OVERVIEW

Industrial Automated Plasma Cutting Solution

The Thermal Dynamics Cutmaster A40i is a premier choice for light to medium-duty automated cutting applications. Engineered to deliver precision and reliability, this 40-amp plasma system is built on the legacy of the industry-leading Cutmaster TRUE Series. It is specifically designed for integration with CNC cutting tables, offering a seamless interface and robust performance that industrial environments demand.

At the heart of the A40i is its intelligent design, featuring a high 80% duty cycle at full amperage, allowing for extended cutting runs without overheating. The unit comes equipped with the renowned SL100SV 1Torch, which utilizes standard ATC (Advanced Torch Connector) technology for quick and easy torch swaps. The 50-foot torch lead provides ample reach for larger cutting tables, ensuring flexibility in setup and operation. With a recommended pierce capacity of 1/2 inch (12mm) and a maximum severance of 1 inch (25mm), the A40i handles mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum with ease.

Reliability is paramount in automation. The A40i features a software-controlled gas optimizer that ensures the best cut quality and consumable life. The Auto-Pilot Restart function is a critical feature for cutting expanded metal or grating, instantly re-firing the pilot arc without stopping the machine motion. Housed in a durable case with the signature True Guard roll bar, this unit is protected against the rigors of the shop floor while remaining lightweight enough for easy repositioning.

FAQ

The Cutmaster A40i has a recommended production pierce capacity of 1/2 inch (12mm) on mild steel.

This specific package (1-5635-1) comes with the SL100SV Automated (Machine) Torch with a 50-foot lead. It is designed for mechanized applications.

The A40i features auto-voltage detection and operates on 208V to 480V, single-phase power (50/60 Hz).

Yes, the unit comes with a CNC interface port and the necessary cable to connect to your cutting table controller for Start/Stop and Arc Transfer signals.

The SL100SV uses standard Thermal Dynamics 1Torch consumables. Common parts include the 9-8215 electrode and 9-8210 start cartridge.

While the power source supports manual cutting if a hand torch is attached, this specific SKU includes a machine torch intended for automated use. You would need to purchase a separate SL60 or SL100 hand torch for manual operation.

The Cutmaster A40i is rated at an 80% duty cycle at 40 Amps, allowing for long duration cuts in production environments.

No, the SL100SV torch uses a 'Start Cartridge' design (Blowback technology) to initiate the pilot arc without high-frequency interference, which is safer for CNC electronics.
