The Migatronic Sparcon 1200 is an industrial plasma cutter with liquid cooling. The cutting current has three steps: 35 A, 70 A and 115 A, and at 115 A it works at a 100% duty cycle. The maximum cutting thickness reaches 45 mm, the weight is about 240 kg.
What this machine is for
This is equipment for shipyards, makers of heavy steel structures and plants with numerically controlled tables. A 100% duty cycle at 115 A means cutting without breaks for cooling, which on long paths on the table translates straight into quality, because every break of the arc leaves a mark on the edge. Three current steps let you match the power to the thickness of the material instead of cutting everything at one setting.
The system works with air, nitrogen and a mixture of argon with hydrogen. Air is the basic and cheapest gas for carbon steel, nitrogen and argon hydrogen mixtures give a clean, metallic bright edge on stainless steel and aluminium, so the part goes on without long finishing. Liquid cooling holds the temperature of the torch, so nozzles and electrodes last longer than in air cooled systems, and that is the most expensive item in running a cutter.
Features and equipment
- Three cutting current steps: 35 A, 70 A and 115 A, matched to the thickness of the material.
- Integrated liquid cooler for the torch, longer life of nozzles and electrodes.
- Work with air, nitrogen and a mixture of argon with hydrogen.
- Remote switch on the front panel, it moves control from manual mode to an external system, for example a numerically controlled table.

What to watch out for
The product card puts the machine in the cutting current range up to 130 A, while the description gives three steps of 35 A, 70 A and 115 A, so go by the values from the description. A weight of about 240 kg calls for a pallet and a forklift, and the station needs a fixed place. Liquid cooling means a check of the fluid level, the flow and the tightness of the couplings before every start.
Work with nitrogen or with a mixture of argon and hydrogen needs separate cylinders, regulators and a prepared gas installation, and plasma cutting always needs extraction and a table with a draw off. The description does not give the supply parameters, so they have to be confirmed before connection. A torch about 7 m long gives reach around a large part, but with a longer lead the state of the couplings and a clear cooling circuit matter.
