PLASMA CUTTER FOR MANUAL OR AUTOMATED CUTTING
The handheld and machine torch packages for manual and mechanized plasma cutting applications with the Spectrum® 875 Auto-Line from Miller Electric Mfg. are ideal for fabricators, contractors and businesses that require job site versatility, portability and exceptional cutting performance.

Miller Electric Mfg. Co. (Appleton, WI) offers the Spectrum 875 Auto-Line plasma cutter. Weighing 56 lb and able to cut metal up to 1-1/4 in thick (7/8 in at a rated quality of 10 in per minute), the Spectrum 875 Auto-Line is ideal for fabricators, contractors and businesses that require job site versatility, portability and exceptional cutting performance.
The Spectrum 875 Auto-Line seamlessly recognizes and adjusts to any input voltage from 208 to 575 volts, single- or three-phase power and 50 or 60 Hz without the need for physical linking mechanisms. The Auto-Line technology enables the unit to operate on generator power without being affected by power fluctuations during the use of other power tools.
?Through our research, we saw many fabricators whose available input power would change on a regular basis from job to job," says product manager Steve Hidden. "We also saw a need for an affordable plasma cutting solution that could help fabricators make the leap into mechanized cutting applications. With this system, we created one product that meets both demands.?
FIT FOR THE FIELD
Auto-Line allows companies to simply plug the unit in and begin cutting in virtually any shop or field environment and location. When connected to the generator power from Bobcat or Trailblazer gas engine drives, the Spectrum 875 Auto-Line provides a 45 amp output to cut steel 1/2 in thick. When connected to Big Blue model diesel engine drives with 12,000 watts or more of generator power options, the Spectrum 875 Auto-Line provides a full 60 amps of rated output to cut 7/8 in steel at 10 ipm.
UPGRADED
Replacing the Spectrum 2050 plasma cutter, the Spectrum 875 Auto-Line offers increased cutting power and several upgraded features, yet with a lower price tag and in a package that weighs 30 lb less than the 2050. Among these upgrades, the system provides automatic air regulation, eliminating the need to manually adjust the air pressure to match the cutting application, an additional 5 amps of output power and Miller?s patented Ultra-Quick Connect? torch and work cable for the fastest torch and cable connection and removal in the industry. The Spectrum 875 Auto-Line?s Auto-Refire technology automatically keeps the pilot arc lit while cutting expanded metal or multiple pieces of metal, eliminating the need for manual re-triggering and reducing operator hand fatigue.
For fabricators who want to take plasma cutting precision to the next level, the Spectrum 875 Auto-Line is also available with an optional machine torch package for mechanized cutting applications. The machine torch package includes a barrel-style torch for attachment to an automated cutting system, and a cable kit allowing easy access to remote on/off, ok to move and voltage sensing. In mechanized applications that require very precise output consistency, the Auto-Line technology provides a smooth, reliable cut in the event of brown-outs or other primary power fluctuations. This system will not replace the standard Spectrum 875, which operates solely using the most common input power in fabrication environments: 230 volt single-phase.
