PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The new, redesigned DIGI-CUT70 are non high
frequency start machines. The “blow-back” type
start that they use is safe for use in CNC
applications and is ideal for general use. The
elimination of the HF points within the unit also
improves reliability and removes the need for
regular HF point gap maintenance. Blow-back
type start involves a rear-ward movement of
the electrode within the torch head when forced by
the air pressure. When air pressure is applied the
movement of the electrode off its seated position
against the inner surface of the circuit grounded
nozzle creates a spark, energizing the plasma
stream. This type start means that it has a pilot
arc design so that cutting can be done on any metal
surface without having to contact to strike an arc
and is ideal for cutting items like expanded metal or
uneven surfaces. There are several other key
features on the PowerPlasma :
A.
IGBT construction is designed to improve
reliability while make servicing a unit quicker,
and more cost efficient. Using mostly non
proprietary components ensures long term
serviceability.
B.
OK-to-Cut light stays lit while the plasma
cutter is within the minimum limits needed for
the torch to function without burning up. If the
light goes out an automatic override kicks in
and shuts down the unit until the air pressure
is back to a sustainable level. Minimum air
pressure is set at about 35 psi, which is not
ideal, but will prevent premature torch failure.
RECOMMENDED PROCESSES AND
EQUIPMENT
RECOMMENDED PROCESSES
General Use and Care
:
The
Plasma
cutter
is
designed
for
use
in
many
industrial
environments
such
as
ship
yards,
fabrication
shops
and
pipelines.
However,
care
should
be
taken
to
keep
the
unit
out
of
direct
contact
with
water
spray.
The
unit
is
rated
IP21S,
which
rates
it
for
light
contact
with
dripping
water.
It
is
a
good
idea
to
remove
the
welder
from
the
vicinity
of
any
water
or
moisture
source
to
reduce
the
possibility
of
electrocution
or
shock.
Never
operate
in
standing
water.
This
unit
has
a
high
Open
circuit
voltage
further
necessitating
safe
operating
practices.
Use
only
in
a
protected/sheltered
area
while
connected
to
a
CNC
water
table.
The
operator
should
be
careful
to
prevent
splashing/spraying
water
in
the
direction
of
the
plasma
cutter.
Every
1
‐
2
months,
depending
upon
use,
the
welder
should
be
unplugged,
opened
up
and
carefully
cleaned
with
dry,
compressed
air.
Regular
maintenance
will
extend
the
life
of
the
unit.
IMPORTANT: Before opening the unit for
any reason,make sure the unit has been
unplugged for at least 10 minutes to allow
time for the capacitors to fully discharge.
Severe shock and/or death can occur.
Do
not
restrict
air
flow
or
movement
of
air
around
the
plasma
cutter.
Allow
a
buffer
distance
of
2
ft.
from
all
sides
if
possible,
with
a
minimum
distance
of
at
least
18”
clearance.
Do
not
direct
metallic
dust
or
any
dirt
intentionally
toward
the
machine,
particularly
in
grinding
and
cutting
operations.
Make
sure
the
panel
is
protected
from
damage
during
welding
and
cutting
operations
by
flipping
down
the
clear
protective
cover.
RECOMMENDED QUIPMENT/INTERFACE
(See Installed Options in Accessories Section for
more details)
The
Plasma
cutter
will be available as a basic
Machine (Only) and in Factory Basic module will
also be available as with Domestic,.
(
SEE PACKING LIST,PLEASE
)
CUTTING CAPABILITY(Duty Cycle)
The
Plasma
cutter
is rated at 70 amps, 98 volts,
at 60% duty cycle on a ten minute basis. It is
capable of higher duty cycles at lower output
currents. See rated output graph, on specification
sheet located in the Installation Section. If the duty
cycle is exceeded, a thermal protector will shut off
the output until the machine cools.
