Restore the precision and power of your plasma cutting system with the Hobart XT40R Plasma Torch (284516). Designed specifically as a direct replacement for the Hobart AirForce 40i plasma cutter, this torch assembly ensures that your equipment continues to operate at peak efficiency. Unlike generic aftermarket alternatives, this genuine Hobart component is engineered to meet the exact electrical and thermal specifications of your machine, guaranteeing safe and reliable arc initiation every time you pull the trigger.
The XT40R features a 12-foot (4-meter) lead, providing ample reach for working around large workpieces or maneuvering in workshop environments where the power source cannot be immediately adjacent to the cut. The cable is protected by a durable outer sheath that resists abrasion and heat, common hazards in industrial settings. The torch head itself utilizes Hobart's XT series technology, which is renowned for its efficient airflow design. This cooling mechanism extends the life of both the torch and the consumables, reducing downtime and long-term operating costs.
One of the standout features of this replacement torch is its ergonomic design. The handle is contoured to fit comfortably in the hand, reducing grip strain during long cutting operations. The trigger placement is intuitive, allowing for precise control over the arc without awkward hand positioning. Additionally, the torch comes ready to use right out of the box, complete with a set of installed consumables. This means you can get back to work immediately without sourcing additional tips or electrodes. Whether you are cutting mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, the XT40R delivers the focused plasma stream necessary for clean, dross-free cuts.
This unit is also the direct replacement for the older part number 268923. If your existing torch has been damaged due to wear and tear or accidental impact, the 284516 is the correct upgrade. Trust in the quality of Hobart's manufacturing to keep your fabrication projects moving forward with minimal interruption.
