AirForce 40i - Runs on 120 and 240 V input power and clean cuts 5/8" steel.

For additional information on this product, please see the Product Documents section for all downloadable user manuals, installation guides, brochures and warranty statements.

  • New! Easier to move. It's easier to move to your work because it it's 30% lighter - weighs only 21 lbs. - than the previous version.
  • New! Easier to store. 50% smaller than the previous version making it easier to store in your garage or shop.
  • New! Enhanced versatility. More versatile with the addition of MVP technology that allows for connection to 120 V and 240 V input power.
  • XT40R torch Designed for increased comfort with an ergonomic trigger safety, more efficient cooling and economical replacement cutting tips
  • Pilot arc controller Allows you to cut expanded/perforated metals, as well as painted or coated surfaces, without retriggering the torch.
  • Wind Tunnel Technology Prevents abrasive dust and particles from damaging internal components.
  • Fan-On-Demand Cooling system operates only when needed reducing power consumption and contaminants drawn into the machine.
  • Power factor correction (PFC) circuitry 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.
  • LVC line voltage compensation Provides peak performance power under variable input voltage conditions (+/- 15%) for steady and cleaner-ending cuts.
  • Internal gas/air filter and regulator Controls amount of usage and flow or air or gas.
  • Starts without high frequency Protects unit by not interfering with or damaging controls or computers.
  • Easy troublshooting LED lights for quick troubleshooting of pressure, power and cup situations
  • MVP adapters Allow connection to 120 or 240 V receptacles without tools - choose the adapter cord with the right plug that fits the receptacle, and connect it to the power cord with the L6-30R twist lock
  • Postflow cooling circuit Extends life of consumables and torch by cooling them with postflow air after trigger is released.
  • Automatic gouging consumable detection Adjusts gas pressure to optimize performance, eliminating the need for a manual regulator.
  • Compatible with engine-driven welders Complete cutting capability when powered by an engine- driven welder/generator with 240V receptacle of 8 kW or more
  • Diagnostic Lights LED lights for quick troubleshooting of pressure, power and cup situations
