According to ESAB, the iSeries delivers ISO Class 3 or better cuts, reducing bevel and the need for post-cut finishing.
The water-mist secondary (WMS) process, which incorporates nitrogen as the plasma gas and ordinary tap water for shielding, is said to produce superior cut quality and a lower cost per cut on non-ferrous materials. On stainless steel, the WMS process cuts up to 300% faster and lowers cost-per cut by 20% or more, compared with systems that use argon-hydrogen, says the company.
