DEFECTS
SOLUTIONS
Destruction of the nozzle
- The destruction of a nozzle can be caused by :
- a power increase which is too quick : increase the power run-up
time-delay,
- contact with the part due to a metal projection during arcing in
middle of sheet metal: raise the torch at time of transfer,
- direct contact with the part,
- a lack of cutting gas : check the flowrate or the cutting gas circuit,
- intensity too great for the diameter of the nozzle used: see scale,
- poor cooling : check the flow on the return circuit and the
temperature of the cooling circuit.
Destruction or rapid wear of flat electrodes - Check the condition of the gas barrel.
- Increase the flowrate of the cutting gas.
- Check the cooling circuit.
- Dipping tube in poor condition (water flowrate condition).
