PT60 Plasma Hand Torch
Wilkinson Star Technical
The PT60 plasma torch supplied has the
‘
euro style
’
power/gas connection, pilot cable and switch pins connections.
All Jasic plasma cutting systems and torches supplied incorporate a safety circuit to prevent operator injury when
changing consumables etc. This is a simple ring circuit that breaks the electrical torch switching as soon as the
retaining cap is removed preventing machine operation. Without such a protection circuit as previously mentioned
the open circuit voltage could be as high as 350V DC at the torch head.
The torch head encompasses a full set of consumables as shown right, these consumables are made
up of a cooling tube, torch electrode, swirl ring for gas distribution, cutting tip, retaining cap and if
required a stand off device to ensure the same distance between tip and material being cut.
