The PT100 plasma torch supplied has the ‘euro style’ power/gas connection, pilot cable and switch pins connections. All Jasic plasma cutting systems and torches supplied incorporate a safety circuit to prevent operator injury when changing consumables etc. This is a simple ring circuit that breaks the electrical torch switching as soon as the retaining cap is removed preventing machine operation.

Description of Stand-off Cutting Stand-Off Cutting The stand-off cutting technique is the process of holding the tip of the torch between 3-4mm from the workpiece to achieve the optimum cut. Stand-off cutting requires a cutting tip that you need to ensure that the plasma machines output amperage is matched to the amperage with the tip.

Description of Drag Cutting Drag Tip Cutting Drag tip cutting is the process of dragging the tip of the torch along the workpiece to cut the metal. This is often the easiest way to cut while minimizing heat input but usually only on cutting currents of 40amps and below.

Plasma Cutting Techniques Piercing Piercing is the process in which a quick hole is made in the workpiece. Piercing is often just a starting hole that will be used to make a circular cut within the workpiece. You can use standard cutting tips for piercing although ensure the plasma machines output amperage matches the cutting tips amperage rating.

Plasma Cutting Techniques Gouging Gouging creates a smooth, clean concaved groove within the material being gouged which is often weld ready. This process is primarily used for weld removal or back gouging. Gouging has specific consumables and settings depending on the gouge you need to produce which include the gouging tip, shield cup and gas distributor that would be specific to gouging.

Before cutting always check the torch, consumables and cables for excessive wear and tear. If the electrode, air distributor or the cutting tip ori- fice shows signs of wear and tear then replace it with new consumables sized correctly for your Jasic plasma machine and application your about to undertake.
