PROCESS DESCRIPTION
Plasmarc™ Technology From the Originators
Since we developed the Plasmarc process in 1957, we have
introduced a number of innovations to ensure peak performance in
plasma cutting and gouging. Today ESAB’s Plasmarc product line
includes a full range of systems designed to meet your specific needs
and applications. From compact, portable packages to heavy duty
industrial systems, our machines offer cutting capacities from 1/8 in.
(3.18 mm) to 4 in (101.6 mm).
With their advanced inverter technology, ESAB’s portable and
transportable machines provide all the cutting power that normally
requires larger, heavyweight consoles. The versatile Deuce Pack 150
system offers 300 amps of heavy duty cutting and gouging power for a
variety of industrial applications—plus it can be separated into two 150
amp consoles for smaller scale operations. Also available are a variety
of advanced ESP (ESAB Smart Plasma) heavy mechanized systems for
high quality cutting in automation situations.
ESAB’s commitment to plasma performance is carried through in the
top quality and innovation of the Plasmarc torches and consumables.
From the innovative PT-31XL, the most compact 50 amp torch available
on the market with the capacity to cut up to 1 in. (25.4 mm), to the
PT-26, with a 4 in. (101.6 mm) cutting capacity with Air, N2 or H-35,
our complete line of torches is designed for superior cut quality and
maximum operator comfort. ESAB’s patented XT tips boost performance
and extend consumable life.
Plasma Arc Modes
Plasma Arc
Cutting
Plasmarc gouging outperforms more conventional gouging methods.
Because it produces substantially less smoke and fumes, it significantly
decreases operator exposure to air contaminants. In addition, Plasmarc
gouging is faster, cleaner, less expensive and more accurate.
Process Description
In our patented Plasmarc process, an electrode is built into the torch
nozzle, which has an arc constricting orifice. Plasma gas, usually air,
is fed through the nozzle where it is heated to the plasma temperature
range—as high as 50,000° F. The plasma arc that emerges from the
orifice is hot enough to melt any metal.
Because Plasmarc cutting is a relatively simple operation, it is widely
accepted for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The plasma arc’s
straight, narrow, column-like shape and high current density allow the
operator to achieve cut consistency without maintaining a constant
distance between the nozzle and the workpiece.
Plasmarc gouging is a variation of the Plasmarc cutting process.
The torch nozzle configuration is designed to produce a lower velocity,
broader arc. Rather than cutting completely through the metal, the torch
is held at an angle so the arc gouges a U-shaped groove in the metal.
IMPORTANT
Product Safety—Sound common sense procedures must be
followed for personal protection and operating efficiency when
using plasma arc welding and cutting equipment. Always comply
with the manufacturer’s recommendations for operating and
maintaining the equipment as set forth in the instructions provided
with each unit. Also, be certain to use all applicable safety
precautions as described in Precautions and Safe Practices for Arc
Welding, Cutting and Gouging, F-52-529, which is available from
your local ESAB welding products distributor or sales office.

