Thermal Dynamics® Automation’s new UC Series of high-precision automated plasma power supplies features 4 models offering cutting power ranging from 130 up to 800 Ampere for maximum productivity, cut quality and reliability for piercing mild steel up to 50 mm and stainless steel up to 100 mm.
Target applications for the paralleling capability include fabricators and steel services centers that use two torches on the same gantry and want to increase cutting speeds on steel plates up to 2-in. (50 mm) thick. It also lets fabricators cut stainless steel and aluminum sections up to 6.25 in. (160 mm) for applications in the power generation, pressure vessel, windmills, chemical and petrochemical processing industries. To double a torch’s cutting output, users need to change the SpeedLok™ consumables cartridge, which takes less than a minute.
The UC systems are equipped with a modernized inverter block with state-of-the-art power switching components for fine control of the cutting process and proven reliability, an LED strip for an at-a-glance assessment of machine status and an optional WiFi communication for Industry 4.0 (IoT) applications.
