Plasma

What is plasma-cutting technology?

Plasma cutting is a process that uses a high velocity jet of ionized gas that is delivered from a constricting orifice. The high velocity ionized gas, that is, the plasma, conducts electricity from the torch of the plasma cutter to the work piece. The plasma heats the work piece, melting the material. The high velocity stream of ionized gas mechanically blows the molten metal away, severing the material.

Powermax105 - With the maximum power and performance for air plasma in our line, the Powermax105 delivers superior cut quality and piercing up to 22 mm (7/8"). It has the duty cycle and reliability for the most demanding cutting and gouging jobs. Seven Duramax torch styles provide greater versatility for hand cutting, portable automation, x-y table cutting, and gouging. Smart Sense™ technology automatically adjusts the gas pressure according to cutting mode and torch lead length. It also detects electrode end-of-life, automatically turning off power to the torch to prevent potential damage to other parts or the work piece.

The Spirit® II Series plasma systems feature the unique FineLine™ High Definition Plasma Cutting Technology that delivers unequaled performance in cut quality at lower operational costs. We provide the best cut quality over consumable life by achieving the least part taper over the life of an electrode. When FineLine cutting technology is paired with our proprietary UltraSharp™ Hole Technology you also get the best hole quality in the industry.

• Impulse Start Technology™
  Eliminates high frequency starting.
• Unmatched Cut Quality and Consistency
  Delivers exceptional cut edge quality, virtually dross free, with bevels of 2° or less. Advanced Torch technology for a stable plasma column and optimized plasma gas flow.
• Longer Unparalleled Consumable Life
  Hafnium Optimizing Technology (Hf OT™) significantly increases electrode life. EnduraX™ Silver Electrode provides up to 3 times the life of an Endura™ electrode.
• Lower Operating Costs
  Uses up to 78% less plasma gas than competition. That is an average of 48% across all ranges and 38% average on
the high amperage range (200A to 400A). Advanced technology, high efficiency chopper-stabilized current output.
• Higher Reliability
  400 ampere IGBT chopper transistor for high reliability. Industry leading 3 year warranty on machine, 1 year on original torch. Multi-Tap Transformer and Common Chopper Platform are standard on all systems.

Mild Steel Production Capacity	Maximum Thickness (Edge Start, with dross)
1-¼ (32.0mm)	2-½ (65.0mm)
*Lower Proline amperages available.

The ProLine 2260 offers expanded thickness capability and optimized cutting speeds, and is the highest amperage precision high current density plasma cutting system in the ProLine family. This manually controlled 275 amp system can cut most metals up to 1 ¼'' (32.0mm) thick, and has a maximum capacity of 2 ½'' (65.0mm). Uncompromising precision cut quality, combined with excellent processing speed and low initial investment, equates to the lowest possible cost to produce quality finished parts.

The ProLine 2260 is one of the three systems in the KALIBURN "ProLine" family. The ProLine 2150 and ProLine 2200 Plasma Cutting Systems offer identical cut quality but each has a unique amperage range and corresponding thickness capacity.

Plasma cutting has long been seen as a low cost alternative to oxy-fuel and laser. Recent developments in the high precision / Fine Line plasma process have significantly improved the quality and capabilities of plasma cutting, making it a more versatile and accurate option than ever before.
