Smart Technology for Better Cuts

The AirForce 27i is packed with intelligent features designed to make your job easier and your machine last longer.

• Power Factor Correction (PFC): Expands your work area by allowing the use of extension cords without tripping breakers, drawing less amperage for the same output.
• Wind Tunnel Technology: Protects internal components from dust and debris, significantly increasing reliability.
• Fan-On-Demand: Reduces noise and energy use by running the fan only when the machine gets hot.
• LVC (Line Voltage Compensation): Keeps your arc steady even if your input power isn't, ensuring clean cuts every time.
