AirForce™ 250ci - Hobart - #1

Text version of the page

AirForce™ 250ci Portable Air Plasma Cutter Need to cut steel? Thinking about an oxy acetylene cutting torch to do the job? Consider a plasma cutter. This simple technology uses an electrical arc and compressed air to cut steel, aluminum, and other conductive metals. Designed to cut up to 1/4 inch mild steel, the AirForce™ 250ci is powered by standard household voltage (115 VAC). A built-in air compressor and lightweight inverter power supply make this plasma cutter the most convenient, totally portable cutting system available. The AirForce™ 250ci excels at cutting sheet metal and 1/8 inch mild steel, and can even sever 1/4 inch steel. Compared to the complexities of an oxy fuel cutting torch system, plasma cutting is easy: Cuts faster than oxy fuel More precise cut, thinner kerf, less slag to clean up Smaller heat-affected zone for less warping No gas pressure settings or flame tuning needed No preheating of metal prior to cutting No pressurized gas cylinders to transport No worries about running out of gas on the job No expense for gas refills... ever The AirForce™ 250ci comes ready to cut out of the box, with extra replacement tips and a convenient cable management strap for easy transportation. Just pull the trigger and cut. Comes Complete With: HP-25 16.4 ft (5 m) hand-held torch Heavy-duty work clamp with 16.4 ft (5 m) cable 7 ft (2.1 m) power cord with 115 VAC plug Extra consumables (2 tips, 2 electrodes) Applications Sheet metal HVAC duct work Auto body repair Home hobby Plumbing PROCESS Air Plasma Cutting Rated Output 12 Amps at 110 VDC, 35% Duty Cycle Max.

FEATURES BENEFITS Powerful cutting ability at half the weight of prior model (AirForce 250A.) Weighs only 27 lbs. Internal piston-driven air compressor makes the system highly portable. No additional compressor to purchase or transport. Pressure is preset… ready to cut, right out of the box. The new HP-25 torch is designed for increased comfort, more efficient cooling and economical replacement cutting tips. Runs on standard household power. No need for 230 volt hookup by utility company. Cools the torch and tip after cutting, extending life of replaceable tip and electrode. Runs only when needed reducing dust/debris pulled into unit. Ensures consistent arc starts prior to each cut, minimizes tip burnout. LED lights indicate system status for power, temperature, and torch readiness eliminating unnecessary downtime. Built to withstand tough working environments. Rated for 35% duty cycle at 104° Fahrenheit. Duty cycle will increase as environmental temperature decreases. Secures torch, work cable and power cord to make transporting easy and convenient. No other manufacturer offers a better warranty than Hobart. Power source is warranted for three years, parts and labor. Original rectifier parts have a five-year warranty and the HP-25 torches have a one-year parts and labor warranty.
