GENERAL INFORMATION

1.01 Notes, Cautions and Warnings

Throughout this manual, notes, cautions, and warnings are used to highlight important information. These highlights are categorized as follows:

NOTE

An operation, procedure, or background information which requires additional emphasis or is helpful in efficient operation of the system.

CAUTION

A procedure which, if not properly followed, may cause damage to the equipment.

WARNING

A procedure which, if not properly followed, may cause injury to the operator or others in the operating area.

1.02 Important Safety Precautions

WARNINGS

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF PLASMA ARC EQUIPMENT CAN BE DANGEROUS AND HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH.

Plasma arc cutting produces intense electric and magnetic emissions that may interfere with the proper function of cardiac pacemakers, hearing aids, or other electronic health equipment. Persons who work near plasma arc cutting applications should consult their medical health professional and the manufacturer of the health equipment to determine whether a hazard exists.

To prevent possible injury, read, understand and follow all warnings, safety precautions and instructions before using the equipment. Call 1-603298-5711 or your local distributor if you have any questions.

GASES AND FUMES

Gases and fumes produced during the plasma cutting process can be dangerous and hazardous to your health.

• Keep all fumes and gases from the breathing area. Keep your head out of the welding fume plume.

• Use an air-supplied respirator if ventilation is not adequate to remove all fumes and gases.

• The kinds of fumes and gases from the plasma arc depend on the kind of metal being used, coatings on the metal, and the different processes. You must be very careful when cutting or welding any metals which may contain one or more of the following:

Antimony Chromium Mercury Arsenic Cobalt Nickel Barium Copper Selenium Beryllium Lead Silver Cadmium Manganese Vanadium

• Always read the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) that should be supplied with the material you are using. These MSDSs will give you the information regarding the kind and amount of fumes and gases that may be dangerous to your health.

• For information on how to test for fumes and gases in your workplace, refer to item 1 in Subsection 1.03, Publications in this manual.

• Use special equipment, such as water or down draft cutting tables, to capture fumes and gases.

• Do not use the plasma torch in an area where combustible or explosive gases or materials are located.

• Phosgene, a toxic gas, is generated from the vapors of chlorinated solvents and cleansers. Remove all sources of these vapors.

• This product, when used for welding or cutting, produces fumes or gases which contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause birth defects and, in some cases, cancer. (California Health & Safety Code Sec. 25249.5 et seq.)

ELECTRIC SHOCK

Electric Shock can injure or kill. The plasma arc process uses and produces high voltage electrical energy. This electric energy can cause severe or fatal shock to the operator or others in the workplace.

• Never touch any parts that are electrically “live” or “hot.”

Manual 0-4669 1-1 GENERAL INFORMATION

• Wear dry gloves and clothing. Insulate yourself from the work piece or other parts of the welding circuit.

• Repair or replace all worn or damaged parts.

• Extra care must be taken when the workplace is moist or damp.

• Install and maintain equipment according to NEC code, refer to item 9 in Subsection 1.03, Publications.

• Disconnect power source before performing any service or repairs.

• Read and follow all the instructions in the Operating Manual.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION

Fire and explosion can be caused by hot slag, sparks, or the plasma arc.

• Be sure there is no combustible or flammable material in the workplace. Any material that cannot be removed must be protected.

• Ventilate all flammable or explosive vapors from the workplace.

• Do not cut or weld on containers that may have held combustibles.

• Provide a fire watch when working in an area where fire hazards may exist.

• Hydrogen gas may be formed and trapped under aluminum workpieces when they are cut underwater or while using a water table. DO NOT cut aluminum alloys underwater or on a water table unless the hydrogen gas can be eliminated or dissipated. Trapped hydrogen gas that is ignited will cause an explosion.

NOISE

Noise can cause permanent hearing loss. Plasma arc processes can cause noise levels to exceed safe limits. You must protect your ears from loud noise to prevent permanent loss of hearing.

• To protect your hearing from loud noise, wear protective ear plugs and/or ear muffs. Protect others in the workplace.

• Noise levels should be measured to be sure the decibels (sound) do not exceed safe levels.

