in certain applications the contact cutting may be required even with current over 40A (ex.:high cutting speed on thin metal sheet or on high ticks where an high cutting precision is required).
In those application use spare parts described in the picture.
Use for current 40÷70A
4 gas diffuser
15 outer nozzle
16 shield cup
12 Contact tip Ø 1,0 | for current 40÷55A
12 Contact tip Ø 1,2 | for current 55÷70A
Use for current 70÷100A
5 gas diffuser
GB
15 outer nozzle
17 shield cup
13 contact tip Ø 1,5 | for current 100A
11.3 Grating
In GRATING cut position, the minimum current stays at 20A and the maximum at 40A.
When the arc moves from the solid to the grating open area, the generator returns automatically in pilot arc condition and the cutting arc starts again touching a new
solid area. We recommand the stand off spacer to improuve the spare parts life and the use of the tip (6)
Use
4 gas diffuser
6 contact tip Ø 0,9 Z0063AA
9 outer nozzle
11 doubler pointer spacer
Consider that the cutting width is about twice as much the tip diameter.
This position (grating) is suggested even for precision cuttings, on thin metal sheets
(thickness less than 6 mm): take off the spacer 11 and use contact cutting.
