dangerous to the operator.
When the equipment is scrapped, it should be dismantled separating components according to the
type of materials.
Do not dispose of the equipment with normal waste. The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment states the electrical equipment that has reached its end of life must
be collected separately and returned to an environmentally compatible recycling facility.
Handling of Compressed gas cylinders and regulators
All cylinders and pressure regulators used in welding operations should be handled with care.
Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other electrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.
Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet when opening the cylinder valve.
Always secure the cylinder safely
Never deface or alter any cylinder
Functions and characteristics of the cutting machine
Advanced digital control mode
The Plasma cutting machines JP 61/81 MUC intelligent digital control technology, and all its major
functions are performed using software controls. The digital control plasma cutting machine offers
many improvements in function and performance when compared with the traditional type plasma
cutting machines.
With PWM technology and high power component IGBTs, it inverts the DC voltage, which is rectified
from 50Hz/60Hz input AC voltage, to 30K~50KHz AC high voltage. The voltage is dropped and rectified
to output the DC power supply for cutting. This inverter technology provides a machine which is smaller
and much less weight than the traditional style machine. The technology provides a high efficiency unit
and the switching frequency is outside the audible range.
Good consistency and stable performance
In traditional machines consistency and performance is often governed by the tolerances of the
components used in manufacture and environmental such as temperature and humidity. In some cases
the same machine brand and type can vary in performance due to tolerance differences. One of the
characteristics of digital control is that it is not sensitive to the change of these parameters. The
performance of cutting machine will not be affected by the change of the parameters of individual
parts. Therefore, the consistency and stability of performance of the digital control cutter is better than
that of traditional cutter.
Powerful cutting performance
These machines provide economical cutting of metals using compressed air as the plasma gas source.
The cutting speed is 1.8 times when compared with oxyacetylene cutting. The machines can cut steel, s
stainless steel, copper, cast iron and aluminium easily and quickly. The arc is easy to ignite arc and uses
a non HF arc ignition mode. There is a post-flow function operates to cool the torch after cutting. The
simple operation and high cutting speed, smooth cutting surface make the plasma process and
excellent cutting method.
