1-2243 - Thermal Dynamics PAK 200i Mechanized Plasma System 480V

Heavy-Duty Industrial Plasma Cutting System

The Thermal Dynamics PAK 200i is a premier high-amperage plasma cutting system designed for the most demanding industrial environments. Engineered for automated applications, this unit (SKU: 1-2243) comes equipped with a 180-degree machine torch and 25-foot leads, making it an ideal power source for CNC tables, pipe cutters, and robotic cells. Operating on 480V 3-phase power, the PAK 200i delivers a massive 200 Amps of cutting current, capable of severing mild steel up to 2-3/4 inches (70mm) thick and maintaining production-quality cuts on 1-1/2 inch (40mm) plate.

Reliability is paramount in heavy manufacturing, and the PAK 200i addresses this with a 100% duty cycle at full output. This allows for continuous operation without thermal shutdowns, maximizing throughput in shipyards, structural steel plants, and heavy fabrication shops. The system utilizes liquid cooling for the torch, which significantly enhances consumable life by dissipating heat more effectively than air-cooled alternatives. This results in lower operating costs and reduced downtime for consumable changes.

The unit features advanced dual-gas capability, allowing operators to select the optimal gas mix (Air, Oxygen, Nitrogen, or Argon-Hydrogen) for the material being cut. This versatility ensures superior edge quality on stainless steel and aluminum, not just mild steel. The 'Tip Saver' technology further protects your investment by preventing the arc from striking if the consumables are not properly seated or if gas flow is insufficient, preventing catastrophic torch failure.

Integration is straightforward with standard CNC interface connections. The 180-degree straight barrel torch is designed for precise mounting and alignment. With its rugged inverter architecture, the PAK 200i provides excellent electrical efficiency and a stable arc, ensuring smooth, dross-free cuts that minimize secondary processing.
