7-5214 - Thermal Dynamics SL100 Machine Torch, 180 Degree, 10ft Lead

Precision Mechanized Cutting with the SL100 1Torch

The Thermal Dynamics 7-5214 SL100 (180) Torch represents the pinnacle of mechanized plasma cutting technology. Designed as part of the renowned 1Torch family, this 180-degree straight torch is engineered specifically for automated applications, including CNC tables, track burners, and pipe beveling machines. The 180-degree configuration ensures a streamlined profile that mounts easily into standard torch holders, providing the stability and alignment necessary for high-precision cuts.

Equipped with a 10-foot (3.0 meter) lead, this assembly is ideal for setups where the power supply is located in close proximity to the cutting head, reducing cable clutter and signal loss. The torch features the industry-standard ATC (Advanced Torch Connector), allowing for rapid connection and disconnection. This modularity is critical for maintenance teams, enabling quick swaps without the need for tools, thereby minimizing machine downtime.

Technically, the SL100 is rated for up to 100 Amps, delivering substantial cutting power capable of piercing and severing thick plate materials with ease. It utilizes Thermal Dynamics' patented start cartridge technology, which eliminates high-frequency interference that can damage sensitive CNC electronics. The gas-cooled design is optimized for efficiency, requiring standard shop air or nitrogen at 65-75 PSI. With a 60% duty cycle at maximum output and 100% at 60 Amps, this torch is built for continuous industrial production cycles.

Compatibility is a key strength of the 7-5214. It accepts the full range of SL100 consumables, meaning shops can standardize inventory across both hand and machine torches. Whether retrofitting an older system or outfitting a new Cutmaster unit, the SL100 180-degree torch delivers consistent, high-quality results with excellent kerf characteristics and minimal dross.
