The control circuit of this cutting machine adopts advanced electronic part IGBT
as the main inverter switch component. Three-phase AC power is converted to
20KHz high-frequency DC current after being rectified by three phase rectifier. Then
under the function ofIGBT inverter the DC current is inverted to AC high frequency
current,which is invertedto DCcurrent afterexperiencingvoltage reduction inhigh
frequency transformer,current rectifying in fast recovery diode. This DC current is
filtered through reactor, and the output cutting current is obtained. Control circuit
can control output current by controlling driven pulse width. The real time cutting
current, which is obtained through current sensor connected to output terminal in
series, is used as negative feedback control signal. After comparing with current
adjusting signal, the negative control signal is sent to PWM adjusting integrated
circuit, then acontrolled driving pulse is output to control IGBT.Thereby aconstant
output current can be maintained, and a steep dropping & constant current external
characteristic is obtained. Striking arc adopts high-frequency striking model. The
main circuit refers to appendix figure, and principle diagram of control circuit is

Notes of anti-interference (Specially pay attention when work on CNC automatic
cutting equipment)
Cover the whole torch cable (from torch holder to output terminal ) of the
cutterwith shieldinglayer,the shieldinglayer should bemetal hoseor shielding
net pipe made of aluminum or copper, metal materials which is magnetic
conducted can not be used, the shielding layer don't need to connect with
ground;
All the control lines which connected with plasma power source should be
shielding wire, the shielding layer should be connected ground well;
The control system of CNC cutting machine should be away from the cutting
table, torch cables and cutting torch head, especially the cutting torch heard.
When striking arc, the high frequency spark arc on the cutting torch head may
produce strong space spreading high frequency disturb signal, which may crash
the control system;
There should be shields on the controller of CNC system, and the shielding
layers should be ground connected well;
All the lines connected with CNC controller and cutting table should be shielding

7)
Keep the torch nozzle 2mm~ 5mm away from work-piece. The axis line of nozzle
should be perpendicular to work-piece, and starts cutting from the edge of
work-piece. When the plate thickness is ≤12mm, a hole can be drilled on work-piece
and thencutting can be started around the hole.The cutting torch should inclined to
one side a little during drilling a hole on work-piece, so that the molten metal can be
blownaway easily.Todrill a holeby use of plasma arcis not proposed, because this
will damage nozzle easily, it is better to drill a hole in arc striking point first, then
strikes arc on the edge of hole. Press down torch switch, compressed gas sprays out
from nozzle, and cutting indicating lamp is ON. After gas pre-flows for 1 to 2 seconds,
high frequency is generated,arc is stroke,and cutting begins bymoving torch;
8)
When the control switch of operation method on front panel is at 2-Step point,
press down thetorch switch and cutting starts after arc striking. After loosening the
switch, there is no voltage output, and cutting ends, and compressed gas stops
supply in 9 seconds. Whenit is at 4-Steppoint, press downthe switch andloosen it,
and cutting starts after arc striking automatically. Press the switch again or press it
till the arc is off,then there is no voltage output, cutting ends, and compressed gas
stops supply in 9 seconds.
Cutting technologyinstruction
1、 The related main technical parameters
The selection of cutting technical parameters is based on the cutting material and
thickness. If the material is thick, it should adopt large current and nozzle with big
aperture. For different material under the same thickness, the parameter should also be
different.

IW
Inverter Plasma Cutting Machine
WARPP ENGINEERS PVT LTD

The three main dimension of nozzle are the diameter of nozzleφ, the hole pass
length ι and the compacted angle α, they all can affect the cutting. There should be a
certain proportion between ι and φ, the value is usually lower than 2, and it usually
takesι=1.5 ∼ 1.8 , the compact angle usually takes α=30°~60°, and now it usually
The selection of cutting current should be according to the diameter of the nozzle,
therelationship betweenthe twoshould beas: I(currentA)=(70~100)×φ(mm).As the
increase of the metal thickness, the influence of arc current to the cutting speed will
become less. But as the increase of current, the burning damage will be worse for the
electrode and the nozzle. So when cutting a thick metal work-piece, usually the increase
of cutting speed is made by increasing arc voltage. The actual arc voltage is decided not
only by the gas type but also by the air flux and nozzle shape. Working voltage increases
with the increase of gas flux.
The arc voltage increases as the increase of air flow, that is, the arc power, the
cutting speed, as well as the cutting capacity and quality is improved accordingly.
Because the arc compression level increases, the energy is more concentrated, the arc
beam temperature, the arc spraying speed, as well as the arc current impulsion increases.
But overlarge current may cause the instability of the plasma arc. Usually no change is
made to air flow for one torch. But it can be adjusted a little when the cutting torch or
cutting thickness isdifferent.
When electrode inner contraction
∆L
y
is so small that electrode extends into spray
hole, electrode is damaged seriously by air flow impact and the combination function
between high temperature gas and electrode. This leads to the instability of plasma arc,
weak compression effect, and weak cutting penetration ability that cutting cannot be
proceeded. If ∆Lyis too big, the arc is so unstable that the cutting ability is weakened.
The electrode end should be placed within siphoning zone of gas current under a relative
vacuum condition, and it will difficult to damage electrode by burning, as well as this is
beneficial for compression of arc. ∆Lyis about 2-4mm.
If the d istoo big, the blow power of plasma arc formolten metal decreases, sodoes
the cutting ability, and the burr on the bottom increases, meanwhile the instability of
thearc increases.However,if thed istoo small,it increasesthepossibility ofshort circuit
between the nozzle and the work-piece. Usually d should be as small as possible on
condition that no short circuit is caused between nozzle and work-piece. The d under
normal cutting of air plasma is usually 2~ 5mm. The work-piece can also contact with
work-piece. This cutting method is called contact cutting, and the cutting thickness is the
half as the ordinary cutting.
The power source with high open circuit voltage is required for cutting thick
work-piece.Theopen circuitvoltageis relatedwithair type,forexample,byusingargon

