PC105General Information

• Plasma is a gas heated to a very high temperature (>10.000°C)

• The gas is ionized, thus being able to conduct an electric current

• A narrow orifice on the nozzle of the torch constricts the arc

• The heat of the arc melt the metal • The high velocity jet blows away the molten

metal• Voltage drop in the arc is => 80 + (0,4 x A(output

current ))

Europe

The pilot arc (non transferred

arc)

• A pilot arc is necessary to ionized the gas and to provide a conductive path between the electrode and the torch tip or nozzle

• To strike the pilot arc two methods are mainly used:– High frequency that generates a spark

between the electrode and the torch tip– The touch start with movable electrode

that touches the tip being momentarily shorted, then retracts immediately to establish the cutting arc

• The pilot arc provides an ionized, conductive path

• When the torch is close enough to the workpiece, so that the flame touches it, the cutting arc can be established

What we need for a correct cut

• Air supply– pressure at the inlet of the gas

regulator must be between 5 and 7,5 bar ( approx. from 72,5 to 108,5 PSI )

– oil in the air creates severe problem– humidity in the air creates higher

orifice’s and electrode’s consumption and more DrossDross

• Consumables– check the consumables conditions– worn consumables reduce the

cutting capability and increase the DrossDross production

The Torch needs:The Torch needs:

❂ 130 l/min for PC65130 l/min for PC65

❂ 180 l/min for PC105180 l/min for PC105

Europe

What we need for a correct cut• …….Consumables

– use the orifice according to the Cutting Current

– Current ⇒ Orifice• 30 A 0,8mm• 50 A 1,0mm• 70A 1,2mm• 100A 1,3mm

• Distance from the work pieceThin plate: slightly touching the work pieceThick plate: keep a distance of 3mm or using the spacer(higher distance will increase the life of the consumables but it will reduce the cutting capability)
