4.5 Cut Quality
4.5.1 Introduction
Causes affecting cut quality are interdependent.
Changing one variable affects all others. Determining a
solution may be difficult. The following guide offers
possible solutions to undesirable cutting results. To
begin select the most prominent condition:
§
4.5.2 Cut angle, negative or positive
§
4.5.3 Cut not flat, rounded or undercut
§
4.5.4 Surface roughness
§
4.5.5 Dross
§
4.5.6 Dimensional Accuracy
§
Process Data
Usually the recommended cutting parameters will give
optimal cut quality. Occasionally conditions may vary
and slight adjustments will be required. If so:
·
Make small incremental adjustments when making
corrections.
·
Adjust arc voltage in one volt increments, up or
down as required.
Adjust cutting speed 5% or less as required, until
conditions improve.
NOTICE
Before attempting ANY corrections, check cutting
variables with the factory recommended
settings/consumable part numbers listed in Process
Data.

Operation
4.5.6 Dimensional Accuracy
Generally, using the slowest possible speed (within
approved levels) will optimize part accuracy. Most
material thickness overlap for different voltages.
Select consumables to allow a lower arc voltage
and slower cutting speed.
4.6 Process Data
NOTICE
Recommended cutting speed and arc voltage will
give optimal cutting performance.
Small incremental adjustments may be needed due
to material quality, material temperature and specific
alloy. The operator should remember that all
cutting variables are interdependent. Changing one
setting affects all others and cut quality could
deteriorate. Always start at the recommended
settings.
Before attempting ANY corrections, check cutting
variables with the factory recommended settings/
consumable part numbers listed in the process
data.

5.3 PT-20AMX Plasmarc Torch
! WARNING
Before any maintenance is attempted on
this torch, make sure the POWER SWITCH
on the console is in the OFF position and
the PRIMARY INPUT POWER is
DE-ENERGIZED.
5.3.1 General
1. Periodically check heat shield, electrode holder
assembly, electrode nozzle seat, and electrode
insulator. Replace if worn or damaged.
2. Apply a thin film of lubricant 17672 (supplied in
spare parts kit) to O-ring. Check O-ring for damage
whenever shield is removed. Replace if necessary.
3. Power and pilot arc cables should be inspected
periodically. If cuts through protective sheath or if
gas leaks are noted, replace damaged component.
5-6
SECTION 5
Maintenance
5.3.2 Dirt or Contamination
Dirt or other contamination in the torch and loose
consumable parts can cause premature failure of
the PT-20AM Torch through internal arcing. To
avoid this, users are instructed to do the following:
1. Ensure that clean, dry, or oil-free air is being
used.
2. Avoid excessive use of the silicone o-ring
grease used to lubricate the torch o-ring. A thin
film is sufficient.
3. Wipe the torch body insulator clean with a
cloth before installing each fresh set of
consumables. The ability of the insulator to resist
arc tracking over its surface is reduced when dirt
or other contamination is allowed to collect there.
5.3.3 Loose Consumables
Tests have shown that with proper use of the torch
within rated operating conditions (especially arc
current and gas flow rate), the torch consumable
parts do not become loose if they are firmly
installed in the first place.
1. Tighten heat shield fully at each consumable
change or inspection. “Fully” means at least 5
mm of rotation after electrode seat contacts
electrode holder.
NOTE: trying to rotate the portion of the nozzle
extending outside heat shield can check
consumable tightness.
2. Check consumable tightness at beginning of
each work shift, even if everything was working
normally at the end of the previous shift.
3. Ensure that the torch electrode seat and
electrode holder are clean and free of dust or dirt
Debris may prevent mating surfaces from having
solid contact.
5-7
SECTION 5
CAUTION
Maintenance
The torch requires good electrical contact
between the electrode seat and electrode
holder. If good contact is not maintained,
then the resulting potential difference
causes internal arcing and possible torch
damage.
5.3.4 Damage Caused by Loose Parts and Torch Overheating.
Electrode Insulator (21373)
Arc tracking indicates loose parts. Make sure heat
shield is tightened fully, at least 5mm of rotation
after electrode seat contacts electrode holder.
Check tightness again after a few minutes of use.
Parts damaged by arcing will cause destruction of
torch. Parts damaged by arcing must be replaced.
Deformation at this edge indicates
torch overheating. Check gas
pressure, gas flow rate and current
setting. Deformation leads to loose
parts and internal arcing. Do not
operate torch with a deformed
insulator.
5.3.5 Consumables- Remove and Replace
1. Bring torch to a position where it is easily
accessed by machine operator, in its normal
vertical position and at least 6 inches above the
workpiece or the edge of the water table.
! WARNING
Make sure that the power source has been
turned off and that the power cable has
been unplugged at the wall receptacle
before proceeding.
2. Unscrew the heat shield and lower it away
from the torch, allowing nozzle and electrode
assembly to remain with shield.
5-8
SECTION 5
Maintenance
3. Remove the nozzle and electrode assembly
from the shield and inspect for wear. The nozzle
orifice should be round at both the entrance and
the exit. If the nozzle orifice is worn in an oval
shape or shows other signs of damage at either
end, it should be replaced. The inside of the nozzle
may have light gray deposits from the electrode.
These may be removed with steel wool but care
must be taken to remove all traces of the steel
wool afterward.
If the electrode has a pit that is more than 1.5mm
deep at its center, replace it. Grasp the electrode
holder with the fingers using the two flats and
grasp the electrode between the thumb and finger
of the other hand and twist.
1,5 mm
Inspect electrode insulator and electrode holder
assembly for signs of damage such as arc tracking
or cracking and replace them if any are found.
Insure that the baffle tube is securely threaded into
the electrode holder, but do not over tighten. Use
the small hex end of the plastic wrench in the
spare parts kit.
After installing the electrode insulator onto the
electrode holder assembly, install electrode by
reversing the procedure used to remove it. Note
that firm tightening of the electrode by hand is
sufficient. The use of tools such as wrenches or
pliers is not required or recommended.
4. Inspect heat shield for signs of damage or
wear. The gas holes inside shield should not be
blocked by debris, and there should be no signs of
arcing anywhere inside the shield. The outer
insulating jacket of the shield should not be
severely charred or eroded. Replace the heat
shield if any of the above damage is found.
.

