Description
The base iQ 1500 (an iQ 1500 plus also exists) cuts thin and medium metal economically, the iQ 3000 handles a variety of industrial tasks, and the iQ 4500 works on large thicknesses. Plasma runs on iQ-Gas O2 and iQ-Gas gases, stainless steel and aluminium from 6 mm are cut with an Ar/H2 mixture, 1–6 mm sheet is processed with HiFinox with noticeably less dross, and thicknesses up to 60 mm are cut with nitrogen plasma. Contour Cut gives accurate holes and contours, Contour Cut Speed adds up to 50 % speed, Silent Cut reduces noise, and Q-Hole and ProPierce extend the piercing limits. With the Q-Torch Auto Change automatic torch head exchange the machine runs almost without an operator. Power comes from a 380–400, 415–440 or 440–480 V, 50/60 Hz supply, the IP 21S cabinet is made for a workshop, its dimensions are 1150×695×1510 mm, the iQ 1500 weighs 240/281 kg and the iQ 4500 weighs 355 kg.
How to choose
The deciding factor is the thickness of structural steel cut most often. The recommended range of the three models is 0.5–40, 0.5–60 and 0.5–70 mm, the limit thicknesses are 80, 80 and 120 mm, piercing up to 50, 50 and 70 mm, stainless steel up to 60, 80 and 130 mm, and aluminium up to 60, 80 and 120 mm (with iQ-Gas). Allow 35, 72 and 109 kVA for the connection, with a 63 A fuse for the iQ 1500 and 180 A for the iQ 4500. For serial cutting up to 100 mm compare the Smart Focus series.

FAQ
What steel thickness does iQ 4500 cut?
The iQ 4500 cuts structural steel up to 120 mm with a recommended range of 0.5–70 mm and pierces up to 70 mm. The model cuts stainless steel up to 130 mm and aluminium up to 120 mm.
Does iQ 3000 cut with a bevel for welding?
Yes, the Q-Bevel technology forms a bevel on 6–50 mm plates directly on the cutting machine.
What is the marking current of the iQ systems?
Marking and scribing with Q-Mark/Q-Notch are done at 5–60 A, so the part number is applied in the same processing cycle.
Can iQ work without an operator?
Yes, together with the Q-Torch Auto Change automatic torch head exchange the machine runs almost unattended, and the 100 % duty cycle at 40 °C does not limit the cycle length.
