Processes.
The table below describes specifications related to the Oxy-Fuel and Plasma attachments. The Oxy-Fuel attachment always comes with the standard torch, and the heavy-duty torch can be purchased separately. The Plasma attachment does not come with a plasma cutter or torch, cutting specifications are provided for an 85 amp plasma cutter for comparison purposes.
| Specification | Oxy-fuel | Plasma |
|---|---|---|
| Attachment weight | 8 lb (3.6 kg) | 1 lb (0.45 kg) |
| Materials | Mild steel | Mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum |
| Max piercing | 3 in (76 mm) standard torch 6 in (152 mm) heavy-duty torch | 3/4 in (19 mm) |
| Severance | 6 in (152 mm) at 6 in/min standard torch 12 in (305 mm) at 4 in/min heavy-duty torch | 1-1/4 in (32 mm) at 24 in/min |
| Min thickness | 1/16 in (1.6 mm) at 27 in/min | 10 ga (3.4 mm) at 150 in/min |
| Gas / source | Acetylene, propylene, propane, natural gas | Hypertherm Powermax85 performance depends on your plasma cutter; CNC-compatible cutter not included |
Your own cutter sets the real numbers, so check yours against the Mach 1 first: Plasma compatibility checker
Universal Arm.
All Mach 1s include the Universal Arm which holds tooling in a fixed position perpendicular to the arm. The standard Universal Arm can hold most torches and tools, and a grip extender can be added to increase the maximum diameter to account for wider torches like the Hypertherm Powermax 125 or Maxpro200 machine torches.
- Degrees of freedom
- 3
- Standard tool diameter
- 0.75"–1.25" (19–32 mm)
- Tool diameter with grip extender
- 0.75"–1.75" (19–44 mm)
Sabre arm.
The Sabre is what takes the machine from 3 degrees of freedom to 5. The Sabre allows you to manually set the torch at an angle with respect to the Mach 1. When connected to the Mach 1, the entire Sabre head automatically rotates to achieve complicated bevel cuts at the fixed angle.
- Degrees of freedom
- 3 from the Mach 1, 2 additional with the Sabre
- Arm length, pivot to pivot
- 17 in (432 mm)
- Tool rotation
- 360° continuous
- Weight
- 3 lb (1.4 kg)
- Max bevel angle (oxy-fuel)
- 52.5°
- Max bevel angle (plasma)
- 45°
- Max bevel angle (Hypertherm MaxPro)
- 37.5°
What the Sabre is for, and the bevels it cuts: The Sabre
Arm dropper.
An accessory spacer to bring the arm closer to the material when using mounting bases or the Sabre arm.
- Downward offset per Arm Dropper
- 2" (5 cm)
- Modularity
- Arm Droppers can be stacked on top of each other
Bases.
Every Mach 1 has an electromagnet base integrated into the bottom of the machine. The Talon mounting system lets the Mach 1 attach to various materials in various positions.
| Specification | Electromagnet Standard | Plate Talon | Pipe Talon | Vacuum Talon |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mount type | Integrated electromagnet | Switchable permanent-magnet base | Switchable permanent-magnet base (pivoting) | Pump-action vacuum base |
| Max holding force | 390 lb (177 kg) measured on clean 1/4" (6 mm) flat plate | 1,000 lb (454 kg) measured on 1/4" (6 mm) thick steel | 1,200 lb (544 kg) measured on 1/4" (6 mm) thick steel | 420 lb (191 kg) measured on non-porous rigid material |
| Mounting surface Rated under optimal material conditions. | Flat ferrous metal | Flat ferrous metal | Ferrous metal 6" (15 cm) and greater in diameter | Flat smooth surfaces |
| Effective height offset | - | 1.8" (4.7 cm) | 3.2" (8.1 cm) | 2.0" (5 cm) |
| Weight | Included in Mach 1 | 9.5 lb (4.3 kg) | 8 lb (3.6 kg) | 12.7 lb (5.8 kg) |
| Operation | Switch on the Mach 1 | Mechanical on/off lever | Mechanical on/off lever | Manual pump with visual indicator band |
| Mounting orientations When mounting vertical or inverted it's recommended to have a redundant tether fastened to the Mach 1. | Flat | Flat, vertical, and inverted | Flat, vertical, and inverted | Flat |
The add-on bases raise the machine, so they are usually quoted together with the arm dropper above.
Oxy-fuel torch.
When an Oxy-Fuel attachment is purchased either as a standalone item, or part of a Mach 1 Oxy-Fuel Kit, the standard S-100 Koike torch is included. Any 3 barrel oxy-fuel torch can be used with the Mach 1, and for applications where a longer reach or thicker plate is needed, it's recommended to purchase the Heavy Duty Oxy-Fuel Torch.
| Specification | Standard | Heavy-Duty |
|---|---|---|
| Torch length | 5.0 in (127 mm) | 16.5 in (419 mm) |
| Cutting thickness | 1/16"–5" (1.5–127 mm) | 1/8"–10" (3–254 mm) |
| Cutting tips | Koike 100-series | Koike 100-series |
| Fuel gases | Acetylene, propane, natural gas, and most other fuel gases | Acetylene, propane, natural gas, and most other fuel gases |
| Hose connection | B-type (9/16-18 UNF), RHT/LHT | B-type (9/16-18 UNF), RHT/LHT |
