Plasma cutter with CNC plasma cutting torch
The plasma cutter S-PLASMA 85CNC from Stamos Germany is specially designed for professional use with CNC machines. It offers high-quality plasma technology in conjunction with functionality that is convincing in trade and industry. The plasma cutter impresses with special features such as a powder-coated sheet steel housing, high efficiency and first-class cutting quality.
The cutting current reaches 85 amps at its peak, which is achieved with a duty cycle of 60 percent. With a duty cycle of 100 percent, a high 65.8 amps are still possible. These performance values are sufficient to cut workpieces up to 27 millimetres thick. Cutting and quality cuts are no problem thanks to the high cutting speed and flash-start function. The professional plasma cutter S-PLASMA 85CNC offers you a wide range of features and outstanding characteristics that make it perfect for use in various CNC applications.
The Stamos tool offers two different working modes so that maximum progress can be achieved with every task. In 2-stroke mode, the torch will run for as long as the power switch is pressed. In 4-stroke mode, a single tap is sufficient to activate the burner and another tap to switch it off. This mode provides countless advantages for continuous operation. The handle position on the torch can be varied during work to reduce fatigue and physical strain.
The Stamos plasma cutter works with three-phase alternating current at an operating voltage of 400 V. Due to the modern design inside the CNC plasma cutter, disturbances such as interference of the high-frequency high-pressure arc are avoided or reduced. For this reason, this plasma cutter is particularly impressive in combination with a CNC machine and thus forms the perfect synergy.
The torch is ignited via a pilot plasma arc. The compressed air for plasma cutting is set via a pressure reducer. Select the external compressor according to requirements and conditions. This makes the unit very flexible and easy to transport. To prevent oxidation or deformation on the workpiece after a cut, the air supply continues for a definable period of time. The run-on time can be set between 2 and 15 s directly on the power unit.
The air is also cooled by the post-flow of the burner to avoid the risk of damage. The base unit is also equipped with a powerful fan cooling system to prevent overheating. However, if the operating temperature does experience a sudden increase, it will trigger the overheat protection.
Problems with the operating temperature as well as other malfunctions are indicated by an LED on the control unit. The LED display for the cutting current and the cutting current controller are also located in this clearly visible space on the front of the unit. The cutting current can reach between 20 and 85 amps and is thus well above the performance data of the competition. With a product weight of 20 kilograms, the plasma cutter has sufficient mass to maintain safe footing even in a rugged working environment.
