Sherman CUTTER 40 plasma cutter, 34 A, 230 V

Sherman CUTTER 40 is a MOSFET plasma cutter for steel, aluminium, copper and other electrically conductive metal workpieces. Its 14–34 A adjustable current allows the setting to be matched to material, thickness and travel speed.

The machine uses a single-phase 230 V, 50 Hz supply. The maximum stated cutting thickness is 9 mm and the rated duty cycle is 34 A / 60%. An external compressed-air source is required.

Torch and arc ignition

The integrated PT-31 torch has a 5 m lead and contact arc ignition. A built-in air preparation unit with regulator and pressure gauge allows the supplied air pressure to be set and monitored.

Compressed-air supply

The catalogue lists an air requirement of 200 l/min. Supply clean, dry air and set the working pressure specified in the individual machine’s instructions. Select the compressor by delivered airflow at operating pressure, allowing for hose and filter losses.

Cutting limits and duty cycle

9 mm is the maximum stated thickness under optimum conditions; actual results depend on metal type, workpiece thickness, travel speed and torch consumable condition. Check the required cut quality on a sample. The 34 A / 60% duty cycle means 6 minutes of cutting followed by 4 minutes of cooling within a 10-minute cycle, under the manufacturer’s specified conditions.
