Change of direction made for plasma cutting

A TPS-Fronius product story
Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team Oct 6, 2005

Instead of gas, a liquid is the starting medium for a new plasma cutting process that provides unlimited mobility and reduced emissions of harmful substances.

Liquid instead of gas is the starting medium for the new plasma cutting process from Fronius.

One advantage is the unlimited mobility.

Another is reduced emissions of harmful substances.

The plasma cutting system makes the workplace more pleasant.

TransCut 300 is therefore not just the product name of the new plasma cutting system, it is also the generic term for a brand new cutting technology.

It signals the start of a new development trend: mobile, generator-compatible systems will have a significant impact on cutting processes in the field.

In future, environmentally-friendly and healthier 'green' cutting will become the norm in all aspects of the metal-working industry.

Compared to compressed air or gas, liquid demonstrates some clear benefits.

It requires very little space, so can easily be stored on site.

There is no longer any need for a connection for the cutting gas or compressed air.

As emissions are conspicuously low, the liquid medium helps facilitate a 'green' cutting environment.

This becomes even more significant when one remembers that the relevant EU committees are about to announce significant reductions in workplace emission limits.

Pleasant working conditions in a healthy working environment contributes to an improved quality of life.

TransCut 300, the smallest and at less than 14kg the lightest plasma cutting system in its class is generator compatible.

All it needs is a 230V supply and will then cut steel, aluminium or high-alloy (stainless) steel up to 12mm thick.
