shield when cutting. When exchanging torch and wearing parts, please turn off the supply power first. Protective shield should be worn. In order to avoid any hurt to eyes from ultraviolet radiation and strong light and to skin from spatter, please wear protective shield according to related rules and regulations of labor protection.
5 Basic Principle The control circuit of this cutting machine adopts advanced electronic part IGBT as the main inverter switch component. Three-phase AC power is converted to 20KHz high-frequency DC current after being rectified by three phase rectifier. Then under the function of IGBT inverter the DC current is inverted to AC high frequency current, which is inverted to DC current after experiencing voltage reduction in high frequency transformer, current rectifying in fast recovery diode.
6 Installation and operation Moving and lifting Power source should be shut off before moving the cutter; The cutter bottom should be kept downwards during transportation. It is forbidden to have cutter placed transversely or upended; When lifting, it must be lifted vertically; ...

1) The cutting material kind and thickness The cutting material kind and thickness is the basis to choose a cutting parameter, for example, if the material is thick, then we choose a bigger cutting current and bigger diameter nozzles. Even the thickness is same, but different material, we have to choose a different cutting technology.
argon the open circuit voltage may be lower, while it is higher by using air, nitrogen, hydrogen. 6) Cutting speed The cutting speed is related with many parameters. The main parameters determining cutting speed include work-piece thickness, cutting current, air flux and nozzle aperture.

vertical and horizontal blow force of the arc is formed, the vertical one helps to blow away the molten metal, while the horizontal one makes the molten metal flow backward along with incision bottom, this over-heated metal will melt parts of the bottom metal again, then the burr is formed when they cool down and melt together.
capacity, so this measurement is not wildly used. Recently, people can avoid the slanting by improving the nozzle structure, this is called super cutting method. By adopting multi-hole nozzle during the cutting process, the air current from the small hole is parallel with that from the main hole, this can avoid the dispersing of the plasma flame on metal top, and then a parallel incision, square upper side and no metal slag seam on the lower side is obtained.
