SECTION 1
1.1 GENERAL
The PCM-50i is a compact, completely self-contained
plasma cutting system. As shipped, the system is fully
assembled and ready to cut after being connected to
input power and a source of compressed air (90-150 psi;
6-10 bar). The PCM-50i package uses the heavy-duty
PT-27 torch to deliver cutting power for materials up to
1-1/4 inch (32 mm) thick. Refer to the following para-
graphs for descriptions of the PCM-50i packages avail-
able as well as performance specifications.
Use only torches designed for use with this Series A
console. Do NOT use or modify the PT-23, PCT-80 or
any other torch for use on this console. The series A
console uses a pneumatic interlock safety system.
The original console used an electrical safety inter-
lock system. Use of torches not designed for use
with this console could create an electrical shock
hazard.
