When the job calls for slicing through massive steel slabs, professional fabricators and plant managers turn to the ESAB Oxweld PM-200 Machine Cutting Torch. This isn't just a torch; it's a heavy-duty instrument built for the toughest automated cutting tables in the world. With the ability to sever steel up to 40 inches thick, the PM-200 is the powerhouse you need for processing ingots, risers, and heavy plate. The 2218800 model comes with a substantial 33-1/2 inch length and a solid 2-inch barrel, ensuring that once it's clamped into your machine, it stays perfectly aligned for precise cuts shift after shift.
One of the biggest concerns in oxy-fuel cutting is safety, specifically the danger of flashbacks. The Oxweld PM-200 mitigates this risk entirely through its post-mix technology. By mixing the preheat fuel and oxygen outside the nozzle rather than inside the torch tubes, ESAB has created a system where flashbacks cannot propagate back into the equipment. This design not only protects the operator and the machinery but also simplifies operation, making it trouble-free even under the intense heat and pressure of thick-section cutting. It allows you to focus on the cut quality rather than worrying about equipment failure.
Machine downtime kills profitability, which is why the PM-200 is designed to keep running. The high stand-off height is a favorite feature among operators because it keeps the high-speed cutting tips away from the blowback and slag, significantly reducing the frequency of tip cleaning and replacement. Compatible with convection, air, or water-cooling systems, this torch adapts to your specific shop environment to maintain optimal operating temperatures. While the post-mix design means it is not intended for piercing plates, its performance in shape cutting and automatic cut-off from an edge is unmatched. Equip your automation setup with the Oxweld PM-200 and experience the reliability of a true industrial legend.