SECTION 5
Maintenance
5. Inspect the o-ring on the torch. If it shows
signs of wear or damage, replace it. If it is dry,
lubricate it with a thin film of lubricant supplied with
spare parts kit
Inspect o-ring of torch
6. Install the nozzle and the electrode assembly
into heat shield and thread heat shield onto torch.
The shield should be tightened fully to insure good
electrical contact for electrode and nozzle. "Fully"
means at least 3/16 inch of rotation after electrode
seat contacts electrode holder.
5.3.6 Measuring Torch Gas Flows
Check gas flow if suspected of causing poor
cutting performance. Use Plasma Torch Flow
Measuring Kit. (P/N 19765)The kit includes a hand
held rotameter (flowmeter) that indicates the gas
flow rate exiting the torch. The kit also includes a
set of instructions that should be followed exactly
to insure safe and accurate use of the rotameter.
Total air flow rate in the PT-20AMX should be
325cfh minimum with any nozzle at 75 psi.

SECTION 6
Troubleshooting
6.2.4 Fault light activates when torch is signaled to fire
The Fault circuit is used to monitor conditions
necessary for the safe operation of the PCM-875. The
fault light will glow amber under the following conditions
and operations will come to a complete stop:
· High/Low line voltage. The Fault Light will rapidly
blink on and off (5 times per second). This indicates
that the input voltage is outside the “+” or “-” 15% safe
operating range rating.
· Flow fault - The fault light will be mostly on but will
blink off for 1/10th of a second every second. This
indicates that the air flow is low.
6-4
§
Check the air pressure at the machine regulator.
It should be adjusted to 65 psig. If no air pressure,
check the air at the supply point. Also, check for
any obstructions in the air hose.
§
Air flow may be blocked at the torch tip. Check
the torch consumables. Also check for any
obstructions in the torch leads.
§
NOTE:
If above items check OK , the
problem is internal. send unit to an Authorized
Repair Station for repair.
§
Put the ‘Air Check’ switch to On position. Air
should flow through torch. If
not, then the
flow switch may be stuck due to oil in the air. Clean
air flow switch per supplier’s instructions or replace
switch. To check if the flow switch is open, put
voltmeter leads between P1-12 and P1-1. It should
read about 12 VDC. When the flow switch closes,
the voltage will drop to zero volts.
§
Air Check switch may also be malfunctioning if
the air is flowing continuously or
putting in the
On position does not turn air on.
SECTION 6
Fault light activates (continued)
Troubleshooting
· Over Temperature. The fault light will be mostly off
but will blink on for 1/10 of a second, every second.
This generally indicates that the duty cycle has been
exceeded. Allow the power source to cool before
returning to operate.
§
Thermal switch may be open. It will open if the
temperature at the IGBT base reaches 94oC. With
the machine power off, check the continuity
between P1-1 and P1-2 of the control board. If the
switch is OK, then the ohmmeter should read a
direct short. If not then it should read open.
§
If the switch is malfunctioning, replace it. Clean
the surface of the heat sink before installing the
switch.
· Over Current. The fault light will be on continuously.
This indicates that the input current to the main
transformer has exceeded preset limits.
§
To check if the output is shorted, measure the
resistance by putting the ohmmeter leads (make
sure to disconnect HI Frequency leads):”+” of the
meter to Torch “+” output terminal and Work “-”
lead of the meter to the “-” output terminal.
Reading should be about 2 K Ohms. Reverse the
voltmeter leads, the resistance reading should be
less than 1.5 K Ohms.
If the resistance reading is different than above, check
the torch, the output bridge and Filter Board (PCB-5).

· Check to assure high frequency is present at torch.
If not, then listen for high frequency at high frequency
generator. It is located on bottom/right side of the unit.
High frequency gap is set to .040". Disconnect HI
FREQUENCY leads. Check for 115 volt supply to high
frequency unit between P2-12 & P2-13 of control
board with torch switch closed.
· With HI FREQUENCY leads disconnected,
measure open circuit voltage. It should be 275 VDC
between “Work” and “Torch” terminals. If it is not
present then any one of the following may not be
working properly:
§
Check the operation of the Thermal Switch. See
D.3.a. above.
§
Check Air Check switch operation. It might be
stuck in On position. Pilot arc will not initiate if this
switch is in the ON position. (safety reasons)
§
Check air flow switch. There may be internal
short. See D.2.c above.
§
Measure voltage across C1 or C2 capacitor. It
should be as follows:
approx. 325 VDC for the 208/230 volt unit.
approx. 280 VDC to 325 VDC for 400 volt unit
If not, one of following could be malfunctioning:
6-6
§
Check the capacitors C1 and C2 for any
damage.
§
Check input bridge/SCR Module (IBR) This can
be checked without taking it out of the circuit using
an volt/ohmeter. Replace it if found malfunctioning.
Follow bridge installation instructions.
§
Check Inrush current resistor, R10 and SCR1.
Both are located on the input bridge heat sink.