• For information on how to test for noise, see item 1 in Subsection 1.03, Publications, in this manual.

PLASMA ARC RAYS

Plasma Arc Rays can injure your eyes and burn your skin. The plasma arc process produces very bright ultra violet and infra red light. These arc rays will damage your eyes and burn your skin if you are not properly protected.

• To protect your eyes, always wear a welding helmet or shield. Also always wear safety glasses with side shields, goggles or other protective eye wear.

• Wear welding gloves and suitable clothing to protect your skin from the arc rays and sparks.

• Keep helmet and safety glasses in good condition. Replace lenses when cracked, chipped or dirty.

• Protect others in the work area from the arc rays. Use protective booths, screens or shields.

• Use the shade of lens as suggested in the following per ANSI/ASC Z49.1:

Minimum Protective Suggested

Arc Current Shade No. Shade No.

Less Than 300* 8 9

300 - 400* 9 12

400 - 800* 10 14

* These values apply where the actual arc is clearly seen. Experience has shown that lighter filters may be used when the arc is hidden by the workpiece.

TROUBLESHOOTING

4.01 Introduction

This section provides service diagnostics for the CutMaster™ 151 Power Supply, allowing the Technician to isolate any faulty subassemblies. Refer to Section 5, Repairs & Replacement Procedures, for parts replacement instructions.

Under no circumstances are field repairs to be attempted on Printed Circuit Boards or other subassemblies of this unit. Evidence of unauthorized repairs will void the factory warranty.

NOTE

The troubleshooting contained in this manual is for the Power Supply only. Troubleshooting other parts of the system is covered in the manuals for those products.

4.02 Periodic Inspection & Cleaning Procedures

WARNING

Disconnect primary power and bleed down the system before disassembling the torch, leads, or power supply.

A. Logic PC Board Functions

The Logic PC Board controls the timing and sequencing of the system. It monitors gas pressure and power supply internal temperatures, and controls the gas flow. The Logic Board also controls the safety latch circuit.

After the ON/OFF switch is closed on the front panel, the AC Indicator turns on.

The GAS indicator gas pressure in the power supply to enable power sup-

ply operation.

Minimum gas pressure for power supply operation is lower than the minimum for torch operation.

When the unit is at “idle” the AC indicator on the Front Panel should be ON. When the torch is activated, the gas begins to flow. After a brief preflow, the INV ON signal is given, and the DC indicator on the Front Panel turns ON.

An open circuit voltage of approximately 230 to 300 vdc (depending on input power) is produced when the switching of the IGBTs in the Main PC Board is turned ON by an INV ON signal from the Logic PC Board. A circuit on the Logic PC Board monitors the output voltage. When the output voltage drops below 60 vdc, indicating a problem exists, the Logic PC Board sends a signal which turns OFF the INV ON Enable signal. This happens in less than 50 milliseconds.

is ON when there is sufficient

NOTE

To clean the unit, open the enclosure per procedure in section 5.05-A, Cover Removal, and use a vacuum cleaner to remove any accumulated dirt and dust. The unit should also be wiped clean. If necessary, solvents for cleaning electrical apparatus may be used.

Refer to the Appendix for maintenance schedule and procedures.

Manual 0-4669 4-1 TROUBLESHOOTING

When the torch is activated, gas will flow for approximately two seconds before DC is established (indicated on the front panel). Then the gas shuts off briefly. The gas flow then starts again and the torch starts a pilot arc.

When the torch is close to the workpiece, the cutting arc "transfers" to the work.

The resulting current is sensed by the Current Sense circuit, resulting in the demand level changing from pilot current to the main current control setting, and then the main cutting arc starts. If the torch is removed from the workpiece while the torch switch is still pressed, the main arc extinguishes and the pilot arc automatically restarts.

4.04 Common Operating Problems

WARNINGS

Disconnect primary power at the source before disassembling the power supply, torch, or torch leads.

Frequently review the Important Safety Precautions in Section 1. Be sure the operator is equipped with proper gloves, clothing, and eye and ear protection. Make sure no part of the operator's body comes into contact with the workpiece while the torch is activated.

Sparks from the cutting process can cause damage to coated, painted, and other surfaces such as glass, plastic and metal.

