LOTOS Apex LTP8500 | 85A HF Pilot Arc Plasma Cutter, Drag-Cut Enabled, 1" Clean (1.5" Sever), 220V Single-Phase, LED Controls & Front Regulator, Portable Air Plasma Cutter for Fab, Auto, HVAC

Apex Series Power (Fab/Field): Up to 1" clean and 1.5" sever on suitable materials—built for thick-plate work in shops and on job sites.

HF Pilot-Arc Starts (Auto/Body): High-frequency ignition delivers reliable starts through paint, rust, and expanded mesh for cleaner pierces and smoother kerfs.

Drag-Cut Control (HVAC/Thin Sheet/Art): Glide the torch on the workpiece to trace templates or freehand lines; use drag-cut consumables (sold separately) for best edge quality.

LED Panel Tuning (Quality/Consistency): Set Pilot-Arc 6–15 s and Post-Flow 2–10 s; input-pressure reminder helps maintain a stable arc and uniform kerf.

Single-Phase Convenience (Garage/Jobsite): 215–245V input (recommended 50A breaker); 15–85A DC output covers a wide thickness range across metals.

Air Requirements (Shop Standard): Clean, dry air ≥80 PSI @ ~4.5 SCFM supports consistent starts and helps extend consumable life.

Quick Setup (Maintenance): Pre-installed NPT 1/4" Type-D plug and air filter-regulator; front regulator speeds pressure dialing and leak checks.

Real-World Uses (Applications): Trailer frames, farm equipment, structural steel, HVAC panels, and metal art on stainless, alloy/mild steel, aluminum, and copper.

LOTOS Apex Series LTP8500 — 85A HF Pilot-Arc Plasma Cutter engineered for heavy-duty cutting in fabrication shops and field repairs. With Drag-Cut capability, a large LED control panel, and a front-mounted regulator, LTP8500 dials in quickly and delivers clean, consistent results on thick plate. Why LTP8500 (Apex Series) Power & Capacity: Up to 1" (25 mm) clean and 1.5" (38 mm) sever, depending on material and technique. HF Pilot-Arc Starts: High-frequency ignition for reliable starts through paint, rust, and expanded mesh. Drag-Cut Enabled: Trace templates or freehand lines; for best edges, use drag-cut consumables (sold separately). LED Controls: Pilot-Arc Time 6–15 s; Post-Flow 2–10 s helps cool and extend torch life; input-pressure reminder stabilizes kerfs. Quick Setup: Pre-installed NPT 1/4" Type-D plug and air filter-regulator; front regulator simplifies precise pressure setting and leak checks. Input Power & Air Electrical: Single-phase 215–245V (recommended 50A breaker) Output: 15–85A DC Air: Clean, dry air ≥80 PSI @ ~4.5 SCFM Typical Applications Fabrication & Field: Trailer frames, structural steel, heavy brackets Auto/Body: Coated or rusty panels, patch work, exhaust HVAC & Sheet Metal: Panels, ducts, grates, expanded mesh Metal Art: Freehand contours and templates on steel, aluminum, and copper Note: Cutting performance depends on material, thickness, torch height, consumables, air quality, and operator technique. For drag cutting, use dedicated drag-cut consumables and maintain dry, stable air.
