    摘要: A dual mode plasma arc torch is provided that preferably comprises a start cartridge disposed between an electrode and a tip. In one form, the start cartridge comprises an initiator that is in electrical contact with the electrode and that is resiliently biased into contact with the tip, such that when the plasma arc torch is in a contact start mode, the initiator is movable against the resilient bias to separate from the tip and establish a pilot arc between the initiator and the tip. Further, when the plasma arc torch is in a high frequency start mode, the start cartridge spaces the tip from the electrode such that a pilot arc is established between the electrode and the tip. In other forms, a contact start torch is provided that is operable under high frequency, and conversely, a high frequency start torch is provided that is operable under low voltage.

    摘要: A tip gas distributor is provided that preferably comprises a plurality of swirl holes and a plurality of secondary gas holes, wherein the swirl holes direct a plasma gas to generate a plasma stream, and the secondary gas holes direct a secondary gas to stabilize the plasma stream. Additionally, a tip gas distributor is provided that comprises swirl passages and secondary gas passages formed between the tip gas distributor and an adjacent component to generate and stabilize the plasma stream. Further, methods of generating and stabilizing the plasma stream are provided through the use of the swirl holes and passages, along with the secondary gas holes and passages.

    摘要: A contact start plasma arc torch is provided that comprises an electrode, a tip, and an initiator that is resiliently biased into contact with the tip, the initiator being movable against the resilient bias to separate from the tip and establish a pilot arc between the initiator and the tip. The initiator is disposed within a start cartridge, which preferably comprises a coil spring that biases the initiator into contact with the tip. The plasma arc torch further comprises a plurality of head vent holes to vent gas from within the start cartridge during operation of the torch. Additionally, the tip defines a plurality of swirl holes and secondary gas holes to generate and control a plasma stream that is subsequently blown from a central exit orifice in the tip.