E. Dross

When dross is present on carbon steel, it is commonly referred to as either “high speed, slow speed, or top dross”. Dross present on top of the plate is normally caused by too great a torch to plate distance. "Top dross" is normally very easy to remove and can often be wiped off with a welding glove. "Slow speed dross" is normally present on the bottom edge of the plate. It can vary from a light to heavy bead, but does not adhere tightly to the cut edge, and can be easily scraped off. "High speed dross" usually forms a narrow bead along the bottom of the cut edge and is very difficult to remove. When cutting a troublesome steel, it is sometimes useful to reduce the cutting speed to produce "slow speed dross". Any resultant cleanup can be accomplished by scraping, not grinding.

F. Parts - In - Place Circuit

Handle torch leads with care and protect them from damage.

A. Piloting

Piloting is harder on parts life than actual cutting because the pilot arc is directed from the electrode to the tip rather than to a workpiece. Whenever possible, avoid excessive pilot arc time to improve parts life.

B. Torch Standoff

Improper standoff (the distance between the torch tip and workpiece) can adversely affect tip life as well as shield cup life. Standoff may also significantly affect the bevel angle. Reducing standoff generally results in a more square cut.

C. Edge Starting

For edge starts, hold the torch perpendicular to the workpiece with the front of the torch tip at the edge of the workpiece, not touching, at the point where the cut is to start. When starting at the edge of the plate, do not pause at the edge and force the arc to “reach” for the edge of the metal. Establish the cutting arc as quickly as possible.

D. Direction of Cut

The plasma gas stream swirls as it leaves the torch. The purpose of the swirl is to maintain a smooth column of gas. The swirl effect results in one side of a cut being more square than the other. Viewed along the direction of travel, the right side of the cut is more square than the left.

The power supply connects to Models SL60 or SL100 Torches. Parts-In-Place circuitry in the power supply checks for the presence of torch consumable parts in the torch head. When the shield cup is properly installed, there is a slight gap between the shield cup and the torch handle. Gas vents through this gap as part of normal operation. Do not attempt to force the shield cup to close this gap. Forcing the shield cup against the torch head or torch handle can damage torch components.

G. Common Cutting Faults

1. Insufficient Penetration

a. Cutting speed too fast

b. Torch tilted too much

c. Metal too thick

d. Worn torch parts

e. Cutting current too low

f. Non-Genuine Thermal Dynamics parts used

2. Main Arc Extinguishes

a. Cutting speed too slow

b. Torch standoff too high from workpiece

c. Cutting current too high

d. Work cable disconnected

e. Worn torch parts

f. Non-Genuine Thermal Dynamics parts used

Manual 0-4669 5-3 SERVICE

D. Cleaning Torch

Even if precautions are taken to use only clean air with a torch, eventually the inside of the torch becomes coated with residue. This buildup can affect the pilot arc initiation and the overall cut quality of the torch.

WARNINGS

Disconnect primary power to the system before disassembling the torch or torch leads.

DO NOT touch any internal torch parts while the AC indicator light of the Power Supply is ON.

The inside of the torch should be cleaned with electrical contact cleaner using a cotton swab or soft wet rag. In severe cases, the torch can be removed from the leads and cleaned more thoroughly by pouring electrical contact cleaner into the torch and blowing it through with compressed air.

CAUTION

Dry the torch thoroughly before reinstalling.

E. O-Ring Lubrication

An O-ring on the Torch ATC Male Connector requires lubrication on a regular basis, depending on how frequently the torch is disconnected and re-connected. This will allow the O-ring to remain pliable and provide a proper seal. The O-ring will dry out, becoming hard and cracked, if the O-ring lubricant is not used on a regular basis. This can lead to performance problems.

It is recommended to apply a very light film of O-ring lubricant (Catalog # 8-4025) to the O-ring on a weekly basis.

NOTE

DO NOT use other lubricants or grease, they may not be designed to operate within high temperatures or may

contain “unknown elements” that may react with the atmosphere. This reaction can leave contaminants inside the torch. Either of these conditions can lead to inconsistent performance or poor parts life.
