0559313341 - Thermal Dynamics A80 Automated Plasma Cutter Power Source

High-Performance Automated Plasma Cutting Power

The ESAB A80 Plasma Console 208-460V represents the gold standard in automated air plasma cutting technology. Part of the renowned A-Series (formerly under the Thermal Dynamics brand), this power source is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern manufacturing environments. Delivering a robust 80 Amps of cutting current, the A80 is designed to provide precision cuts on mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, making it an indispensable asset for fabrication shops utilizing CNC tables.

One of the standout features of the A80 is its impressive 80% duty cycle at full amperage. This high duty cycle ensures that the machine can handle long, continuous cutting runs without overheating or requiring frequent cool-down periods, thereby maximizing throughput and productivity. The unit's intelligent design includes a multi-voltage input capability, allowing it to operate seamlessly on 208V to 460V power supplies, whether single-phase or three-phase. This flexibility simplifies installation and ensures compatibility with a wide range of industrial electrical infrastructures.

Advanced CNC Integration

The A80 Console is built with automation in mind. It features a standard CNC interface located on the rear panel, providing easy access for Start/Stop, OK to Move, and Divided Arc Voltage signals. This ensures seamless communication between the plasma power source and your cutting table's controller, resulting in synchronized operations and superior cut quality. The system is optimized for use with the SL100 SV 1Torch, which offers standard and shielded consumable parts to reduce dross and improve edge angularity.

Reliability and Durability

Industrial environments demand equipment that can withstand harsh conditions. The ESAB A80 is housed in a rugged, powder-coated metal case that protects internal components from dust and debris. The pneumatic system is designed to operate with clean, dry compressed air or nitrogen, providing flexibility depending on the material being cut. With features like Auto-Pilot Restart, the A80 excels at cutting interrupted geometries, such as expanded metal or grating, without manual intervention. Whether you are upgrading an existing table or outfitting a new CNC setup, the ESAB A80 Plasma Console delivers the reliability and performance required for high-precision automated cutting.
