7-5200 - Thermal Dynamics SL60 Replacement Plasma Torch 20ft Leads

Universal Replacement Plasma Torch Technology

The Thermal Dynamics SL60 1Torch (Part Number 7-5200) represents a significant advancement in plasma cutting versatility. Designed as a Replacement (RPT®) torch, the 1Torch system is engineered to function seamlessly with the majority of plasma power supplies currently available on the market. This specific model features a 75-degree torch head and a 20-foot (6.1-meter) lead, terminating in a standard RPT (O2B) connection. The unit is rated for a DC output of up to 80 Amps, making it a robust solution for light to medium-duty industrial applications.

One of the critical technical advantages of the SL60 1Torch is its unique internal design, which allows it to adapt to various starting mechanisms. Whether the power supply utilizes High Frequency (HF), Touch Start, Capacitive Discharge (CD), or Moving Parts (Blow Back) start systems, the SL60 is capable of establishing a pilot arc reliably. This universality simplifies inventory management for facilities with mixed fleets of plasma cutters, as a single torch model can often service multiple machines. The torch operates at a standard air pressure of 70 psi, ensuring consistent arc stability and cooling.

The 7-5200 assembly includes the torch handle, the 75-degree head, and the 20-foot lead set. The connection type is the O2B, also known as the ATC (Advanced Torch Connector) receptacle style in some configurations, which provides a quick and secure interface with the power source. The torch is rated for a maximum cutting capacity of 3/4 inch (19 mm) and a severance capacity of 5/8 inch, providing ample power for standard fabrication tasks. The physical dimensions of the torch are optimized for balance and maneuverability, measuring approximately 3.8 x 14.8 x 6.2 inches in its packaging. By standardizing on the SL60 1Torch, operators gain access to the widely available Cutmaster Black Series consumables, including extended life electrodes, further enhancing the operational efficiency of the cutting system.
