The PTST403X3 is a high-quality replacement plasma torch designed for systems utilizing the popular PT-40 (or IPT-40) torch configuration. Engineered for durability and performance, this torch is rated for up to 40 Amps of cutting power, making it an essential component for light-to-medium duty industrial fabrication, HVAC ductwork, and automotive repair applications. The torch utilizes a pneumatic "back blow" pilot arc starting mechanism, which initiates the arc by retracting the electrode from the nozzle using air pressure. This method eliminates the need for High-Frequency (HF) start, significantly reducing electrical noise and interference with surrounding CNC equipment or sensitive electronics.
This assembly features a robust 3-meter (approximately 10 feet) cable lead, providing ample reach for bench work and shop floor maneuverability. The cable is protected by a durable sheath that resists abrasion and heat, ensuring longevity in harsh workshop environments. The torch head is designed with optimized airflow dynamics to cool the consumables efficiently, extending the life of electrodes and nozzles during extended cutting sessions. The connection system is designed to integrate seamlessly with compatible power sources, ensuring a stable electrical and pneumatic connection.
Operators will appreciate the ergonomic handle design, which offers a comfortable grip and intuitive trigger placement to reduce hand fatigue during prolonged use. The torch comes ready to install with a standard set of consumables, allowing for immediate deployment. Whether replacing a damaged unit or upgrading an older torch, the PTST403X3 delivers consistent arc stability and clean cut quality on mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.
