Gas Console
This unit houses metering and solenoid valves for shield and plasma gases, flow meters and pressure gauges
for nitrogen and oxygen plasma, and a pressure gauge for the shield gas supply. The gas console interfaces
with the plasma and shield gas supplies, the power supply, the RHF console, and the motor valve console.
Motor Valve Console
This unit houses a motorized metering valve for plasma gas as well as a solenoid valve that switches to allow
plasma gas flow for both preflow and operation modes. The motor valve console interfaces with the power
supply, gas console and the torch. Note: The motor valve console must be mounted 10 feet (3 m) from the
torch.
Argon-Hydrogen Manifold – Optional
This unit houses a flowmeter for argon-hydrogen, a metering valve, a plasma gas outlet switch and a separate
plasma-off valve. (The plasma-off valve for nitrogen and oxygen is located at the torch). The argon-hydrogen
manifold interfaces with the supply gas, the power supply, and the torch.
Remote Voltage/Current (V/C) Control – Optional
This unit provides accurate operator control of the arc voltage and current. It includes high intensity LED
displays which indicate the setpoints for volts and amperes prior to starting the arc. After the arc is initiated,
the displays automatically switch to show the actual values of the voltage and current reached. This unit
interfaces with the power supply. Two different types of remote V/C controls are available:
Digital Remote
- Includes the voltage and current displays and two potentiometers used to select the desired
values. It is used with guidance machinery that already includes plasma control switches.
Programmable Remote
- Includes the voltage and current displays. No switches or potentiometers are
included. All functions are controlled by the guidance machinery computer. This unit also interconnects with
the computer interface.
