ESAB Welding & Cutting Products has launched its HandyPlasma 35i and HandyPlasma 45i manual plasma machines, which feature an advanced LCD interface that simplifies set-up and operation. Users make all adjustments with one knob, viewing process information on a generous 71 mm colour screen. They are optimised for autobody repair and restoration, mobile fabrication, light construction, plumbing and HVAC, metal/building/roofing, maintenance/repair, agricultural and ornamental work.
Both units weigh 13.5 kg, come with a 60-amp torch and 4.5 m cable and use 220V 50/60 Hz input power or a generator with at least 8 kW output. HandyPlasma 35i delivers a 35-amp output at 35 percent duty cycle and has a recommended cut and pierce capacity of 12 mm and a maximum sever of 16 mm. The more powerful HandyPlasma 45i has a 45-amp output at 35 percent duty cycle, a recommended cut and pierce capacity of 16 mm and a maximum sever of 24 mm.
“These powerful HandyPlasma units slice through steel, stainless, aluminum or brass like a hot knife through butter,” says Kris Scherm, Global Manual Plasma Business & Product Director, ESAB. “They deliver a precise cut, make it easy to follow templates, create almost no distortion and can cut through painted, dirty or rusty material with ease.”
HandyPlasma offer two trigger control modes, 2T or 4T. The 2T mode provides standard On/Off trigger control, while 4T locks the trigger to On for extended cuts to facilitate tracing circles with the optional circle cutting attachment.
There are two cutting modes, one for solid plate and one for expanded metal such as grates and fences, as well as a purge mode to clear the air line. Operators use the push-button control knob to select and adjust variables, which are clearly displayed on the LCD. HandyPlasma features automatic, internal regulator controls air flow to the torch, so there is no need to adjust pressure. An easily accessible and replaceable external air filter helps remove the excess moisture and contaminants commonly found in compressed air lines. Also, an automatic system purges the gas after cutting, increasing the useful life of the consumables.
“Workers in these industries told us that they wanted a machine that helped them get the job done quickly,” says Scherm. “The HandyPlasma series offers a unique combination of simplicity, cutting power and lightweight portability.”
