0200-0220 - Victor VCM 200 Portable Cutting Tractor with MT 210A Torch

Precision Automated Cutting Solution

The Victor VCM 200 Portable Cutting Machine (0200-0220) is a robust, tractor-type machine engineered for high-precision straight line and circle cutting applications. Designed for industrial environments, the VCM 200 utilizes a sophisticated cone disc drive system that provides smooth, consistent travel speeds ranging from 1 to 60 inches per minute (25.4 to 1520.4 mm/min). This wide speed range makes it adaptable for various material thicknesses and cutting requirements, capable of handling plate up to 12 inches (300 mm) thick.

At the core of the VCM 200 is a constant speed AC induction motor. Unlike DC motors found in lesser units, this AC motor ensures that travel speed remains stable regardless of load variations or temperature fluctuations, a critical factor in maintaining cut quality during long operations. The motor is strategically mounted on the side opposite the torch, shielding it from radiant heat and ensuring cooler, more efficient operation and a longer service life.

Versatile Configuration

The package includes the MT 210A torch and rack assembly, providing a complete solution for immediate deployment. The machine features a counter-balanced design that allows the torch to be racked out up to 18 inches (457.2 mm) from the machine body, offering exceptional reach for wide plates or specific edge preparation tasks. The torch holder accommodates standard 1.38-inch (35.1 mm) barrel torches, allowing for compatibility with a wide range of Victor cutting torches and accessories.

Operational Efficiency

Operators benefit from the intuitive dual drive controls and direct speed readout, which simplify setup and adjustments. Large thumb screws allow for hand-tight adjustments of the torch position, eliminating the need for tools during routine operation. Whether used on a standard track for long straight cuts or equipped with a radius rod for circle cutting, the VCM 200 delivers the reliability and precision expected from Victor gas equipment.
