4.2 Cut Quality

4.2.1 Introduction

NOTICE

Causes affecting cut quality are interdependent.

Changing one variable affects all others. Determining a solution may be difficult. The following guide offers possible solutions to different undesirable cutting results. To begin select the most prominent condition:

§

4.2.2 Cut Angle, negative or positive

§

4.2.3 Cut not flat, rounded or undercut

§

4.2.4 Surface roughness

§ 4.2.5 Dross

Usually the recommended cutting parameters will give optimal cut quality, occasionally conditions may vary enough that slight adjustments will be required. If so:

·

Make small incremental adjustments when making corrections.

·

Adjust Arc Voltage in 5 volt increments, up or down as required.

·

Adjust cutting speed 5% or less as required until conditions improve.

Before attempting ANY corrections, check cutting

variables with the factory recommended settings/consumable part numbers listed in Process

Data.

4.2.6 Dimensional Accuracy

Generally using the slowest possible speed

(within approved levels) will optimize part accuracy. Select consumables to allow a lower arc voltage and slower cutting speed.

NOTICE Recommended cutting speed and arc voltage will give optimal cutting performance in most cases.

Small incremental adjustments may be needed due to material quality, material temperature and specific alloy. The operator should remember that all cutting variables are interdependent. Changing one setting affects all others and cut quality could deteriorate. Always start at the recommended settings.

4.3 Influence of Gas Options on Cut Quality

4.3.1 Introduction

All gases are not suitable for all situations. Certain gases assist in cutting specific materials and thickness. The following explains why certain gases are selected and their influence on the finished part.

Other influences such as arc voltage and gas flow/pressure are covered in the Process Data.

NOTICE

4.3.2 Aluminum

Refer to Cutting Process Data in this section for recommended flow/pressure settings.

Material Thickness: All thickness’ between .062" to .625" (1,6 mm to 15,9 mm)

Cut Qualities:

· Smooth cut face

· Virtually no dross

Plasma Gas: Nitrogen

Shield Gas: Nitrogen/Methane

Discussion:

Shield mixture is very important. Between 2 and 3 parts nitrogen, to 1 part methane ratio is desired. Incorrect ratio results in heavy dross.

Cut Qualities:

·

Smooth cut face

· Virtually no dross

Plasma Gas: Oxygen

Shield Gas: Oxygen/Nitrogen

Discussion:

Shield gas is normally nitrogen. A small amount of oxygen combined with nitrogen can effectively improve dross formation on thin material of 26 GA to 10

GA carbon steel. Also, an oxygen only shield may provide acceptable results on thinner materials.

Material Thickness: .125" to .75" (3,2 mm to 19,1 mm)

Cut Qualities:

· Smooth cut face

·

Virtually no dross

Plasma Gas: Oxygen

Shield Gas: Nitrogen

Discussion:

Cutting carbon steel with oxygen results in an exothermic reaction. This chemical reaction causes the carbon in the material to burn similar to when oxyfuel cutting. This plus the electrical energy uses lower amperage levels without sacrificing cut speed.

Cut Qualities:

·

Positive cut angle

·

Excellent dross performance

·

Shiny cut surface.

Plasma Gas: Nitrogen

Shield Gas: Nitrogen/Methane

Discussion:

Because of high cut speeds, a positive cut face angle is expected. Use a 70amp nozzle at 50 amps to allow more gas to exit the nozzle.

Material Thickness: 26 GA (.018") to 16 GA (.062") (0,5 mm to 1,6 mm)

Cut Qualities:

·

Dark cut face

·

Virtually dross free

· Improved cut squareness

Plasma Gas: Oxygen

Shield Gas: Oxygen/Nitrogen

Discussion:

Low amperage cutting/slower speeds produce squarer cuts in thin materials.

The oxygen allows for a lower arc voltage, improving cut squareness. The “B” nozzle is used at 30 amps

Material Thickness: .125" to .625" (3,2 mm to 15,9 mm)

Cut Qualities:

· Cut edge dark

· good dross performance

· Good cut angle

Plasma Gas: Air

Shield Gas: Air

Discussion:

When they are the same, the shield and plasma gases combine. This combination has the effect of increasing the cut gas flow/pressure. This increased flow/pressure directly influences cut squareness.

