K2809-1 - Lincoln Tomahawk 1500 Plasma Power Source (No Torch) K2809-1

Industrial Precision with the Lincoln Tomahawk 1500

The Lincoln Electric Tomahawk 1500 Plasma Cutter (K2809-1) is a high-performance power source designed for heavy-duty fabrication and industrial applications. Engineered on a proven inverter platform, this machine delivers a robust 100 amps of cutting power at a 60% duty cycle, enabling clean, precision cuts on materials up to 1-1/4 inches (31.8 mm) thick. For severance requirements, the unit can handle mild steel up to 1-1/2 inches (38.1 mm), making it an indispensable tool for structural steel fabrication, shipbuilding, and heavy equipment repair.

This unit is sold as a power source only, allowing operators to select the specific torch configuration (handheld or mechanized) that best suits their operational needs. The Tomahawk 1500 features Lincoln's advanced Touch-Start system, which initiates the plasma arc without the use of high-frequency (HF) discharge. This is critical in environments with sensitive electronics, as it eliminates the radio frequency interference often associated with older plasma technology. Additionally, the machine includes a Parts-in-Place safety mechanism that detects whether consumables are correctly installed in the torch, preventing the unit from firing if the setup is unsafe.

Built to withstand harsh industrial environments, the Tomahawk 1500 carries an IP23 rating, ensuring resistance to moisture and debris, making it suitable for both indoor shop floors and outdoor field sites. The integrated internal water separator and air regulator simplify setup and ensure the air supply remains clean and dry, which is vital for maintaining consumable life and cut quality. With its ability to run on single or three-phase power ranging from 200V to 575V, this machine offers exceptional versatility for facilities with varying power infrastructures.
