0559356342 - ESAB A40i Automated Plasma Cutter Power Source

Precision Automated Plasma Cutting with ESAB A40i

The ESAB A40i is a state-of-the-art air plasma cutting power source designed specifically for automated and mechanized applications. Engineered to deliver consistent, high-quality cuts, this unit is the ideal foundation for light industrial CNC tables, HVAC duct cutting, and general fabrication automation. With a robust output of 40 Amps, the A40i provides the power necessary to pierce up to 3/8 inch (10mm) mild steel and edge start on materials up to 1/2 inch (12mm), making it a versatile tool for a wide range of production environments.

One of the standout features of the A40i is its impressive duty cycle. Rated at 80% at full amperage, this machine is built to work as hard as you do, allowing for long cutting runs without thermal interruption. This reliability is crucial for automated setups where downtime directly impacts profitability. The unit utilizes the renowned 1Torch technology (SL60/SL100), which is famous for its arc stability and consumable longevity. This ensures that your cuts remain clean and precise, reducing the need for secondary operations like grinding or finishing.

Flexibility is at the core of the A40i design. It features intelligent auto-voltage detection, allowing it to operate seamlessly on input voltages ranging from 208V to 480V, in both single and three-phase configurations. This means you can integrate it into almost any shop's electrical infrastructure without complex rewiring. The unit also comes standard with a CNC interface, simplifying the connection to your table's controller for start/stop signals and arc voltage height control. Compact, powerful, and reliable, the ESAB A40i is the smart choice for modern fabrication shops looking to upgrade their automated cutting capabilities.
