OPERATION
PRO-CUT 60
B-2
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The PRO-CUT 60 is a constant current, single
range, continuous control plasma cutting system.
The microprocessor-based PRO-CUT 60 is capa-
ble of cutting with compressed air or nitrogen gas.
Nitrogen gas is used to cut aluminum or other
non-ferrous metals. This sophisticated system has
excellent starting characteristics, cutting visibility,
and arc stability. The machine automatically per-
forms fundamental troubleshooting when turned
ON.
The PRO-CUT 60 is equipped with a patented
plasma torch that has a safety mechanism that
assures consumables are in place before cutting
or gouging. This is extremely important due to
the high voltages involved. Two standard torch
cable lengths are available: a 25 ft. (7.6m) torch
cable or a 50 ft. (15.2m) torch cable. The machine
also comes with an air regulator, coarse air filter,
pressure gage, and spare parts kit. The standard
undercarriage is shipped assembled, except for
the handle.
RECOMMENDED PROCESSES AND
EQUIPMENT
The PRO-CUT 60 is capable of all cutting and
gouging applications within its output capacity of
25 to 60 amps. These applications include thin
gage sheet metal and expanded metal.
OPERATIONAL FEATURES AND
CONTROLS
The PRO-CUT 60 comes with an ON/OFF
POWER SWITCH, OUTPUT CURRENT CON-
TROL, and a RUN/PURGE SWITCH.
DESIGN FEATURES AND
ADVANTAGES
The microprocessor controlled PRO-CUT 60
design makes plasma cutting and gouging tasks
uncomplicated. This list of design features and
advantages will help you understand the
machine's total capabilities so that you can get
maximum use of your machine.
• Single continuous output range of 25-60
amps.
• Microprocessor controlled overshooting
limiting function increases consumable
life.
• High intensity, high frequency starter.
• Unique microprocessor controlled starting
sequence for consistent starting and torch
protection.
• Solid state pilot duty cycle limiting.Protects
components without fuses that would have
to be replaced.
• Bright 2.5-second timed pilot arc.
• Purge/Run switch.
• Two independent mechanisms for sensing
a shorted torch. Needed for safety and
torch protection.
• Patented safety sensor monitors if torch
parts are in place.
• Latching safety circuit mechanism requires
that the operator reset the circuit.
• Exposed torch parts voltage monitoring
with safety shutdown.
• Built-in undercarriage for portability.
• Built-in air controls, including air pressure
regulator.
• Air line filtering.
• Preflow/Afterflow timing. Preflow stops if
cutting or gouging resumes in previous
afterflow.
• Easy to use torch trigger switch.
• Line voltage compensated.
• Thermostatically protected.
• Solid state overcurrent protection.
