Topic: Cutting torch


In the News (Thu 16 Feb 12)

  
  Torch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Torches were often supported in sconces by brackets high up on walls, to throw light over corridors in stone structures such as castles or crypts.
Juggling torches are often used as a prop in toss juggling: they can be flipped into the air in an end-over-end motion while being juggled, in the same manner as juggling clubs or juggling knives, but because of their sound and 'trail of flame', they can appear much more impressive to audiences.
The torch is a common emblem of enlightenment.

 Oxy-fuel welding and cutting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Torches that do not mix pure oxygen with the fuel inside the torch, but burn it with atmospheric air, are not oxy-fuel torches and can be identified by their single tank.
For small torches, the hydrogen and oxygen used are often produced by electrolysis of water in an apparatus which is connected directly to the torch.
Cutting is initiated by heating the edge of the steel to melting point using the six pre-heat jets only, then using the separate cutting oxygen valve to release the oxygen from the central jet.

 Torch Height Control
The torch height control uses arc voltage (Tip Voltage) to maintain a consistent distance from the plate while the torch is cutting.
Once the torch has pierced the plate, motion of the cutting machine is enabled and the torch begins to move.
With the plasma cutting, the torch height determines the load and therefore the voltage.

 Protecting Property Against Cutting And Welding Hazards
In California, while the refrigeration piping in a cannery was being dismantled by a cutting torch, an explosion of ammonia gas remaining in a pipe caused a fire.
When cutting and welding near paint dipping or spraying rooms, areas where flammable gases are stored or used, or rooms containing loose, readily combustible material, make sure there is no possibility of sparks passing through broken or open windows, open doorways, or cracks and holes in walls, floors, or ducts.
Welding or cutting of containers that have held combustibles should be attempted only by experienced welders or cutters and under the direct supervision of persons familiar with the characteristics of the previous contents.

 Self-positioning welding or cutting torch - Patent 4389561
This invention relates to sensors which are used to detect and determine the relative position of a workpiece with respect to the tip of a torch, such as a welding or cutting torch, of the type which is movable in various and optional directions by positioning devices.
Alternatively, if the sensor 14 is used as a joint follower, the torch proceeds to point B according to the signals transmitted in a known manner by the sensor 14 to the robot, which signals correspond to the relative position of the torch with respect to the welding joint.
All three directions are scanned, without the necessity of the welding torch 7 and the sensor 14 having to be rearranged or reoriented to obtain the desried indication.

 Laser cutting vs. plasma cutting - standard metal cutting processes
Plasma (arc) cutting was developed in the 1950s for cutting of metals that could not be flame cut, such as stainless steel, aluminum and copper.
The plasma arc cutting process uses electrically conductive gas to transfer energy from an electrical power source through a plasma cutting torch to the material being cut.
The power source and arc starter circuit are connected to the cutting torch through leads and cables that supply proper gas flow, electrical current flow, and high frequency to the torch to start and maintain the process.

 Cutting-torch, gas-, gasoline-, arc-, plasma- and laser-cutting.
In a sense it could be said that the process of cutting is the exact opposite of welding: while welding consists in uniting together two separate metal pieces by progressive local melting, cutting is the progressive severing (in two or more sections) of one piece by local heating and burning away the metal.
The metallurgical effects on the cut surface are similar to those obtained during welding, and depend on the chemical composition of the base metal.
By this method it was possible with the Cutting-torch to cut aluminum and stainless steel plates at high speed with a steel wire, using an inert shielding gas to protect the newly formed surfaces from contamination.
