FEATURES
THE TOTALLY-AUTOMATIC ARCAIR N6000 TORCH CAN BE USED WITH EITHER CONSTANT
CURRENT OR CONSTANT POTENTIAL WELDING POWER SOURCES.
The power mode is quickly and easily selected by means of a toggle switch located in the
N6000 System’s controller. Previous Arcair-Matic Torches operated only with constant current
power input.
A SINGLE ELECTRODE CONTACT SHOE ASSEMBLY ACCEPTS THE ENTIRE RANGE OF ARCAIR
GOUGING ELECTRODES FROM 5/16” (7.9 mm) THROUGH 3/4” (19.1 mm.
The N6000 torch eliminates the necessity of stocking or changing contact shoe assemblies
when changing electrode sizes.
ONE CONTACTOR (1600 AMP) ACCEPTS CURRENT FOR THE ENTIRE AMPERAGE/DIAMETER
RANGE OF GOUGING ELECTRODES FROM 5/16” (7.9 mm) THROUGH 3/4” (19.1 mm).
This feature eliminates the need to use two different Contactors, one for high amperage
capability for large diameter electrodes and another for lower amperage for the smaller size
electrodes. Equipment costs are minimized and important timesavings are realized.
ENSURES CONFORMITY TO PRE-DETERMINED, PRE-SELECTED GROOVE DEPTH AND WIDTH
SPECIFICATIONS.
Simply select the proper electrode diameter and other operating parameters and the system
does the rest - automatically, from the beginning of the groove to the end.
A UNIQUE “TRAVEL DELAY” FUNCTION ASSURES EXCELLENT GROOVE GEOMETRY AT THE VERY
BEGINNING OF THE GROOVE.
This function eliminates a sloped groove at the beginning of the gouge, eliminating the need
for a starting pad.
A REMOTE CONTROL PENDANT PUTS INSTANT “START-STOP” CONTROL INTO THE OPERATOR’S
HAND.
This permits the operator to move along with the torch and travel system, eliminating the need
to return to the control panel of the N6000 system for “Start-Stop” functions.
NO CURRENT DETECT AND LOW VOLTAGE FUNCTIONS SHUT DOWN THE SYSTEM WHEN THESE
CONDITIONS ARE SENSED.
These functions ensure optimum groove quality and prevent damage to the equipment and
work.
LIGHT WEIGHT TORCH HEAD
Streamlined and loaded with efficiency, yet with all the proven features of ruggedness,
dependability and Arcair quality. The lightweight of only 9-3/4 pounds (4.4 kg) allows the head
to be used for robotic and controlled manipulated applications.
