HiFocus Plasma Cutting with Reduced Sound Pressure Level thanks to Silent Cut

Reduction of up to 15 dB(A)

After last year‘s premiere, Kjellberg Finsterwalde presented the Silent Cut Plasma cutting technology now also for the plasma power sources of the HiFocus series at this year's EuroBlech show. The live demonstrations with two HiFocus power sources show the difference between plasma cutting with the well-proven Contour Cut technology and the further development Silent Cut. The differences in the sound pressure levels amounting up to 15 dB(A) during cutting of mild steel are clearly audible. Both technologies ensure the same cut quality so that users can choose their preferred technology. The only requirements are the change of the consumables and the use of the Silent Cut database provided by Kjellberg Finsterwalde, thus making Silent Cut also available for existing machines. The result is a considerable reduction of the noise level thus making an important contribution to safety at work. With Silent Cut, the sound pressure drops partly below 85 dB(A) depending on the material thickness – from this value on preventive measures to protect hearing are usually required.
