2118100 - Oxweld PM-100 Machine Torch 13-9/16 Inch Barrel

Industrial Grade Machine Cutting Performance

The ESAB Oxweld PM-100 Machine Cutting Torch (SKU: 2118100) is a premier solution for heavy-duty industrial fabrication and steel processing. Engineered for automated environments, this torch is designed to integrate seamlessly into shape cutting machines and automatic cut-off systems. Its defining characteristic is its immense cutting capacity, capable of slicing through steel sections up to 40 inches thick. This makes it an indispensable tool for steel mills, heavy equipment manufacturing, and large-scale infrastructure projects where standard torches fall short.

Safety and reliability are at the core of the PM-100's engineering. The torch utilizes a post-mix design, meaning the preheat fuel gas and oxygen are mixed outside the torch nozzle rather than inside the barrel. This configuration virtually eliminates the risk of flashback within the torch itself, a critical safety feature for high-volume, automated operations. The 13-9/16 inch length and standard 1-3/8 inch barrel diameter ensure compatibility with a wide range of mounting hardware and machine carriages.

Operational versatility is another key benefit. The PM-100 supports multiple cooling methods—convection, air, or water-cooled—allowing facility managers to adapt the setup based on ambient temperatures and duty cycles. The high stand-off design is specifically engineered to keep high-speed cutting tips free from molten spatter, reducing downtime for maintenance and cleaning. While the post-mix design precludes plate piercing, it offers unmatched reliability for edge starting and continuous cutting of extremely thick materials.
