The Hobart AirForce 40i Plasma Cutter with 12ft Torch (500576) is an economical plasma cutting system for all conductive metals. Inverter-based design and reliable technology pack a lot of performance into a very portable package. The Airforce 40i plasma cutting system is excellent for light and heavy industrial users. Automated operations are also well within its range. Unit is compatible with engine-driven welders when powered with a 240 V generator power outlet of 8 kW or more. The 40i is a multi-voltage (120V and 240V) unit with a built-in gas/air filter and regulator for extra protection.

Highlights:
• Capable of cutting 5/8 to 7/8 in. mild steel when powered on 240 V power.
• MVP Adaptors allow 120V or 240V operation with quick-change plugs.
• The XT40R Ergonomic 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.
• Wind Tunnel Technology prevents abrasive dust and particles from damaging internal components.
• Thermal Overload Protection is built to withstand tough working environments. Rated for 60% duty cycle at 40A output.
• Cable Management Strap secures torch, work cable and power cord to make transporting easy and convenient.
• Line Voltage Compensation (LVC) provides peak performance power under variable input voltage conditions (±15%) for steady and cleaner ending cuts.
• Power Factor Correction expands operator’s work area via extension cords while minimizing nuisance trips caused by voltage drops.
• High Frequency Starts protect unit by not interfering with or damaging controls or computers.
