CHARLESTON, SC – NOVEMBER 9, 2007 – Pushing plasma cutting to the next level, KALIBURN unveils the new Spirit400a at the 2007 FABTECH International & AWS Welding Show. The industry’s first 400 amp high current density plasma cutting system, the Spirit400a delivers 80kw of precision plasma muscle that will deliver a quick return-on-investment due to significant increases in productivity.

KALIBURN has engineered the Spirit400a to fill a void in the industry for high amperage plasma cutting that achieves greater capacity and output. Rated 400 amps at 200 volts, 100 percent duty cycle, the Spirit 400a can pierce and production cut steel up to 2” (50 mm) thick and process 1” (25 mm) thick steel at speeds of up to 85 ipm. The system maintains KALIBURN’s exceptional cut edge quality (≤ 2o bevel), delivering square and virtually dross free edges.

“This is our most advanced product yet that combines our latest technologies with exceptional power to meet the highest demands of production shops,” commented Steven F. Hardwick, President of KALIBURN. “We’re consistently looking for ways to make our products better, and I think users will say that we’ve hit the mark with the Spirit400a when they experience its speed and precision.”

The Spirit400a features KALIBURN’s new Hafnium Optimizing Technology (HfOT™), which drastically extends electrode life and helps improve overall cut quality and consistency. The system is also fully integrated with KALIBURN’s patented INOVA Torch Height Control system, which sets all vertical height and arc voltage parameters, further simplifying operation and maximizing versatility and torch consumable life. Additional convenience and ease of use with the Spirit400a comes from the Automatic Gas Console (AGC) that automatically sets process parameters, displays the required torch parts and part numbers, and monitors the parts’ usable life.

Established in 1985, KALIBURN has flourished from a producer of torch height control products into an industry leading manufacturer of plasma cutting systems. Headquartered in Charleston, SC, the company is committed to delivering innovative, reliable products backed by unprecedented customer service and product warranties. Through its significant growth and product advancements, the company continues to evolve and maintain its leadership position in the plasma cutting industry.
