On / Off switch and key
- this turns the machine on and off
O.C light
– this is a general fault light, it will illuminate if the input voltage to the
machine falls below the required level, the machine develops an electronic fault, the
machine overheats, or if the torch parts are incorrectly assembled, please check the
torch with the machine off and ensure the torch is correctly assembled, the swirl ring
is present, and the electrode can move smoothly in and out. If the torch is correctly
assembled and this light still illuminates, check your power connection, and failing
this, call us and we will help you.
Regulator control
– this adjusts the output pressure of the compressed air supply to
the PlasmaPart system. In order to adjust this, lift the knob slightly and you should
hear a slight click as the knob engages, you can now turn the knob to adjust the
pressure. Clockwise to increase and anti-clockwise to decrease, when you have
adjusted it correctly push the knob back down and it will click into the locked
position.
Euro torch connection –
this is the large connection into which the torch connects, it
carries the signal from the trigger, the pilot line conductors, the compressed air and
the main torch power feed.
This is a simple connection, it orientates only one way with a lug inside and then
threads into position giving a safe, quick and positive connection for the torch.
It is important that the large copper conductor in the centre is not marked or
damaged as this will cause the connection to bind or leak or both, if this is damaged,
usually by dropping on the floor or marked it is possible to gently file the copper
around the site of the damage to enable it to engage properly, however great care
should be taken if this is carried out. If in doubt please contact us.
Output current control –
this is an infinitely variable rotational knob, which adjusts
from minimum (fully anti-clockwise) to maximum (fully clockwise) it is linear in
function and with the knob set halfway between the two extremes the output will be
set at the machines mid-point output and so on.
Work piece clamp connection -
this is an industry standard Dinze connector and is
used to connect the work piece clamp to.
