The iQ 4500 is designed for automated plasma cutting and marking in demanding production environments with thick plate applications, high cutting currents and maximum productivity requirements.

With a cutting current range of 20 to 450 A and a marking current range of 5 to 60 A, the system delivers precise cutting, marking, notching and center marking for heavy duty industrial production.

For mild steel, the iQ 4500 cuts from 0.018 to 2 3/4 in in the recommended range and up to 4 3/4 in maximum. Piercing is possible up to 2 3/4 in, depending on the process and material.

Its high power system design supports stable cutting performance under demanding production conditions. This helps manufacturers process thick materials with consistent cut quality, high repeatability and reduced rework.

Q-Desk provides real time access to process data, system information and consumable condition monitoring. This helps operators maintain stable cutting performance, use consumables efficiently and reduce unplanned downtime.

For automated production, the iQ 4500 can be combined with the optional Q-Torch Auto Change System. It enables safe and predictable torch head changes without manual intervention, helping reduce setup time, avoid process errors and support continuous production.

The iQ 4500 is the high power system within the iQ Series for manufacturers that need maximum productivity, clear process control and consistent cut quality in thick plate applications.
