Torch With Rotational Start
US Patent:
6881921, Apr 19, 2005
Filed:
May 22, 2003

Assignee:
Thermal Dynamics Corporation - West Lebanon NH
International Classification:
B23K010/00
US Classification:
21912148, 21912152
Abstract:
A plasma arc torch has a threadless electrode-cathode locking assembly, a one-piece tip assembly, and a rotational contact starting mechanism. The cathode and electrode of the locking assembly are configured such that relative rotation of the electrode with respect to the cathode causes the electrode to move in an axial direction relative to the cathode for locking the electrode in fixed axial and rotational position with respect to the cathode. The inner wall of the one-piece tip assembly is configured to receive the forward end of the electrode in a non-contact position. Rotation of the electrode with respect to the tip causes an arcing formation on the electrode to contact an arcing chamber within the cavity. Rotation of the electrode away from the tip generatesa pilot arc in the arcing chamber.

International Classification:
A61N 1/00
US Classification:
607061000
Abstract:
Methods of forming an electrode for use in a plasma arc torch are provided that generally include forming an electrode body defining a proximal end portion and a distal end portion, forming a recess within the distal end portion, securing a slug within the recess of the distal end portion, creating a bore through the slug and the distal end portion of the electrode body, and securing an emissive insert within the bore. In another form, a hybrid electrode is provided, which is formed by the manufacturing methods of the present invention, and which includes an electrode body defining a cavity, a secondary body secured to the electrode body, and an emissive element secured within the bore and in contact with the secondary body and the electrode body, wherein the secondary body is not exposed to the cavity.
