Highlights
The machines in the Plasma-Jet AirPro compact series offer good cutting quality with minimal operating costs. These economical cutting systems for air plasma sources were developed as a cost-effective solution for custom and small-series manufacturing; their compact design and low footprint makes them the perfect choice for workshops. The machines in this series are easy to operate and extremely reliable.
- Compact design, fast setup
- For air plasma sources by Hypertherm or Kjellberg (optional)
- EtherCAT technology for best CNC performance
- Professional Nesting Software solution included
- With vacuum table, also optional water cutting table
Product Details
Construction
- The one-piece design with guides built into the table frame allows the system to be transported while assembled and guarantees fast and easy start-up
- The cutting table is configured initially with a vacuum exhaust, or systems can also optionally be equipped with a water cutting table
- For highest efficiency of the optional vacuum and filter system, the work area is vacuumed in segments, mechanically switched by the moving machine bridge
- The material support grid consists of exchangeable arched flat steel elements
Guideways and Drives
- The selection of components used guarantees high cutting functionality and process safety
- The machine bridge is driven synchronously from both sides and travels with high dynamics and no oscillation torque
- Powerful servomotors guarantee precision contours, with no-maintenance, no-play planetary gears and precise helical gear drives
- The high-quality linear guides on all axes are robust and accurate, easy to maintain and long-lived
The cutting systems can be equipped with plasma sources from the Hypertherm Powermax or Kjellberg CutFire series. (see Options)
Cutting capacity
- Kjellberg CutFire 100i: cutting up to 40mm, grooving up to 20 mm
- Hypertherm Powermax 125: cutting up to 44 mm , grooving up to 25 mm
Cutting head
- The distance between plasma cutting nozzle and plate surface is determined by the Z axis height setting, which is controlled by an electric arc
- A built-in sensor-controlled collision guard prevents damage to machine and workpiece
- A magnetic coupling facilitates plasma burner setup and maintenance work

Controls & Software
PULSER 3 CNC unit
- The PULSER 3 CNC control with 15” touchscreen is designed for modern cutting applications and easy to operate.
- EtherCAT fieldbus, the modern industrial Ethernet technology, makes cutting systems faster and more reliable. As the central element in the control architecture, it plays a decisive role in the performance and durability of the entire system.
- Depending on the optional plasma source selected, ProNest LT Essentials or the IBE cncCut Nest Software is included as standard equipment.
Optional Plasma Sources
1/ Hypertherm Powermax 125 Plasma Source
Maximum productivity
- Considerably faster progress with 5x higher cutting speeds compared to oxy-fuel cutting in 12 mm structural steel
- Grinding and edge preparation take considerably less time due to the excellent cutting and gouging quality
- Maximize your cutting time with 100% uptime
Low operating cost
- Lower your cost due to 4x longer consumable life compared to other systems in this class
- End of electrode life is automatically detected and power is cut off upon electrode overload to protect torch and workpiece from damages
Easy to use for cutting and gouging
- No need to adjust the air pressure. Smart Sense™ technology ensures that the air pressure is always set correctly
- Various easy-to-use torch types for different tasks are available
Developed and tested for use in harsh environments
- Duramax® Hyamp™ torches are designed with high impact strength and high temperature resistance
- SpringStart™ technology ensures consistent starting and a more reliable torch
- Minimal maintenance requirement ensures maximum uptime
Cutting capacity
- Recommended thickness 38 mm Cutting speed 457 mm/min
- Severing cut thickness 44 mm Cutting speed 250 mm/min
- Severing cut (in manual operation) thickness 57 mm Cutting speed 125 mm/min
- Plunge-cut thickness 25 mm
2/ Kjellberg CutFire 100i Plasma Source
- The CutFire 100i is a powerful air/plasma system available at low cost, but suitable for wide variety of applications.
- It is equipped with the latest inverter technology and is one of the few air-cooled systems on the market that offers a duty cycle of 100%.
- The cutting inverters CutFire 100i built in or after 2017 are equipped with the new Flash 101 machine torch. With its new consumables the torch uses air as swirl gas. The air rotating around the plasma arc stabilizes the arc to allow up to 20 mm deep piercing cuts.
- The cooling and protective effect of the swirl gas ensures higher cutting speeds and longer consumable life.
- The CutFire 100i is ideally suited for cutting thin sheets for ventilation systems and control cabinet construction, metal building applications, as well as many other craft, production and industrial operations.
CutFire 100i Advantages:
- Swirl gas technology
- Cutting up to 40 mm
- Piercing up to 20 mm
- Precision cutting up to 3 mm
- Higher piercing safety
- New consumables
- High cutting speeds
- Electrical contact for finding the initial position (Option)
Note: All specified cutting and piercing depths are dependent on the material as well as the cutting technology and guide system
