New Cutmaster® black series plasma cutting consumables last 60% longer, help cut 16.6% thicker metal

ESAB has launched its new Cutmaster® Black Series of enhanced performance plasma cutting consumables, which extend operating life by 60% compared with standard life electrodes. They are featured on the SL60QD™ 1Torch®, which comes with the Cutmaster 60i handheld air plasma cutting system. Coupled with internal enhancements on the Cutmaster 60i, the new electrode design increases the unit’s rated cut and piercing capacity to 20mm, a 16.6% improvement. The Cutmaster 60i can sever metal up to 38mm.

“The Cutmaster 60i already offered the best power-to-weight ratio on the market. With the Cutmaster Black Series consumables, this 60-amp unit is even more of a cutting beast,” says Kris Scherm, global manual plasma business & product director, ESAB.

Mechanised Torch Option

For users who want to connect a Cutmaster 60i to a cutting table for semi-automated air plasma cutting, ESAB now offers the MechPak mechanised package. MechPak comes with an SL100 mechanised 1Torch, remote pendant, lead with ATC® Torch Connection and consumables.

“The MechPak features a power connector for a start/stop trigger integrated with the ATC Torch Connection,” says Scherm. “Typically applications would include pairing the Cutmaster 60i and MechPak with an ESAB Miggytrac™ or Railtrac™ tractor for semi-automatic cutting, bevelling or plasma gouging.”
