Water Table Operation
The water level is controlled in the Plate Setup menu in the VMD software to raise and lower the machine in the
5100 water table configuration.
Lincoln Electric Cutting Systems recommends PlateGuard™ Water Table Additive to maintain the water in the
table. See the PlateGuard specifications for more details.
FILL / DRAIN
Table Drain
• The water table is controlled by the HMI.
• When you press RAISE WATER, compressed air
is pushed into the lower chamber. This "pushes"
the water up into the cutting table.
• When you press LOWER WATER, the ball valve
will OPEN, releasing the compressed air from the
bottom chamber. This allows the upper chamber
to drain the water into the lower chamber.
• To completely drain your table, use the 2" QC ball
valve in the FRONT LEFT of the table.
Water Capacity
• Torchmate 5100 models hold approximately 428
gallons, or 1,620 liters.
• PlateGuard Quantity - 35 gal.
