2T.02 General Description
Plasma torches are similar in design to the
automotive spark plug. They consist of negative
and positive sections separated by a center
insulator. Inside the torch, the pilot arc starts in
the gap between the negatively charged electrode
and the positively charged tip. Once the pilot
arc has ionized the plasma gas, the superheated
column of gas flows through the small orifice in
the torch tip, which is focused on the metal to be
cut.
A single torch lead provides gas from a single
source to be used as both the plasma and
secondary gas. The air flow is divided inside the
torch head. Single - gas operation provides a
smaller sized torch and inexpensive operation.
