Torch Runner Track Cutting Machine
The Steelmax® Torch Runner is a state-of-the-art, digitally controlled track torch which maintains precise and stable travel speeds that produce accurate cuts and bevels with oxy-fuel or plasma.
The Torch Runner can be used on any standard 6″ V-grooved track. Plate cutting and weld preparation can now be done with a high degree of precision. Quality cuts and bevels produced with Torch Runner reduce fit-up and grinding time and lay the foundation for a high-quality weld.
The Torch Runner is available in two versions: a standard version for oxyfuel cutting applications (up to 59 ipm) and a high-speed version for plasma cutting applications (up to 118 ipm).
