the application.”
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 time-tested 1Torch family with patented SureLok technology, wear parts are readily available. Cost of ownership is reduced by minimizing the number of wear parts required in inventory, as well as the fewest number of wear parts to replace, facilitating quick changeover at a lower cost.