Deciding when to use
MANUAL PLASMA ARC CUTTING
Plasma arc cutting, which has been used for almost 40
years, involves using a torch, com­pressed gas, and a
source of electric power to create a constricted arc that
melts a localized area of metal and removes the molten
material with a high-velocity jet of hot, ionized gas.
available to accomplish these cutting tasks. Nibblers
are relatively in­expensive and can cut shapes and con­
tours. They may run slow on thicker materials, however,
and they may dis­tort the metal or leave scalloped or
rough edges.
During plasma arc cutting, a com­pressed gas and
an electric arc are si­multaneously passed through
a small Orifice, which is typically 0.040 in. (1.0 mm)
to 0.125 in. (3.18 mm) in diameter. An electric arc
heats the gas to a plasma state at a tempera­ture as
high as 50,000 degrees Fahren­heit. This superheated
plasma jet is directed to the area to be cut, and the
jet melts a path through the metal. Because it is a
melting process, a plasma arc can cut almost any
commercially used metal.
Shears are quick and leave a smooth edge, but they
are restricted to cutting straight edges. Similarly,
circular saws leave reasonably good-quality straight
edges, but they are limited to cutting straight lines.
Saber saws are not limited to cutting straight lines,
but they may run slower and are most suitable for
thinner materials.
Plasma arc cutting can be accom­plished manually
or mechanically. In mechanical setups, a plasma arc
torch is driven by an automatic machine that is typically
regulated by a computer nu­merical control (CNC) to
cut a prede­termined shape. This article focuses on
manual plasma arc cutting, in which the plasma arc
torch is manipulated by hand to perform a variety of
metal cut­ting tasks.
Manual systems are available in a va­riety of sizes.
Generally rated in am­perage output or cutting capacity,
the units range from about 15 to 300 amps output,
encompassing a cutting capacity ranging from 1/4 in.
(6.35 mm) to about 4 in. (101.6 mm).
Manual units can also be divided into two general
categories. Stationary or console systems generally
are de­signed to remain fixed in one place, although
most are equipped with wheels that make it possible to
roll them around a shop. Portable systems are designed
to be carried about by one or two workers, allowing
them to move the system where it is needed rather
than taking materials to be cut to one location.
Most of these systems use ordinary shop compressed air
as the plasma cut­ting gas, provided it is not too wet, dirty,
or oily. Some systems can also use other compressed
gases such as nitro­gen or argon/hydrogen mixtures for
cer­tain cutting tasks involving nonferrous metals.
Typical Cutting Needs
In most sheet metal shops, a variety of metal cutting
chores must be ac­complished, and the need often
arises to cut unique or low-production shapes, modify
a part, do prototype work, or modify a part in the
field. Several options besides plasma cut­ting are
2-
Oxyfuel cutting may not be suitable for use on gaugethickness materials because the preheating that is
necessary and relatively low travel speeds com­bine
to place a considerable amount of heat in the steel,
which can cause se­vere distortion of thinner materials.
It is also limited to use on carbon steel, because other
metals create high melt­ing point oxides that interfere
with or stop the burning process of oxyfuel cut­ting.
However, oxyfuel cutting is con­sidered a better choice
for cutting car­bon steel thicknesses of more than
1-1/2 in. (38.1 mm) because it is faster.
The travel speed of oxyfuel is deter­mined by the
propagation rate of the burning reaction, which is
relatively in­dependent of the steel thickness. Typi­cally,
it is in the range of 20 in. (508 mm) to 25 in. (635 mm)
per minute. Plasma melts its way through a material,
however, so the cut­ting speed is determined by material
types and thicknesses. Typical plasma cutting speeds
can range from 5 in. (127 mm) to more than 100 in.
(2.54 mm) per minute.
An appropriately sized manual plas­ma arc cutting
unit can handle most cutting chores. The unit can
cut con­tours and straight lines. Most units can follow
a template or straight edge, so cutting does not
necessarily have to be entirely freehand. In addition,
circle­ cutting or other torch-guide at­tachments can
aid in cutting particular contours. If a plasma arc unit
is sized properly for a job, cutting speeds should be
about 15 in. (381 mm) per minute or higher, which
helps maintain good production rates while minimizing
heat distortion of a workpiece. The resulting edge
quality can vary, however, depending on the particular
plasma unit being used, the material being cut, and
the operator’s skill. Typically, using air as the plasma
gas while cutting carbon steel helps pro­duce straight
and relatively smooth edges. Any slag or dross that
accumulates on the bottom of a cut knocks off easily.
Deciding when to use
MANUAL PLASMA ARC CUTTING
Air can also be used as the plas­ma gas for cutting
stainless steel and aluminum, but some oxidation
will occur on the resulting edges. Aluminum develops
a rough appearance, and stain­less steel becomes
somewhat discolored. Using an inert gas such as
nitrogen or argon/hydrogen instead of air as the plasma
gas can eliminate these prob­lems, however.
For cutting chores beyond the gauge thickness range,
manual plasma is often a suitable choice. Plasma arc
cutting units can cut, trim, or remove carbon steel as
thick as 4 in. (101.6 mm). Plasma uses no open flame,
and no compressed gas cylinders are needed if air is
used as the plasma gas. Still, oxyfuel cutting is usu­
ally considered to be a better choice for carbon steel
thicknesses of more than 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) to 2 in. (50.8
mm) because of its speed.
To cut aluminum, the only alterna­tive to plasma arc
cutting is mechanical cutting with saws, etc., although
routers or nibblers can be used for edge prepara­tion
tasks. Using air as the gas to plasma arc cut aluminum
will result in a rough edge. Substituting nitrogen or an
argon/hydrogen mix for air will general­ly result in a
smoother, cleaner cut face, but those gases are more
expensive to use.
For thicker stainless steels, as well as cast iron and highalloy steels, plasma cutting may be the only practical
cut­ting option. The tough composition of stainless steels
makes cutting them by mechanical means difficult.
Again, if the cut face must not be discolored or oxidized,
gases such as nitrogen or argon-hydrogen should be
used instead of air.
Cutting Capability
Choosing the right manual plasma unit for your
particular application can be perplexing if you are
unfamiliar with manual plasma cutting. Once you un­
derstand the basics, however, the job becomes easy.
No industry standard ex­ists for rating the thickness
cutting ca­pability of a manual plasma unit. How­
ever, cutting thickness claims made by most major
manufacturers are usually accurate.
First, determine the maximum thick­ness you plan to cut
regularly. This thickness should be in the mid-range of
the unit’s cutting capability. This is im­portant because:
l. When tackling their maximum cutting thicknesses,
most manual plas­ma units have slow travel speeds,
typi­cally less than 12 in. (304.8 mm) per minute.
2. The higher cutting current of a larger-rated unit
inhibits dross or slag formation on the bottom of
the cut on carbon steel, producing a cleaner cut.
3. The reserve cutting capacity pro­vides the capability
to cut thicker mate­rials if the need arises.
Be careful to judge a unit by its ac­tual cutting capability
and not by its electrical current rating, because differ­ent
designs deliver dissimilar cutting performances from
the same amount of current.You should also remember
that most cut thickness ratings are based on cutting
carbon steel.
Another consideration in selecting a unit is portability.
Most units available with 1 in. (25.4 mm) or lower
capacities are designed so that one or two workers
can transport them around a plant or job site. Most
plasma arc cutting units rated at more than 1 in. (25.4
mm) capacity cannot be transported easily, but they
may be wheeled about a shop or transported with a
lift truck or hoist.
The Cutting Torch
One of the most important con­siderations in choosing
a system is the front-end design of the plasma arc cut­
ting torch, because it controls the cut and most heavily
influences the operat­ing costs of the setup. If reaching
tight places is important, a torch with a small or narrow
front end is a good choice. A smaller front end may also
be a better choice in applications that require a clear
line of vision to follow a cut line, because a larger front
end could obscure vision.
In addition to the up-front costs for nozzles, electrodes,
and other front-end parts, you should consider the
durability of the parts and the life in arc hours you can
expect from the nozzle and elec­trode combination.
These factors are better indicators of operating costs
than are the prices of the parts alone.
Plasma arc cutting torch parts are generally made to
very high tolerances. Make sure that any replacement
parts you use are made to proper specifica­tions.
The wrong replacement parts can result in poor
performance and damage to the torch head, which
could necessi­tate an expensive repair.
Conclusion
Finally, the best way to evaluate a manual plasma arc
cutter for your ap­plication is to ask for a demonstration.
Many of the factors that determine which unit is right
for you become ob­vious when you see the unit demon­
strated in your own shop. Pay particular attention to cut
speed, quality, ease of use, and portability, if that is an
issue. If access is limited to an area to be cut, make
sure that the cutter you evaluate can do the job.

