SECTION 2.0

INTRODUCTION

2.01 INTRODUCTION
Plasma is a gas which has been heated to an extremely
high temperature and ionized so that it becomes elec-
trically conductive. The plasma arc cutting process uses
this plasma to transfer an electrical arc to the work-
piece. The metal to be cut is melted by the heat of the
arc and then blown away.

NOTE:

2.03 Features

• COMPACT and LIGHT - Designed for easy trans-
portation.
• ENERGY EFFICIENCY - Advanced technology
reduces power consumption.
• HIGH SPEED GENUINE CUTTING - The con-
stricted plasma arc provides high speed cutting
as well as a good quality genuine, narrow cut.
• LOW COST WITH COMPRESSED AIR - The 35C
operates on compressed air.
• ALL KINDS OF METALS - Useful for most met-
als such as stainless steel, aluminum, mild steel,
copper and their alloys.
• PILOT ARC IGNITION FROM TORCH - The Pi-
lot Arc ignites the cutting arc.
• POWERFUL CUTTING PERFORMANCE -
Genuine cutting capacity is 3/8" (10 mm) and
5/8" (15 mm) for maximum cut.
• ABLE TO CUT PAINTED MATERIALS - Pilot Arc
ignition allows the 35C to cut painted materials.
• EXTENDED PARTS LIFE - Consumable parts life
is longer.
