AirForce™ 700i - Hobart - #1

Text version of the page

AirForce™ 700i 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. The new AirForce™ 700i plasma cutter features an inverter design that is both lightweight and powerful. The product also features an ergonomic trigger safety, more efficient air consumption, and economically priced consumables from a new HP-70 torch. The 700i requires 230 V/50 A input power and compressed air delivery of at least 4.8 scfm @ 90 –120 psi. Maximum cutting of mild steel is 7/8 inch at 50% duty cycle for heavy duty production requirements. 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 Comes Complete with HP-70 hand-held torch with 16.5 ft. (5 m) Work clamp with 16.5 ft. (5 m) cable Extra consumables (2 electrodes, 2 tips and 1 air fitting) 10 ft. (3 m) industrial power cord with 6-50P plug Applications Maintenance Prototyping Light construction Body shops/fabrication PROCESS Air Plasma Cutting Rated Output 40 A at 140 VDC, 50% Duty Cycle Max.

(16.2 kg) SPECIFICATIONS (SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.) FEATURES BENEFITS Prevents abrasive dust and particles from damaging internal components. Cooling system only operates when needed. In dirty or dusty environments, this feature reduces the amount of airborne dust/dirt pulled through the unit. Draws up to 30% less amperage for the same cutting range as compared to the competition. PFC expands operators work area via extension cord, while minimizing nuisance circuit breaker trips caused by voltage drops. Provides added protection during transportation. Standard air connection on back provides easy gas or air hookup. Provides peak performance power under variable input voltage conditions (±15%) for steady and cleaner ending cuts. Will not interfere with or damage controls or computers. Diagnostic lights for quick troubleshooting of pressure, power, and cup situations. Secures torch, work cable and power cord to make transporting easy and convenient. The new HP-70 torch is designed for increased comfort, more efficient cooling and economical replacement cutting tips. Capable of cutting 3/8 to 5/8 in. mild steel when powered by an engine-driven welder with a 240 V generator power outlet of 8 kW or more. No other manufacturer offers a better warranty than Hobart does. Power source is warranted for 3 years, parts and labor. Original rectifier parts have a 5-year warranty and the HP torches have a 1-year parts and labor warranty.
