Plasma profiler offers high performance

It offers a wide range of functions, including marking and labelling, while new cutting torch features have widened the scope of applications and improved cutting quality. The latest PT-36 plasma torch can replace up to three single-purpose torches and consumes fewer wear parts. It enables the m3 plasma to carry out high-quality precision cutting and marking of thick plate. The torch can handle cuts of the widest variety of geometrical shapes, bevel cutting of 0 to +/- 45°, as well as the most common marking and labelling tasks. The cutting thickness depends on the m3 plasma™ power source used, and ranges between 2 and 60 mm in constructional steel, stainless steel and aluminium. As an option, the PT-36 plasma torch can now be upgraded for cuts up to 150 mm in stainless steel and aluminium. The m3 plasma system also uses ESAB's so-called shield gas technology, in which a secondary gas, such as oxygen or nitrogen, is used alongside the plasma gas, circulating around the arc and providing it with a protective, stabilising shell. The result is an exceptionally fine, accurate arc that has greater density and stability in comparison to conventional processes. This leads to higher cutting speeds, more precise cut edges and high quality cut surfaces.
