Miami, Florida 33135 or CSA Standard W117.2-1974. A Free copy of “Arc Welding Safety” booklet E205 is available from the Lincoln Electric Company, 22801 St. Clair Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44117-1199. BE SURE THAT ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURES ARE PER- FORMED ONLY BY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS.
WELDING OR CUTTING SPARKS can cause fire or explosion. 4.a. Remove fire hazards from the welding or cut- ting area. If this is not possible, cover them to prevent the welding or cutting sparks from start- ing a fire. Remember that welding or cutting sparks and hot materials from welding or cutting can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS - PRO-CUT 60 INPUT - SINGLE PHASE / 60 HERTZ ONLY Standard Voltage 208/230/460 460/575 Duty Cycle 60% Duty Cycle 100% Duty Cycle Current Range 25-60 Amps RECOMMEND INPUT WIRE AND FUSE SIZES Based on U.S. National Electrical Code AC Input Voltage at (Super Lag)
Read entire Installation Section before installing the PRO-CUT 60. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL. • Only qualified personnel should install this machine. • Turn the input power OFF at the disconnect switch or fuse box before working on the equipment.
3. Connect the work terminal to a ground within ten feet of the machine. a. Use grounding cable that is the same size as, or larger than, the work cable. b. Make grounding cable as short as possible. c. Connect the ground tightly. Use one of the following ground methods: (1) Connect to a metal underground water pipe that is in direct contact with earth for...
FUSE AND WIRE SIZES Protect the input circuit with the super lag fuses or delay type circuit breakers listed on the Specifications page of this manual for the machine being used. The tripping action of delay type circuit breakers decreases as the magnitude of the current increases.
AIR INPUT CONNECTIONS Supply the PRO-CUT 60 with clean compressed air or nitrogen. • Supply pressure must be between 70 psi and 120 psi (482 kPa and 827 kPa). • Flow rate should be approximately 4.7 cfm (133 I/min.). NOTE: Oil in the air supply to the PRO-CUT 60 can cause severe problems.
RECONNECT PROCEDURE Multiple voltage machines are shipped connected to the highest input voltage listed on the machine's rating plate. Before installing the machine, check that the Reconnect Panel in the Input Box Assembly is connected for the proper voltage. CAUTION Failure to follow these instructions can cause immediate failure of components within the machine.
OUTPUT CONNECTIONS WARNING To avoid receiving a high frequency shock, keep the torch and cables in good condition. __________________ The standard PRO-CUT 60 cutting torch comes with a 25 ft. (7.6m) cable. A cutting torch with a 50 ft. (15.2m) cable is available. The PRO-CUT 60 is shipped with the torch and work cables already connected.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - Observe additional Safety Guidelines detailed in the beginning of this manual. PRO-CUT 60 OPERATION Read and understand entire section before operating machine. WARNING ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. • Do not touch electrically live parts or electrode with skin or wet clothing.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION The PRO-CUT 60 is a constant current, single range, continuous control plasma cutting system. The microprocessor-based PRO-CUT 60 is capa- ble of cutting with compressed air or nitrogen gas. Nitrogen gas is used to cut aluminum or other non-ferrous metals.
• Works with pure nitrogen for cutting non-ferrous metal. • Smart switching of pilot contactor so that it does not switch under load. • Low fan noise at idle. • Modular construction for easy servicing. CUTTING AND GOUGING CAPABILITY The PRO-CUT 60 is rated at 60 amps, 115 VAC, at 60% duty cycle on a 10 minute basis or 45 amps, 115VAC, at 100% duty cycle.
1. Safety Reset Button, 4. Output Current Control, OPERATING STEPS When preparing to cut or gouge, position the machine as close to the work as possible. Make sure you have all materials needed to complete the job and have taken all safety precautions. It is important to follow these operating steps each time you use the machine.
8. Pull the torch trigger to cut. - OUTPUT ON LED glows. If postflow has not timed out, the pilot arc lights immediately. If postflow air has timed out (after 20 sec- onds), air preflows for two seconds before pilot arc lights. If the arc is not transferred by bringing plasma in contact with the work with in 2.5 seconds, the pilot arc shuts off.
Page 21
6. Use nozzle with the largest orifice that gives the best cut for the work being done. This pro- duces the best work results and consumable life. As the size of the nozzle orifice increases, its current capability increases. Therefore, the nozzle used for cutting or gouging work must be able to handle the current needed to give the best cutting results.
Cutting Expanded Metal 1. Cut expanded metal with CURRENT CONTROL set near the mid- range position using the same methods listed under Cutting Thin Gauge Metal. Keep the following points in mind: a. Place a thin piece of scrap metal over the area to be cut and then cut through both to make cutting easier.
Gouging Metal 1. Set the OUTPUT CURRENT CONTROL to maximum. 2. Use the plasma torch with a S24114 Drag Cup assembly or a S24162 shield cup. 3. Bring the torch slowly towards the work piece at a 30 angle, but do not pierce the work piece.
OPTIONS/ACCESSORIES DRAG CUP ASSEMBLY (S24114) The drag cup protects the torch by preventing the torch from touching the workpiece. SHIELD CUP ASSEMBLY (S24162) This shields the torch tip and provides more visibil- ity to the workpiece than the drag cup. Note the shield cup does not prevent the torch tip from touching the workpiece.

FIGURE E.2. - Input Line Voltage and Main Transformer INPUT LINE VOLTAGE AND MAIN TRANSFORMER The desired single-phase input power is connect- ed to the Pro-Cut 60 through a line switch located on the front panel of the machine. A reconnect panel allows the user to configure the machine for the desired input voltage.
FIGURE E.3 - Output Rectification, Control and Feedback OUTPUT RECTIFICATION, CONTROL AND FEEDBACK The AC output from the main transformer sec- ondary is rectified through the SCR/ DIODE bridge. The machine output is controlled through the transistor module. The output current is sensed at the shunt, as a low voltage signal, and fed back to the control board.
FIGURE E.4 - High Voltage/High Frequency and By-Pass Circuit HIGH VOLTAGE / HIGH FREQUENCY AND BY-PASS CIRCUIT The control board passes the 115vac through the CR2 relay contacts to the primary of the high volt- age transformer. The secondary of the high volt- age transformer delivers a high voltage to the spark gap generator and also to the high frequen- cy transformer.
PILOT ARC The Pro-Cut 60 has a smooth, continuous pilot arc. The pilot arc is a means of establishing and transferring the arc to the work piece for cutting. The pilot arc current flow is from the positive potential work terminal through the R2 resistor and CR2 contacts to the pilot lead circuit in the torch cable.
FIGURE E.7 - Transistor Switching Operation TRANSISTOR SWITCHING OPERATION A transistor is a solid state device consisting of three layers of silicon crystal. These three layers form the emitter, collector and base regions of a transistor. They are used at high frequencies in high power applications and switching circuits.
FIGURE E.8 - Pulse Width Modulation PULSE WIDTH MODULATION The term PULSE WIDTH MODULATION is used to describe how much of a given time period is devoted to conduction(collector current flow). Changing the pulse width, within a given time peri- od, is known as MODULATION.
