The 1Torch
SL60 and SL100 Torches work with most
plasma cutting power supplies. The Torches are equipped
with either O2B connectors or the Thermal Dynamics ATC
connector and are connected using various Adapter Kits
sold separately.
A label on the torch handle indicates the torch model
number. SL60 Torches provide cutting capabilities of up
to 60 amperes. SL100 Torches provide cutting capabili-
ties of up to 100 amperes. The torches use compressed
air as both the plasma and secondary gas.
The torches are suitable for drag cutting (with the torch
tip in contact with the workpiece, at up to 40 Amps out-
put); 40-100 Amp shielded drag cutting (with shielded
torch parts (cap, etc.) in contact with the workpiece);
standoff cutting; or gouging.
Refer to the Complete Assembly Replacement page for
configurations and catalog numbers.
These instructions are important for the proper installa-
tion of the Torches. Read the instructions thoroughly be-
fore attempting the installation. Keep these instructions
for reference.
