1 The TransCut 300 plasma cutting system - Plasmacutting with liquid working medium Speaker Sector Company Street Town

2 Excellent portability with the TransCut 300 plasma cutting system Compact, portable (14.6 kg) plasma cutting system for manual use No compressed air supply needed - technological breakthrough using liquid instead of gas Ready for operation in the blink of an eye Cuts conventional metals up to a recommended sheet thickness of 6 mm, cutting up to 10 mm Better working environment thanks to low emissions One tank is enough for roughly 3 hours' non-stop cutting (this corresponds to a period of 1 month in a typical construction site)

3 "TransCut"- comparison with standard products on the market 230V 14.6 kg "Green cutting" Liquid medium 230V 230V Compressed air 21 kg 8-25 kg Air plasma - integrated compressor Air plasma - external compressor

4 The basics - thermal separation process & areas of application FLAME CUTTING PLASMA CUTTING LASER CUTTING Sheet thickness [mm]

5 The basics The principle of plasma cutting Thermal cutting process Plasma cutting nozzle Plasma gas Electrode (cathode) Constricted arc (plasma jet) Feed direction Plasma jet Highly concentrated energy melts material Melted material is blown out of the kerf Molten material Kerf

6 The basics Guiding the arc Steam Steam Non-transferred (indirect) arc Transferred (direct) arc

7 The basics The four elemental states Solid Energy applied Liquid Water Energy applied Gaseous Steam Energy applied Plasma Plasma

8 The TransCut 300 functional principle Using liquid instead of gas State of aggregation of the cutting medium: Heat sources: Heating element Liquid Vaporising Cathode Cutting nozzle Vaporised Plasma

10 The CTW 300 plasma cutting torch Spacer Protective cap Cutting nozzle Cathode Safety torch button

11 The plasma cutting torch in detail Features Easier to use thanks to ergonomically shaped handles... rapid nozzle change, no need for tools... User-friendly contact ignition (pilot arc)... integral pressure and temperature sensors... new regenerative cooling Special safety features provide increased protection Protective cap monitoring means safe replacement of wearing parts Safety catch prevents unintentional ignition

12 The plasma cutting power source Suitable for building sites thanks to its robust design and IP 23 protection Generator-compatible (required generator power 8 kva) and suitable for use with long power cables (min. 2.5 mm²) Optimised for single-phase grid (sinusoidal current input) Stable arc thanks to modern inverter technology with Resonant Intelligence High operational reliability thanks to overtemperature protection Easy to use

13 The plasma cutting power source in detail Liquid supply Integral tank for liquid working medium "TransCut Liquid" A pump in the cutting device feeds the cutting medium to the torch and builds up the required operating pressure Fill level sensor for cutting medium Designed to be easy to carry, the cutting medium cannot escape "TransCut Liquid" is delivered in practical cartridges

14 The plasma cutting power source in detail Filling the tank 1. Open protective cover 2. Click cartridge into place 3. Fill tank by pressing lightly on the cartridge

15 The plasma cutting power source in detail Control panel Error Overtemperature Fill level Torch Ready Cutting current Fill Mode

18 Cutting surfaces compared The liquid working medium contains no nitrogen. This prevents nitriding of the cut edges and reduces the risk of pore formation during the next welding session TransCut 300 Air plasma allows the cut surfaces to nitride and oxidise more heavily Air plasma Material: stainless steel
