About Thermacut Funcție Principală: Torță cu Plasmă

Text Carte: Thermacut este o torță cu plasmă concepută pentru tăierea metalului. Torța face parte dintr-un sistem de tăiere cu plasmă care utilizează gaz și electricitate pentru a crea o flacără de 20000 de grade Celsius, tăind oțel cu o grosime de până la 40 de milimetri. Mânerul ergonomic permite mai multe poziții de prindere. Torța poate fi ținută cu palma închisă în jurul mânerului sau cu degetul mare sprijinit pe partea superioară a mânerului. Un trăgaci de siguranță previne acționarea neintenționată. Carcasa principală este realizată din plastic prin turnare prin injecție, iar alte componente sunt fabricate din cupru, alamă, oțel, ceramică și cauciuc.

Unique Properties: Thermacut plasma torch brings new design of handle for comfortable cutting the metals by plasma arc technology. This ergonomic handle is one part of complex plasma cutting system powered by aggregate which uses gas and electricity to create high temperature flame 20.000 celsius degree to cut metal materials up to 40mm thick. The handle includes safety trigger and offers multiple ways of holding for plasma operators. You can hold device with closed palm around handle or with the thumb on the top of the handle.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width 256mm x Depth 39mm x Height 148mm

Production Technology: Plasma torch consists from metal technology parts which are made of copper, grass and steel. Main case is made of plastic using injection molding technology for mass production. Another parts are made of ceramic, rubber, etc.
Design Challenge: The bigger challenge of whole development process was the fusion of design styling and technology inside that device. We tried to find optimal solution how to connect well looking product with perfect ergonomic feature and production quality. Another challenge was fitting all technology parts into tight plastic case.
Research: The plasma torch Thermacut is product by worldwide producer of plasma cutting systems for manufacturing industry with more than 25 years experience in this industry. Thermacut Extrafire brings new design of handle construction for comfortable cutting the metals by plasma arc technology. This ergonomic handle is one part of complex plasma cutting system powered by aggregate which uses gas and electricity to create high temperature flame 20.000°C. Plastic handle is a shell for plasma cutting torch assembly that carries plasma consumables. Handle with torch body is connected with plasma power supply that delivers current for torch operation. This torch and handle is designed for air cutting applications and works up to 105Amp cutting steel materials up to 40mm thick. Ergonomic handle offers multiple ways of holding for plasma operators. The operator can hold torch ordinarily with closed palm around handle or with the thumb on the top of the handle using special thumb rest spot as support for better leading the torch during cutting process. The handle includes safety trigger to turn the torch on only when operator wants and can not cause injury of operator.
Inspiration: New product design comes from previous series partly and brings new attitude of dynamic ergonomic construction. Body shape with new proportion is more comfortable to hold and opperate during work process. The handle offers more options how to hold device in hand due to organic form and rigorously defined grip fields.
Project Duration: The project development of technology and design started in December 2015 in Zlin district in Czech Republic and finished in May 2020 in Czech Republic.
Operation Flow: Plasma torch uses high temperature flame to cut steel and another metal materials up to 40mm thick. Due to ergonomic handle it is easy and comfy to operate this device safely and correctly. 20.000 celsius degree flame comes into being via ionization of gas nad electricity. Plasma cutting is used in industry mainly, but is available for home improvements and work as well.
