Torch Routine Maintenance Fig. 7
Before disassembling the torch, wait until it has cooled off .
L
Torch maintenance is essential to keep machine functioning
properly.
Maintenance should be performed on a regular basis depending
on machine use and every time a cutting defect is detected.
2 Nozzle holder
Screw and unscrew the nozzle holder manually.
L
Clean the nozzle holder well and replace it if damaged (burnt,
deformed, cracked).
3 Nozzle
Replace the nozzle if the passage hole for the plasma arc has
stretched or deformed.
If the nozzle surfaces are highly oxidised, clean them with very
fi ne sandpaper.
4 Air distribution ring
Check that the air passages are not obstructed.
Clean the ring well and replace it if damaged (burnt, deformed,
cracked).
5 Electrode
Replace the electrode when the crater that is formed at the tip
is around 1.5 mm deep.
6 Torch body
The torch body does not require any routine maintenance.
Clean all the parts of the torch well. Do not use the machine if
its parts are damaged (burnt, deformed, cracked) and take the
torch to an authorised service centre for repair.
Mechanical primer torch
When replacing the electrode, Make sure that the ignition
mechanism moves freely.
If the movement results diffi cult, apply some lubricant and move
the device several times to verify it moves freely.
IMPORTANT:
remove
reassembling the torch.
USE pure Vaseline without solvents or Paraffi n oil.
ATTENTION: lubricants with solvents such as Toluene, Xylene,
Benzene or with Silicone, Lithium and Tefl on DAMAGE THE
TORCH.
Extraordinary maintenance to be carried out by expert staff
or qualifi ed electrical mechanics periodically depending on use.
(Apply the rule EN 60974-4).
• Inspect the inside of the machine and remove any dust
deposited on the electrical parts (using compressed air) and
the electronic cards (using a very soft brush and appropriate
cleaning products). • Check that the electrical connections are
tight and that the insulation on the wiring is not damaged.
