PREMIUM PLASMA CUTTING EN 60974/1
TORCH TECHNOLOGY
BACK STRIKING
Back striking represents the best solution for plasma torches up
to 60A. In conventional torches without high frequency, the arc
striking is obtained by means of compressed air which moves
away the electrode head from the inner part of the nozzle. This
system causes, in the plasma flow exit area, both electrode and
nozzle material deterioration because of burns and deformations
subsequent to pilot arc striking between them. In contrast, the
back striking system takes place in the rear side of the electrode
and nozzle, thus leaving clean and unaltered the flow exit area.
MAIN ADVANTAGES
• Longer life of the consumables
• Striking is always precise and safe
• Better cutting quality over time
HIGH PERFORMANCE CUTTING - HPC
High Performance Cutting technology permits the generation
of radial and swirling gas flows to the cutting arc axis, thus
creating a plasma beam at a very high temperature that melts
and vaporizes the surface being cut in a more efficient way.
This technology also avoids the phenomenon of the double arc
- formation of two arcs in series between the cathode and the
workpiece surface - the main reason for damage to the nozzle
and arc instability by ensuring the highest quality and the
best cutting performance, together with a longer life of the
consumables.
High Performance Cutting technology is the very best choice for
plasma torches with nominal cutting currents above 60A.
New High Performance Cutting SK torches increase the
density of the plasma cutting beam and reduce the width of the
arc cut area, by producing a narrower and less inclined cut.
This is achieved by easily removing the molten material with a
consequent improvement of the cutting quality, which shows
neat cuts, lack of dross, minimal heat-affected zone and
sufficiently squared edges.
MAIN ADVANTAGES
• Better cutting quality
• High cutting speeds
• Narrower cuts
• Longer life of the consumables
