The Thermal Dynamics Cutmaster A60 (SKU: 1-6636-1) represents a significant leap forward in automated air plasma cutting technology. Designed specifically for light to medium-duty manufacturing and fabrication environments, the A60 combines the proven reliability of the Cutmaster platform with advanced features tailored for CNC integration. This unit delivers a robust 60 Amps of cutting power, capable of a production pierce on 1/2-inch (12mm) mild steel and a maximum pierce on 5/8-inch (15mm) material. Its high 80% duty cycle at maximum output ensures that production lines remain active with minimal downtime for cooling, making it an excellent choice for job shops and manufacturing cells requiring consistent throughput.
A defining feature of this package is the inclusion of the SL100SV 1Torch. The "SV" designation stands for Solenoid Valve, indicating that the gas control valve is integrated directly into the torch head rather than the power supply. This design minimizes the distance between the valve and the arc, significantly improving gas flow response times and arc starting reliability—critical factors in high-speed automated cutting. The 35-foot (10.8m) torch lead provides ample reach for standard gantry sizes without compromising signal integrity or arc stability.
Integration is streamlined via the rear-panel CNC interface, which offers pre-wired access to Start/Stop, OK-to-Move, and Divided Arc Voltage signals. The unit's Auto-Voltage capability automatically adapts to single-phase input power ranging from 208V to 480V, eliminating the need for manual rewiring and reducing setup errors. The compact chassis design allows for easy mounting on cutting tables or robotic arms where space is at a premium. Furthermore, the A60 utilizes the 1Torch consumable platform, simplifying inventory management by using the same parts as handheld Cutmaster units.
For industrial operators seeking a balance of cost, performance, and ease of automation, the Cutmaster A60 offers a compelling solution. It delivers the cut quality required for precision fabrication while maintaining the rugged durability associated with the Thermal Dynamics brand.