IW

the open circuit voltage may be lower, while it is higher by using air, nitrogen, hydrogen.
The cutting speed is related with many parameters. The main parameters
determining cutting speed include work-piece thickness, cutting current, air flux and
nozzle aperture. A proper drag is allowed during cutting. The cutting speed should be
increased as much as possible, but the incision quality must be guaranteed.
2 、 Eliminate the cutting burr
The ordinary cutting surface is smooth and clean, but if the parameter
selection is not suitable, and electrode centering is not good, then burr may be
formed on the cutting surface.
Slag is formed by molten metal and its oxide which is adhesive to the bottom
edge of incision and solidified. The reason for forming this slag is that the molten
metal adhesive strength is bigger than the gravity and blow strength of metal oxide.
When cutting the alloy steel, the molten metal is difficult to be blown away
because of its bad fluidity, in addition, the alloy steel have bad thermal conductivity,
the incision bottomis over-heated easily,the left moltenmetal and incision bottom
melts into one, thereby the irremovable and tough burr is formed.
On the contrary, the incision bottom is difficult to be melted together with
molten metal, and the burr formed under incision is come off easily.
The fluidity of the molten metal is not good, when the power is too small or the
plasma arc compression effect is not good, the temperature of molten metal during
the cutting process is low, fluidity is weak, even if the air current blow force is
strong, it is still difficult to blowaway the metal completely, so the burr is formed.
When cutting the thick plate, the burr is caused by the drag of overlarge cutting
seam. During the cutting process, the heat received by different parts of metal is
different, the heat on the upper incision is larger than that of the lower incision, so
the upper part melting speed is faster than that of lower part, thereby a distance
between them isformed, it is calleddrag L of cutting seam.The drag size isrelated
to plasma arc shape and cutting speed. When the flame is short while the cutting
speed is too fast, drag L increases, so the vertical and horizontal blow forceof the
arc is formed, the vertical one helps to blow away the molten metal, while the
horizontal one makes the moltenmetal flow backward alongwith incision bottom,
this over-heated metal will melt parts of the bottom metal again, then the burr is
formed when they cool down and melt together.
The burr is caused by overheat bottom. When the cutting speed is too slow, but
the incision bottom is so over-heated that it melts, the liquid metal flows to bottom
metal and combines into one which makes the difficulty to blow away molten
metal by air current, and then the burr is formed.
The air current blow force is not enough. When cutting with plasma, the arc
blow forceconsists of the air current blow forceand the arcelectromagnetic force,
the air current blow force acts the main function. If the air current blow force is not
strong enough,it cannot ensureall the burris flown away,then theburr isformed.

Ensure the centering between electrode and nozzle precisely, so that the
compression of the plasma arc is not damaged, the concentration of flame and
cutting capacity can be guaranteed.
Enough power to ensure the fluidity of molten metal, as well as increase the
stability of the cutting speed and operation. This makes it possible to adopt large
air flux to enlarge the air blow force, and beneficial for eliminating burr.
Adjust suitable air flux and cutting speed. If the air flux is too small, the blow
forceis not enough, while if too big, the plasma arc will be shorten, the incision will
be “V” shape, the drag enlarge. The burr can be formed under both conditions.
When cutting speed is too slow,the incision is large and rough, the bottom is easy
to be over-heated, while the cutting speed is fast, the drag is enlarged, this is not
beneficial for eliminatingburr.
So under certain circumstance, there exists a proper selection range for air flux and
cutting speed.
The incision surface is a little slant and the upper side is a little round during
cutting with air plasma. Though the slanting range is acceptable during the cutting
process, in order to improve the cutting quality, people begins to pay attention to this
problem. Usually slowing down the cutting speed properly can avoid the slanting, but
this may enlarge the effect zone and incision width, as well as decrease the production
capacity, so this measurement is not wildly used. Recently, people can avoid the
slanting by improving the nozzle structure, this is called super cutting method. By
adopting multi-hole nozzle during the cutting process, the air current from the small
hole is parallel with that from the main hole, this can avoid the dispersing of the
plasma flame on metal top, and then a parallel incision, square upper side and no
metal slag seam on the lower side is obtained.
