Hobart AirForce 40i Plasma Cutter

Powerful performance in a lightweight package.

With up to 40 amps of power, the Airforce 40i can clean cut 5/8-inch and sever cut 7/8-inch steel. It runs on 120-volt or 240-volt power using toolless MVP adapters, so it’s excellent for light and heavy industrial users. At 21 pounds, it’s easy to transport from one job to another. Setup is easy too; quickly adjust the amperage on the front of the machine with the single knob design

Features:

• Small lightweight design: At just 21 pounds (9.5 kg) the shoulder strap allows the end user to easily move from location to location.
• MVP adapters: Allow connection to 120 or 240 V receptacles without tools—choose the adapter cord with the right plug that fits the receptacle, and connect it to the power cord with the L6-30R twist lock.
• XT40R torch: Increased comfort with an ergonomic trigger safety, more efficient cooling and economical replacement cutting tips. 
• Pilot arc controller: Allows you to cut expanded/perforated metals, as well as painted or coated surfaces, without retriggering the torch.
• Wind Tunnel Technology™: Prevents abrasive dust and particles from damaging internal components.
• Fan-On-Demand™: Cooling system operates only when needed, reducing power consumption and contaminants drawn into the machine.
• LVC™ line voltage compensation: Provides peak performance power under variable input voltage conditions (±15%) for steady and cleaner-ending cuts.
• Internal gas/air filter and regulator: Controls amount of usage and flow of air or gas.
• Postflow cooling circuit: Extends life of consumables and torch by cooling them with postflow air after trigger is released.
• Automatic gouging consumable detection: Adjusts gas pressure to optimize performance, eliminating the need for a manual regulator.
• Compatible with engine-driven welders: Complete cutting capability when powered by an engine-driven welder/generator with a 240 V receptacle of 8 kW or more.
• Hobart 5/3/1 industrial warranty: Five-year warranty on transformers, stabilizers and main rectifiers; three years on generators, PC boards and drive systems; and one year on guns (MIG, plasma and TIG torches).
