Reason #12 to choose DE-STA-CO:

Our new 2000 Series Horizontal Hold-Down Action Clamps
provide unmatched performance and ergonomics.

Portable plasma cutter

The Spectrum^®375

X-TREME™ plasma cutter from Miller Electric Mfg. Co. weighs 18 lbs. but provides the cutting capacity of machines twice its size, the company reports.

The operator selects the correct ( 115 V/15 amps or 230V/50 amps) Multi-Voltage Plug (MVP™) for the power supply and connects it to the power cord. The plug can be switched in seconds without the need for tools.

Rated for ³⁄ 8 in. on mild steel and ¹⁄ 4 in. on aluminum, the plasma cutter is designed for maintenance and HVAC applications, as well as construction applications such as notching I-beams and cutting steel studs, steel roofs, and sheet metal. At 6 IPM, the unit can cut ¹⁄2-in. mild steel.

An internal filter and factory-set regulator eliminate the need for the operator to adjust the air pressure. Once connected to a 90-PSI-mini- mum air compressor, the unit automatically regulates internal air pressure to the torch. A standard air connection on the back panel provides for gas or air hookup.

The company’s Auto-Line™ technology automatically connects to 115- to 230-V, single-phase power. It also adjusts for spikes or losses in input voltage levels while maintaining a constant cutting arc with little or no cutting capacity loss.

CAM software

SmartCAMcnc has added the ACIS^®3-D modeling kernel from Spatial Technologies and the OpenGL 3-D graphics interface to its SmartCAM V14 applications, providing solid-model import, export, and display capability. System requirements have been upgraded in support of these enhancements.

The addition of the modeling engine gives users the ability to work directly from ACIS solids or IGES surface models. The industry-standard graphics provide users with dynamic viewing and shaded surface picking of solid models in the main graphics window.