PRODUCT SELECTION GUIDE
Recommended Cutting Gases
Compressed Air is the most commonly used gas for lower
current plasma cutting and works well for most metals from
gauge thickness to 1 in. (25.4 mm). It leaves an oxidized
cut surface. Compressed air can also be used for plasma
gouging on carbon steel.
Nitrogen is often used for higher current plasma systems
and for cutting materials up to 3 in. (76.2 mm) thick. It
produces excellent quality cuts on most materials.
Oxygen is used when the highest quality mechanized cuts
are desired on carbon steel up to 1 -1/4 in. (31.75 mm)
thick. The cut face is smooth, and dross is easy to remove.
Oxygen can also be used on stainless steel and aluminum,
but it produces a rougher cut face.
Argon-Hydrogen Mixtures are generally used for cutting
stainless steel and aluminum. They produce a clean,
high quality cut face. Argon-Hydrogen is required for
mechanized cutting of any material more than 3 in. (76.2
mm) thick. This mixture also provides an excellent gas for
plasma gouging on all materials.

COST COMPARISON
Cut Costs and Cut Better
While there are several factors that influence operating costs
in plasma cutting, most people agree that replacement costs
for torch wear parts play a major role. ESAB put operation
costs to the test using the PowerCut® 1250, the newest
machine in this outstanding line of plasma cutters. See why
– as shown in the chart below – ESAB’s PowerCut®-1250
PlasmarcTM machine had less than half the consumable
costs per foot cut than even its closest competition.

