ESAB unveils its new Cutmaster® 50+ and Cutmaster 70+ manual plasma cutting systems. Cutmaster 50+ has a recommended pierce and cut capacity of 16 mm and severs metal up to 32 mm; it has a rated cutting output of 50A at 60% duty cycle and weighs 16 kg. The Cutmaster 70+ has a recommended pierce and cut capacity of 19 mm and severs metal up to 38 mm; it has a rated cutting output of 70A at 60% duty cycle and weighs 16 kg. Both machines use 400V +/- 10% 3ph mains power. It comes with an SL60 1Torch™ with 5.0 m cable.

“The Cutmaster 50+ and Cutmaster 70+ feature our signature 110 mm TFT LCD display, which we paired with a glove-friendly knob for selecting and setting parameters,” says Kris Scherm, Global Product Manager, ESAB. “These machines also offer a built-in 14-pin CPC port for easy CNC mechanization. Smaller fabricators have told us that they want the flexibility to switch between manual and mechanized cutting to maximize utilization of their machines.”

For straight line cutting and gouging applications controlled with a simple start stop switch, the ESAB MechPak includes a 180-degree (“straight”) torch and all required hardware to allow precision setup and control for many semi-automated applications. The MechPak is compatible with all Cutmaster plasma systems with an ATC-style torch connection.

TFT Display
Through the TFT display, Cutmaster 50+ and 70+ users can access, set and see such features as normal and grate cutting mode and 2T (standard) or 4T (“trigger latch”) mode. The 4T mode allows the operator to press and release the trigger and cut without holding the trigger, reducing hand fatigue on long cuts. The torch also features a “double-tap” trigger; tapping the trigger twice shuts the gas solenoid valve, extending the cutting time when using small portable cylinders of compressed air or nitrogen. Other features include automatic inlet/outlet air pressure detection, automatic post-cut air purge to extend consumables life and an automatic voltage detection function, which sets maximum output amperage based on primary power, optimizing cutting performance.

With their three-handle design, all machines in the Cutmaster “+” series provide portability, protection and convenient cable organization. Their IP23S housing handles rugged environments, making the machines suitable for industrial and general fabrication, light fabrication, industrial production and manufacturing, automotive bodies, agricultural equipment, HVAC, repair/maintenance, pipeline, and training schools.