Cut Qualities:

·

Matted cut edge appearance

·

Light gray color

·

Much smoother finish

·

Possible slight increase in cut angle

Plasma Gas: Air

Shield Gas: Air/Methane

Discussion:

Too much methane in the shield gas mixture can result in more dross formation.

4:1 ratio air to methane is recommended. Because methane is a fuel gas, possible slight increase in cut angles could be experienced.

Material Thickness: .125" to .625" (3,2 mm to 15,9 mm)

Cut Qualities:

·

Dark cut face similar to air

·

Excellent dross performance

·

Good cut angle

Plasma Gas: Nitrogen

Shield Gas: Nitrogen

Discussion:

Shield and plasma gases combine, the volume/pressure of shield gas can negatively affect cut squareness. Higher shield volume produces a negative cut angle. A lower volume, produces a positive angle.

Material Thickness: .187" to .625" (4,7 mm to 15,9 mm)

Cut Qualities:

·

Shiny cut face

·

Lip formation at the bottom

·

Dross formation can be extensive and difficult to remove

Plasma Gas: Nitrogen

Shield Gas: Nitrogen/Methane

Discussion:

Because methane is a fuel gas, flow/pressure rates can affect the cut angle. High flow/pressure results in a negative cut angle, low flow/pressure results in a positive cut angle. Nitrogen to methane ratio is

10 to 14 parts N2/ 1 part CH4. The lip formed on the cut face bottom is severe, making Nitrogen/Methane shield gas combination unsuitable for some finished part applications.

Before performing torch maintenance:

·

Turn power switch on the console to the OFF position.

·

Disconnect primary input power.

Torch Body O-Rings

·

Each day before starting operation, check O-rings on the torch body. Replace if damaged or worn.

·

Apply a thin coat of silicone grease to O-rings before assembling to torch. Do not use Krytox.

·

The O-ring, P/N 638797, inside the torch body that seals the nozzle is especially critical.

§

Damage or wear is not readily apparent because of its location,

§

We recommend replacing this O-ring on a daily basis.

§

Be careful not to scratch or damage the torch surface.

§

A wooden toothpick works well for removing Orings.

§

The O-ring can be replaced without removing the water baffle P/N 21725; however if the baffle is removed, always use a 3/16" (5 mm) hex wrench or nut driver.

Vent Hole

Torch Sleeve Vent

·

Water leaks, moisture or coolant dripping from the sleeve vent hole indicates service line damage.

·

PT-24 Front End

MAINTENANCE

NOTE:

If the console is on, the pump will be running and coolant pressure behind the retainer will prevent it from turning freely. Check the console before attempting to remove the nut. Notice that a small amount of coolant is lost each time consumables are removed. This is normal and the coolant will eventually have to be replaced. Check coolant before each operation.

Cup Shield w/Retainer

1. Unscrew the cup shield/retainer. Inspect around orifice for damage. Replace orifice edge if nicked or damaged. A distorted orifice will not produce straight cuts.

2. Unscrew and remove insulator shield

3. The shield cup insulator is sandwiched between the cup and the nozzle retainer/diffuser. It may remain attached to nozzle retainer because of the very close fit between these members.

6. Remove the swirl baffle from the nozzle. If the baffle remains in the torch, it will come free when removing the electrode. Check the small gas passages of the swirl baffle for blockage and clear blockages with an air stream. If blockages cannot be cleared, replace baffle. Do NOT insert anything in these holes when trying to clear them. Distorting these holes will impair cutting performance.

7. Use the electrode and nozzle tool provided to unscrew the electrode. (P/N 21765).

5.6 PT-24 Torch Tip Re-assembly

MAINTENANCE

1. Electrode

Apply a thin film of silicone grease to the O-ring, just enough to produce a shiny surface. Thread electrode in place and tighten snugly with tool provided. DO

NOT OVER TIGHTEN.

Nozzle Retainer

Nozzle

Small Amount of Krytox

2. Nozzle & Swirl Baffle

Place swirl baffle into nozzle with the grooved end of the baffle going inside nozzle.

When properly assembled, the small spherical tip of nozzle makes a metal to metal coolant seal with the nozzle retainer. Apply a small amount of Krytox (antiseizing compound) on the small diameter of the nozzle retainer as shown. This grease prevents possible galling/seizing between the nozzle and retainer. It also facilitates a watertight seal. Do not put Krytox on nozzle.

3. Nozzle Retainer/Diffuser

Thread the nozzle retainer onto torch and hand tighten.

