The Lockformer VulcanPlus Sheet Metal Plasma Cutting System is the benchmark in plasma cutting systems. Loaded with features for unmatched accuracy and precision, this system also has a capacity of 3/8″ and 1/2″ mild steel with a positioning speed of 3,000 IPM Max — the fastest cutting, positioning, and traversing times in the industry. The fixture-welded 3 x 3 steel tube construction ensures the frame will be as perfectly aligned today it will be years from now. The virtually indestructible plug-in components are standard and everything is protected — motors and drive systems are never exposed. Plus, the three (3) servo motors, planetary gears, and single-shaft belt are the most accurate in the industry.
Easy to Use
- Easy to identify one-piece cartridge consumables are color-coded by process to eliminate parts mix-up and simplify consumable inventory management.
- New SmartSYNC™ torches with the Hypertherm cartridge automatically set the correct amperage and operating mode, eliminating setup errors.
- End of life detection lets the operator know when it’s time to change the cartridge.
Minimizes Operating Costs
- Simplified operation minimizes downtime, troubleshooting, waste and training time.
- Advanced cartridge consumable design provides up to twice the life for hand cutting and improved quality over life in mechanized setups compared to standard consumables.
- Access cartridge data for performance tracking, analyzing usage patterns.
