TORCH OPERATION
NOTE!
Marking information provided is for systems using GCM2010 Gas Box only. With
DPC3000 Gas Box, all gas, pressure and flow parameters are for reference only.
Torch Parts Selection

The application will determine which torch parts must be used. Refer to the cut charts for the proper torch parts to install
for a selected application.
NOTE!
! Do not interchange parts. Make sure all torch parts correspond with the plasma and
shield gases in use for the application.
Pre-Setting Power Supply Controls

Set the Power Supply controls prior to operating the system as described in the power supply Operating Manual. Refer to
the cutting charts for the proper cutting parameters for the application.
Recommended Cutting Speeds

Cutting speed depends on material and thickness. The following factors may affect system performance:
• Torch parts wear; gas quality and mass flow / pressure; operator experience; torch standoff height; proper cable size
and connection; alloy content of material; cutting table capabilities & accuracy.
NOTE!
This information represents realistic expectations using recommended practices
and well-maintained systems. Actual speeds may vary from those shown in the
charts depending on the alloy content of the selected material. Voltage ratings may
vary depending on the CNC, cutting table, or height controller..
Consumables Notes
Always assemble the consumable parts properly. Improper assembly may damage the parts or the torch head. Ensure that
parts are seated together correctly.
Always check the shield gas distributor for charring when changing parts. Do not use the distributor if it is charred. Replace
the shield gas distributor regularly to ensure proper performance.
Operational Notes
Always purge the torch after changing consumables or if the power supply has been shut off. The power supply's built-
in purge function may not be enough to properly purge the torch. Manually flow gas with the 'Test Cut Flow' and 'Test
Pre-Flow' functions to help remove any remaining coolant from the lines.
Slightly increasing the preflow pressure may increase piercing ability on thicker materials. However, increasing the
preflow pressure too much may affect plasma starting reliability (misfiring).
Decreasing preflow pressure may improve piloting. Preflow pressure can be reduced without affecting cut performance
as long as the pilot arc still transfers to the plate well. Decreasing preflow pressure too much will affect the ability to
transfer the arc to the plate and cause damage to the tip.
Notes on Chart Measurements

Pressure measurements in the charts are in psi(g), not psi(a). 0 psi(g) = 14.7 psi(a) (1 atmosphere).
Ball settings are at the center of the gauge ball.

Materials used to create cut charts
NOTE!
For all cut charts, the following materials were used:
• A36 for Mild Steel

• 6061 for Aluminum
• 304 for Stainless Steel
With other variations of materials, the cut parameters can change slightly.

!
DANGER
Hydrogen Detonation is Possible When Cutting Aluminum in or Under Water
DO NOT cut aluminum alloys that contain lithium, in underwater applications or where water is involved (like with a water
mist secondary operation)! Check the chemical composition of aluminum alloys BEFORE cutting!
DO NOT leave plate on table overnight or for prolonged periods of time when in contact with the water! Hydrogen gas can
build up to dangerous levels.
When cutting aluminum in or under water, chemical reactions occur with the plate and even the fine particals produc-
ing hydrogen gas. More hydrogen gas is produced with aluminum than with other metals.
• If table has not been used for several hours, vibrate or jolt it to break up hydrogen gas pockets before placing
work piece on the table.
• Clean aluminum slag and other fine particals from bottom of table regularly.
• If possible, change water level between cuts to break up hydrogen gas pockets
• Maintain water pH level near 7 (neutral).
• Programmed part spacing should be a minimum of twice the kerf width to ensure material is always under the
kerf.
• When cutting above water, use fans to circulate air between plate and water surface.
Consult with the cutting machine/table manufacturer to assure proper equipment is used when cutting aluminum!

Direction of Cut
The plasma gas stream swirls as it leaves the torch to maintain a stable arc column. This swirl effect results in one side of a cut
being more square than the other. Viewed along the direction of travel, the right side of the cut is more square than the left.

