How To Use The Plasma Cutting Machine Correctly? 1

As one of the Plasma Welding Machine Suppliers, we have summarized some of the ways to use plasma cutting machines to share with you.

1. Ensure the correct pressure and flow of the plasma

The correct air pressure and flow of the plasma is very important to the life of the consumable. If the air pressure is too high, the life of the electrode will be greatly reduced; if the air pressure is too low, the life of the nozzle will be affected.

2. Use a reasonable cutting distance

According to the requirements of the instruction manual, a reasonable cutting distance is adopted. The cutting distance is the distance between the cutting nozzle and the surface of the workpiece. When piercing, try to use twice the distance of the normal cutting distance or the maximum height that can be transmitted by the plasma arc.

3. The thickness of the perforation should be within the allowable range of the machine system

Panasonic Plasma Cutter cannot be perforated on steel sheets that exceed the working thickness. The usual perforation thickness is 1/2 of the normal cut thickness.

4. Do not overload the nozzle

Overloading the nozzle (ie, exceeding the operating current of the nozzle) will cause the nozzle to be damaged quickly. The current intensity should be 95% of the operating current of the nozzle. For example, the current intensity of a 100A nozzle should be set to 95A.

5. Keep the plasma gas dry and clean

Plasma systems require dry and clean plasma gases to function properly. Dirty gases are often a problem with gas compression systems, which can shorten the life of consumables and cause abnormal damage. The method of testing the quality of the gas is to set the torch in the test state, and place a mirror underneath it, consuming the gas in the torch. If moisture and fog appear on the mirror, you need to find out the cause and correct it.
