Thermal Dynamics High Precision Cutting
 

Machines that make the cut…

Thermal Dynamics creates the most advanced automated plasma equipment on the market. Their cutting solutions are designed to give you superior performance – and to help you keep more money in your pocket. From low-cost A-Series plasma systems to high-precision Ultra-Cut XT plasma systems, all Thermal Dynamics products can be fully integrated to provide higher quality, maximum efficiency, and the lowest total cost of ownership on the market.

Thermal Dynamics Process Solutions

  • Precision Cutting for Mild Steel: UC Series high precision plasma systems offer the highest degree of precision available for mild steel today. When used with the XTremeLife™ or Ultra-Cool™ consumables, you can maintain the highest cut performance and the longest part life.
  • Precision Cutting for Aluminum & Stainless Steel: Water Mist Secondary offers the best plasma cut quality possible on stainless and aluminum. It is a low cost solution, as well. By using N2/H20 instead of H35/N2 gas, the expense of gas is reduced, cut speed is increased, and distortion and the heat-affected zone are minimized. The result is a clean, dross-free and nitrate-free cut surface that's ready to weld, form and paint.
  • Integrated Controller: A state-of-the-art Integrated Controller offers high precision cutting performance, as well as exceptional ease of use. A high precision UC Series Auto Gas plasma system uses the iCNC systems and an integrated precision Torch Height Control to provide a single controller point for all plasma and motion parameters.
  • Diameter Pro®: A Thermal Dynamics® integrated plasma system delivers the dynamic real-time process control required to make quality cuts consistently. Diameter PRO™ is the ideal process when you're cutting holes in mild steel from a 1:1 or greater diameter to thickness ratio on 10 gauge (3 mm) to 1" (25 mm). Diameter PRO combines simplicity with advanced iCNC Performance® controller intelligence to allow cutting "optimized" holes automatically, with the click of a button.
  • Plasma Marking: UC Series systems are capable of plasma marking on mild steel and non-ferrous materials. In order to get solid markings, argon is used to produce a clean, clear line, which is easy to read and will remain visible indefinitely.
  • Robotics and Beveling: Smaller, lighter and with optimized consumable parts, the XTR Robotic Torch installs easily to a robot without any loss of accuracy or performance. This torch is designed with built-in torch leads that offer reduced weight, flexibility and robustness, which makes it extremely durable in repeated articulated motions. Both the consumable parts and torch body are engineered to precisely lock into place for absolute alignment, and to remain perfectly positioned cut after cut.
  • Air Plasma: Auto-Cut XT systems are excellent, cost-effective machines for cutting gauge material up to 2" plates and are available in 200 & 300 Amp packages. The systems are built for the toughest environments and designed to run at a low cost of operation. Auto-Cut XT power supplies can also be run with a variety of plasma gases, such as air for mild steel. The A-Series family (A40, A60, A80 and A120) also offers excellent cut quality in a lightweight, economical package featuring a premium single gas, air plasma torch.
  • Consumables: Thermal Dynamics® XTremeLife technology delivers the long consumable parts life and high precision cut quality on mild steel that shops want. It delivers excellent consumable parts life over the entire cutting range. XTremeLife consumables are made to fit the precision XT-Torch. The XT-Torch makes changing cartridges fast and easy—a couple of twists and the unique retaining collar threads release the cartridge. And unlike other torches, no tools are required to change either the torch consumables or major components in the torch head. Downtime is reduced to seconds and you change from one process to another or from one application to another quickly and easily.

Thermal Dynamics Plasma Systems

  • A-Series: The A-Series includes the SL100® SV 1Torch® with standard ATC Quick Disconnect in lengths of 25 ft. (7.6 m), 35 ft. (10.7 m) and 50 ft. (15.2 m) (Longer torch leads up to 100 ft. (30.5 m) available). The 1Torch start technology eliminates the electronic interference that can occur with other designs. 1Torch provides quick, reliable starts and a strong pilot arc to pierce heavy plate. With auto-pilot restart, it can also cut expanded metal quickly and easily. With all the advantages of 1Torch and proven reliability, the automated A-Series delivers the best in productivity, precision and performance.
  • iHC XT: The Height Control that Knows Your Plasma Processes With the Intelligent Height Control iHC XT, simply confirm the system has the material, thickness and amps you are using to cut your next work. The intelligent iHC XT takes care of the rest – no more incorrect settings or operator errors.
  • UC High Precision Plasma System: Increase your cutting efficiency. UC Series High-Precision automated plasma cutting power sources offer unprecedented profitability and performance. UC Series systems achieve outstanding cut quality with narrow kerf widths and a smooth cut surface. Integrated control of torch consumables, gas flow and cutting parameters result in cut quality range 3° or better (according to ISO 9013).
  • Auto-Cut XT: The Auto-Cut XT systems deliver the next step in flexibility and reliability in heavy plate cutting applications. Auto-Cut 200 XT & 300 XT systems deliver premium cut performance on both mild steel and non-ferrous metals.
  • Precision 130 Plasma System: The Precision 130 High Definition Plasma System combines economic efficiency with uncompromising quality. This system, featuring a water-cooled torch and oxygen cutting, offers a cost-effective solution without sacrificing the premium features of a comprehensive high precision system.

Thermal Dynamics iCNC Performance

  • Integrated plasma systems have revolutionized the high-end, high-capacity, automated plasma cutting industry. Today, Thermal Dynamics’ iCNC Performancee makes it possible to build low-cost machines with high-end, professional performance that until now have been unavailable.
