Description
The Hobart AirForce® 500i plasma cutter with MVP™ (multi-voltage plug) allows you to connect to either 115V or 230V input power without the use of any tools - simply choose the plug that fits your receptacle, twist on and you are ready to cut. It is a lightweight, inverter-based designed plasma cutter that uses an electrical arc and compressed air to cut steel, aluminum and any other conductive metal. Compared to the complexities of an oxy-fuel cutting torch system, plasma cutting is easy.
- Cuts faster than oxy-fuel
- More precise cut, thinner width of cut, less slag to clean up
- Smaller heat-affected zone for less warping
- No gas pressure settings or flame tuning needed
- No pre-heating of metal prior to cutting
- Provides gouging and piercing capabilities
- Cuts mild steel up to 5/8 in. thick using standard household current
- New Inverter Design - Weighs only 27.8 lb.
- Operates on 115V or 230V input power
- Duty cycle - 115V 20% at 27 A with 92 V DC; 230V 20% at 27 A with 92 VDC
- Capable with Engine-Driven Welders - Complete cutting capability when powered by an engine-driven welder with a 240 V generator power outlet of 6 kW or more
- Ergonomic Torch - HP-50 torch is designed for increased comfort, more efficient cooling and economical replacement cutting tips
- Post-flow Air Cooling - Cools the torch and tip after cutting, extending life of replaceable tip and electrode
- Fan-On-Demand™ - Runs only when needed reducing dust/debris pulled into unit
- Diagnostic Lights - LED lights indicate system status for quick troubleshooting of pressure, power and cup situations
- Wind Tunnel Technology™ - Prevents abrasive dust and particles from damaging internal components