4. Shield Cup Insulator

Push the shield cup insulator on the nozzle retainer.

This component is a press fit and may remain assembled when the assembly was taken apart.

NOTICE

CAUTION

5. Insulator Shield Retainer

Apply a thin coat of silicone grease to the O-ring and thread insulator shield retainer on to Shield Cup.

Hand tighten.

Do Not Attach Insulator To The Torch Body

First.

Threading Insulator on to torch body first will not allow shield gases to flow properly. Thread insulator onto the Shield Cup first and then attach both pieces onto the torch body.

6. Shield Cup And Retainer

Screw this assembly (Insulator/Shield Cup and

Retainer) onto the torch and hand tighten.

O-Ring Inspection & Lubrication

·

Inspect O-rings often for nicks and wear. Worn or damaged O-rings will affect starting and cut quality.

·

Applying a thin coat of silicone grease to the torch tip O-rings during service assembly will facilitate future disassembly.

·

Do not use Krytox on O-rings. Krytox is an antiseize lubricant and will dissipate over time, making disassembly difficult.

5.7 Flow Control

NOTICE

Chamber Vent

MAINTENANCE

Nitrogen Is Vented Inside Integrated

Flow Control Box.

A small amount of nitrogen gas is vented internally to provide cooling, safety, and a slight positive pressure.

To prevent continuous building of pressure, the flow control chamber is externally vented.

!

CAUTION

Expansion Plugs

!

CAUTION

Do Not Remove Integrated Flow

Control Expansion Plugs

Expansion plugs are a necessary safety feature. In the unlikely event of a rapid expansion of gases inside the flow control, these holes will provide a predictable vent area.

Removing these plugs will allow dust and dirt to enter the flow control.

Do not use these holes for cable or hose entry. Use proper entry points.

Dirt And Dust Inside IFC May

Damage Precision Components

Seal all undersized cables and unused holes in strain reliefs with foam tape

(weather stripping) to prevent unwanted dust entry inside the IFC.

5.8 Proportional Valve Removal

MAINTENANCE

Proportional Valves can be removed if replacement is required, without disassembling the manifold from the IFC box.

1. Access the outside bottom of the unit by unbolting the IFC box from the machine.

2. Remove the hole plugs to expose cap screws holding the valves.

WARNING

CAUTION

TROUBLESHOOTING

Electric Shock Can Kill!

Externally disconnect all primary power to the machine before servicing.

Open the line (wall) disconnect switch or circuit breaker before attempting inspection or work inside the power source.

High Voltages Can Be Stored In

Capacitors.

Even when power is disconnected or unit is de-energized, capacitors can store high voltages. Assure power supply capacitors are grounded prior to performing maintenance.

Gas Line Contamination Will

Damage Proportional Valves

Purge Gas Lines

Before connecting gas delivery lines to the

Integrated Flow Control, purge all lines thoroughly. Residue from the hose manufacturing process may clog/damage the proportional valves in your flow control.

6.2 Troubleshooting Guide

6.2.1 Reduced Consumable Life

TROUBLESHOOTING

Cutting Up Skeletons Cutting skeletons (discarded material left after all pieces have been removed from a plate) to facilitate their removal from the table can adversely affect electrode life by:

·

Causing the torch to run off the work.

·

Continuous Pilot Arc edge starts

·

Greatly increasing the frequency of starts. This is mainly a problem for O

2

cutting and can be alleviated by choosing a path with a minimum number of starts.

·

Increase likelihood that the plate will spring up against the nozzle causing a double arc. This can be mitigated by careful operator attention and by increasing standoff and reducing cutting speeds.

If possible, use a gas torch for skeleton cutting.

Height Control Problems ·

Torch diving is usually caused by a change in arc voltage when an automatic height control is in use. Usually the voltage change is the result of plate falling away from the arc. These problems can effectively be eliminated by disabling the height control and extinguishing the arc earlier when finishing the cut on a falling plate.

·

Diving can also be caused by a faulty height control.

Piercing Standoff Too Low Increase pierce standoff

Starting on edges with continuous pilot arc

Position torch more carefully or start on adjacent scrap material.

Work Flipping The nozzle may be damaged if the torch hits a flipped up part.

Catching on Pierce Spatter Increase standoff or start with longer lead-in

Pierce not complete before starting Increase initial delay time.