Side Characteristics Of Cut

To make a square - edged cut along an inside diameter of a circle, move the torch counterclockwise around the circle. To
keep the square edge along an outside diameter cut, move the torch in a clockwise direction.
General Definitions:
THC Torch Height Control
Arc Voltage Voltage measurement between the electrode and the work piece which is used to control the
torch to work distance during cutting.
Cut Height Distance between the plasma torch and the work piece during cutting.
Pierce Ignition Height Torch to work distance during arc transfer. This setting is typically lower when using a THC with
elevation height in order to increase transfer reliability.
Elevation Height Distance from Pierce Ignition Height that the torch raises to in order to prevent torch damage
during plate piercing.
THC Pierce Delay Time following arc transfer that the torch remains at Pierce or Elevation Height. This is often longer
than the CNC Motion Delay in order to allow the torch to clear the pierce puddle.
CNC Motion Delay Time following arc transfer to allow the arc to pierce through the plate before the table XY motion
starts.
Control delay The Control Delay, also called AVC Delay, starts when the torch reaches Cut Height. At the end of
the Control Delay, the THC controls the torch height using either a predefined Arc Voltage or the
Arc Voltage sampled near the end of the Control Delay.
Cut Speed Recommended cut speed based on the material thickness, torch parts and gas combination used.
Kerf Width The width of material removed during the cut.

Bevel Cutting Definitions
Bevel Angle The angle between the center line of the torch and a line that is perpendicular to the workpiece.
If the torch is perpendicular to the workpiece, the Bevel Angle is zero. The maximum Bevel Angle
is 45°.
Nominal Thickness The vertical thickness of the workpiece.
Effective Thickness The length of the cut edge or the distance the arc travels through the material while cutting. Ef-
fective Thickness is equal to the nominal thickness divided by the cosine of the bevel angle. See
Cut Chart for Effective Thickness.
Clearance The vertical distance from the lowest point of the torch to the surface of the workpiece.
Effective Cut Height The linear distance from the center of the torch outlet to the workpiece surface along the torch
center-line. A range of Effective Cut Height distances are listed in the cut chart. The smallest number
is for a straight cut (bevel angle = 0°). The largest number is for a 45° bevel cut with a clearance of
2 mm (0.125 in).
Arc Voltage The Arc Voltage setting is dependent on the Bevel Angle and the setup of the cutting system. The
Arc Voltage setting on one system may be different from a second system even if the workpiece
is the same thickness. The arc voltages for bevel cutting are not supplied in the bevel cut charts.

Appendix 1: Other Cut Processes
This section includes less common processes which may be used for specific applications.
NOTE!
See Main section for information regarding parts selection, cutting recommenda-
tions, understanding cutting timeline, definitions and more.
NOTE!
For all cut charts, the following materials were used:
• A36 for Mild Steel

• 6061 for Aluminum
• 304 for Stainless Steel
With other variations of materials, the cut parameters can change slightly.

!
DANGER
Hydrogen Detonation is Possible When Cutting Aluminum in or Under Water
DO NOT cut aluminum alloys that contain lithium, in underwater applications or where water is involved (like with a water
mist secondary operation)! Check the chemical composition of aluminum alloys BEFORE cutting!
DO NOT leave plate on table overnight or for prolonged periods of time when in contact with the water! Hydrogen gas can
build up to dangerous levels.
When cutting aluminum in or under water, chemical reactions occur with the plate and even the fine particals produc-
ing hydrogen gas. More hydrogen gas is produced with aluminum than with other metals.
• If table has not been used for several hours, vibrate or jolt it to break up hydrogen gas pockets before placing work
piece on the table.
• Clean aluminum slag and other fine particals from bottom of table regularly.
• If possible, change water level between cuts to break up hydrogen gas pockets
• Maintain water pH level near 7 (neutral).
• Programmed part spacing should be a minimum of twice the kerf width to ensure material is always under the
kerf.
• When cutting above water, use fans to circulate air between plate and water surface.
Consult with the cutting machine/table manufacturer to assure proper equipment is used when cutting aluminum!
