55A PLASMA ARC CUTTING MACHINE
PLASMA60i
INTRODUCTION
050812
The PLASMA60i is an inverter-style plasma arc power source designed for cutting ferrous
and non-ferrous metals. It uses compressed air or nitrogen to facilitate the cutting process.
The maximum cut depth is 3/4” and the unit will sever up to 1”. Depth-of-Cut adjustment for
applications that require cutting only the top layer of material without disturbing the base
layer. It is also light weight for portability.
