While there are several factors that influence operating


costs in plasma cutting, most people agree that
replacement costs for torch wear parts play a major
role. ESAB put operation costs to the test using the
PowerCutTM-1250, the newest machine in this
outstanding line of plasma cutters. See why – as
shown in the chart below – ESAB’s PowerCut 1250
PlasmarcTM machine had less than half the
consumable costs per foot cut than even its
closest competition.

PROCESS DESCRIPTION

Plasmarc™ Technology From the Originators


Plasma Arc Modes
Since we developed the Plasmarc process in 1957, we have
introduced a number of innovations to ensure peak performance in
plasma cutting and gouging. Today ESAB’s Plasmarc product line
includes a full range of systems designed to meet your specific needs
and applications. From compact, portable packages to heavy duty

Plasmarc
Cutting
industrial systems, our machines offer cutting capacities from 1/8 in.
(3.18 mm) to 4 in (101.6 mm).
With their advanced inverter technology, ESAB’s portable and
transportable machines provide all the cutting power that normally
requires larger, heavyweight consoles. The versatile Deuce Pack 150
system offers 300 amps of heavy duty cutting and gouging power for
a variety of industrial applications—plus it can be separated into two
150 amp consoles for smaller scale operations. Also available are a
variety of advanced ESP (ESAB Smart Plasma) heavy mechanized
systems for high quality cutting in automation situations.
ESAB’s commitment to plasma performance is carried through in
the top quality and innovation of the Plasmarc torches and
consumables. From the innovative PT-31XL, the most compact 50
amp torch available on the market with the capacity to cut up to 1 in.
(25.4 mm), to the PT-26, with a 4 in. (101.6 mm) cutting capacity with Plasma Arc
Air, N2 or H-35, our complete line of torches is designed for superior Cutting
cut quality and maximum operator comfort. ESAB’s patented XT tips
boost performance and extend consumable life.
Plasmarc gouging outperforms more conventional gouging
methods. Because it produces substantially less smoke and fumes, it
significantly decreases operator exposure to air contaminants. In
addition, Plasmarc gouging is faster, cleaner, less expensive and
more accurate.
Process Description
In our patented Plasmarc process, an electrode is built into the
torch nozzle, which has an arc constricting orifice. Plasma gas,
usually air, is fed through the nozzle where it is heated to the plasma
temperature range—as high as 50,000° F. The plasma arc that Plasma Arc
emerges from the orifice is hot enough to melt any metal. Gouging
Because Plasmarc cutting is a relatively simple operation, it is widely
accepted for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The plasma arc’s
straight, narrow, column-like shape and high current density allow the
operator to achieve cut consistency without maintaining a constant
distance between the nozzle and the workpiece.
Plasmarc gouging is a variation of the Plasmarc cutting process.
The torch nozzle configuration is designed to produce a lower
velocity, broader arc. Rather than cutting completely through the Plasma Arc Cutting
metal, the torch is held at an angle so the arc gouges a U-shaped
groove in the metal.

IMPORTANT
Product Safety—Sound common sense procedures must be
followed for personal protection and operating efficiency when
using plasma arc welding and cutting equipment. Always comply
with the manufacturer’s recommendations for operating and
maintaining the equipment as set forth in the instructions provided
with each unit. Also, be certain to use all applicable safety
precautions as described in Precautions and Safe Practices for Arc
Welding, Cutting and Gouging, F-52-529, which is available from
your local ESAB welding products distributor or sales office.

Recommended Cutting Gases


Compressed Air is the most commonly used gas for
lower current plasma cutting and works well for most
metals from gauge thickness to 1 in. (25.4 mm). It leaves
an oxidized cut surface. Compressed air can also be
used for plasma gouging on carbon steel.

Plasmarc
Nitrogen is often used for higher current plasma systems

Cutting
and for cutting materials up to 3 in. (76.2 mm) thick. It
produces excellent quality cuts on most materials.
Oxygen is used when the highest quality mechanized
cuts are desired on carbon steel up to 1 -1/4 in. (31.75
mm) thick. The cut face is smooth, and dross is easy to
remove. Oxygen can also be used on stainless steel and
aluminum, but it produces a rougher cut face.
Argon-Hydrogen Mixtures are generally used for cutting
stainless steel and aluminum. They produce a clean,
high quality cut face. Argon-Hydrogen is required for
mechanized cutting of any material more than 3 in. (76.2
mm) thick. This mixture also provides an excellent gas for
plasma gouging on all materials.

PT-600 PLASMARC ™
MECHANIZED CUTTING TORCH

PT-600 PlasmarcTM
Mechanized Cutting Torch

Precision
The PT-600 Mechanized Plasma Cutting Torch is the latest
Plasmarc
Cutting

development in high-current plasma cutting from ESAB, the


first name in plasma. The PT-600 torch is precision
engineered for close tolerance concentricity, making it
ideal for straight or bevel cutting, and providing the highest
possible cut quality and consumable life.

Versatility
The PT-600 is an extremely versatile dual-gas torch, allowing you
to pick the combination of gases, speed, and cut quality that you
want. It can use O2, N2, Air or H-35 for plasma gas; N2, Air or H-35
for start gas; and N2 or Air for secondary shield gas.

Power
The PT-600 has a current capacity of 600 Amps at 100%
duty cycle. It can cut carbon steel up to 1.5 in. (38 mm) thick
using 400 Amp Oxygen Plasma, and stainless steel or
aluminum up to 3 in. (75 mm) thick using 600 Amp Nitrogen
Plasma. When combined with ESAB’s Smart Flow II
electronic proportional valve flow control system, the
PT-600 forms the business end of the most advanced
plasma cutting system available.
