PT-36 / PT-36R Plasmarc Mechanized Cutting Torches

As part of ESAB’s m3 plasma system, the PT-36 forms the business end of the most advanced plasma cutting system available.

The rugged, reliable, PT-36 torch replaces up to three single-purpose torches (heavy plate cutting, precision cutting and marking). The end result: superior cutting functionality and productivity over a wide range of materials and thicknesses, with minimal set up time, downtime and consumable cost.

No other system offers the reliability, economy and productivity of the m3 plasma system.

Highlights

Precision

• High precision torch for longer consumable life and better cut quality
• Precision close tolerance concentricity for optimum straight or bevel cutting, with highest cut quality and consumable life
• Patented Posi-Thread design makes it easier to install consumables, and eliminates the worry of damaged threads on electrode, electrode holder, and torch body

Versatility

• Extremely versatile multi-gas torch, allows you to pick the combination of gases, speed, and cut quality that you want
• Oxygen, Nitrogen, Air or H-35 plasma gas; Nitrogen, Air or H-35 start gas; Nitrogen, Oxygen/Nitrogen mix, Air, or Methane shield gas, dry cutting or water injection plasma cutting
• Low current micro-nozzle cutting, precision plasma cutting, 600A thick plate cutting, and 720A water injection cutting, all with the same torch.
• Cut and mark with the same consumables
• Cuts carbon steel up to 3 in. thick with 450A Oxygen Plasma
• Cuts stainless steel or aluminum up to 2 in. thick with 600A Nitrogen Plasma, or up to 6 in. thick with 600A Argon-Hydrogen (H-35)
• Cuts stainless steel or aluminum up to 3 in. thick with 720A water injection / Nitrogen plasma

Value

• A smaller, less expensive electrode lowers operating cost
• Requires fewer parts to purchase and stock
• Current capacity of 720A at 100% duty cycle
• “Speed-Loader” aids in consumable changes without the worries and leaks caused by o-rings, or the expense of spare torch bodies.
• Does not require expensive water chiller for cooling water, which reduces power and maintenance costs
• High quality / low cost stainless steel cutting using water injection