Machines tested had equivalent cutting capacities. Tests were performed on ½ inch carbon steel. Costs were based on list prices as of
11/1/2002.
Half the Story
Often, ESAB competitors only give you half the story, focusing
on nozzle and electrode life. Sure, replacing these front-end
wear parts contributes significantly to your operating costs.
But other wear parts – such as heat shields, swirl rings and
retaining caps – also have to be replaced on a regular basis.
Their cost and lifespan are also important factors in the
overall expense for operating your plasma cutter.
Altogether, Lowers Costs
With more than 40 years experience producing manual
plasma cutting systems, ESAB is unsurpassed when it
comes to reducing operation costs. In addition to attractive
pricing, plus nozzles and electrodes designed for longer life,
ESAB offers simplified torch design that significantly reduces
wear on other parts as well as the quantity of other parts
that need replacing.
2-12
Altogether Better
Superior economy of operation is just one reason to choose
an ESAB Plasmarc cutter. Superior durability, reliability and
performance also make ESAB’s complete line of PowerCut®
machines the best choice for all your manual plasma cutting
needs.

Mechanized
100% Duty Cycle for enhanced productivity allowing
for continuous operation even when operating at
maximum thickness.
Machined torch body with 1-3/8” metal handle and 32pitch rack fits standard torch holders. Also available
without rack.
Utilizes a “drawn arc” to initiate the cut which eliminates
high frequency interference from the star ting
circuits.
R obust machined torch components provide for
reliability, durability and ease of maintenance.
Metal nozzle and retaining cup stand up to the toughest
cutting conditions.
Cuts the entire working range with a single set of
consumables, thin gauge to 5/8” material. This
reduces the number of required setups, reduces
wear-parts inventory and simplifies re-ordering. Two
nozzles are offered, one optimized for gauge sheets
the other for plate cutting. Either nozzle will cut the
entire range.
E lectronically controlled pilot arc provides for
consistent starting and incorporates automatic restrike
for grate cutting and duct-cutting.
A full CNC/Robotic interface is standard
The console is prewired with a 25’ (7.6m) work cable,
50’ (15m) CNC interface cable and 6’ power cable (3m
on CE rated units). Adapter plugs to match competitive
system interface cables are available.
Wear parts are available individually, in sets and
in value packs which eases ordering and saves
money.

ESP (ESAB SMART PLASMA)
HEAVY MECHANIZED SYSTEMS
ESAB offers the latest technology in mechanized plasma
cutting providing speed, quality and economy unmatched by
any other plasma supplier. Our wide range of plasma systems
are designed for high quality cutting in medium and heavy duty
automation situations. ESAB’s ESP systems can be interfaced
with most cutting machines, robots, punch presses and other
automation devices.
Control Systems
ESP
Mechanized
The ESP system begins with its Smart Plasma Flow Controller.
Designed for use with both of ESAB’s heavy mechanized
torches, the flow controller handles a full range of cutting
gases (O2, N2, Air and Ar-H2). In addition, it completely controls
all process parameters. For O2 plasma cutting, it uses ESAB’s
patented Ultralife O2 plasma technology. The flow controller is
supported by a compact plumbing box for starting and torch
connection and by the water coolers, pumps, etc. required for
a complete mechanized system.
Power Sources
Every mechanized system requires a power source. ESAB’s
line of all solid state mechanized power sources offer the
latest technology for economical and reliable operation. And,
with ESAB’s plasma cutting power sources, there’s a size to
fit every need.
Ultralife-300

The optimal power source for maximum consumable
life using O2 or air as the plasma gas

Rated at 300 amps
Ultralife-400C
Developed from the ESP-600C design to provide the
same proven reliability and dependability
Rated at 400 amps
ESP-600C
The best power source for heavy duty O2 & N2 plasma
cutting
Rated at 600 amps
Mechanized Torches
The torch is the heart of any mechanized system. It is the
major factor in determining cut quality and cost of operation.
ESAB’s state-of-the-art heavy-duty plasma torches are
unmatched in the industry when it comes to cut quality, speed
and economy of operation. Two important features distance
ESAB torches from the competition:
Torch Models
PT-15XL
Produces optimal cut quality on most commercial
metals with its water injection plasma design
Rated up to 1000 amps
Use with O2, N2 or Ar-H2
PT-19XLS
The ideal choice when a “dry” (non-water injected)
torch is desired because the applications makes it
undesirable to have water emitting from the torch
Excellent cuts on most commercial metals
Use with O2, N2 or Ar-H2
PT-600
A “dry-cutting” heavy duty cutting torch manufactured
to high precision standards to provide the performance
needed for accurate straight or bevel cutting
Rated to 400A @ 100% Oxygen and 600A @ 100%
N2/Ar-H2
Consult your ESAB representative to configure an ESP system
best suited to your specific needs.
For superior economy, their unique repairable construction
allows users to replace individual torch components rather
than discard the whole assembly.
For O2 or air cutting, these torches use ESAB’s patented
Ultralife O2 plasma technology.
