NEW UC SERIES OF THERMAL DYNAMICS® AUTOMATED HIGH PRECISION PLASMA SYSTEMS SETS A NEW BENCHMARK ON PERFORMANCE AND OVERALL ROBUSTNESS Thermal Dynamics^® Automation’s new UC Series of high-precision automated plasma power supplies features 4 models offering cutting power ranging from 130 up to 800 Ampere for maximum productivity, cut quality and reliability for piercing mild steel up to 50 mm (90 mm edge start) and stainless steel up to 100 mm (160 mm edge start). “The new UC series delivers development work from the last two years to cut faster, better and smarter,” says Dirk Ott, VP – Global Plasma Automation, Thermal Dynamics. “For example, two UC 201, UC 301 or UC 401 can now be connected double cutting output to 400, 600 or 800 amps, respectively, or they can operate independently. Furthermore, the QuickPierce technology dramatically improves very thick mild steel cutting performance, making the new UC series the ideal choice for heavy duty applications.” Target applications for the paralleling capability include fabricators and steel services centers that use two torches on the same gantry and want to increase cutting speeds on steel plates up to 2-in. (50 mm) thick. It also lets fabricators cut stainless steel and aluminum sections up to 6.25 in. (160 mm) for applications in the power generation, pressure vessel, windmills, chemical and petrochemical processing industries. To double a torch’s cutting output, users need to change the SpeedLok™ consumables cartridge, which takes less than a minute. The UC systems are equipped with a modernized inverter block with state-of-the-art power switching components for fine control of the cutting process and proven reliability, an LED strip for an at-a-glance assessment of machine status and an optional WiFi communication for Industry 4.0 (IoT) applications. HOST OF NEW FEATURE

• Bevel wear parts.The consumables cartridges are now all the same length for easier setup when beveling cutting. Users can cut bevel angles up to 45 degrees on material thickness from 1/4 to 2 in. (6 to 50mm) on mild steel and up to 4 in. (100 mm) on stainless steel.
• Complete set of parts for underwater cutting, which reduces smoke and glare to create better working environment.
• Improved XT torch head designprovides accurate parts alignment for better tolerances.
• QuickPierce consumables offer outstanding 300 A and 400A piercing and parts life performance, reducing piercing time by up to 40 percent on mild steel thicknesses ranging from 1 to 2-in. (25 to 50 mm).
• EtherCat (optional) and wireless connection capabilities Industry 4.0-ready.EtherCat delivers faster connection to a CNC for uploading and downloading data. The new TD 4.0 App (available for IOS and Android) devices offers full process setting and troubleshooting support and makes retrofits and robotic installations easier.
• Now with 3-year warrantyon the power supply.

Thermal Dynamics brings intelligence to the automated plasma table with a suite of fully-integrated components that enable users to orchestrate the fastest cut, best cut and lowest cost per cut regardless of operator experience. Click here to download PDF
