  • the electrode holder and the nozzle holder are connected, via cables electric, to one or more electric current generators.
  • the electrode holder and the nozzle holder need to be cooled to avoid too rapid deterioration and for this do they are connected, via pipes, to a source of fluid cooling, usually water.
  • a source of fluid cooling usually water.
  • the set of cables and pipes feeding the torch is called a beam.
  • the torch has active parts, namely in particular a dip tube bringing the coolant as close as possible to their active end thereof; an electrode formed of a particular material, that is to say an emissive insert of tungsten, zirconium, hafnium or analog, chosen depending, for example, on the gas used, the intensity of the current or thickness to be cut; a specific gas diffuser in operation the gas used or the current intensity range; a clean nozzle each gas and intensity; an outer protective cap forming a sleeve around nozzle and also serving as a cooling chamber; and a nut used to hold the cap and nozzle in place on the active end of the torch ; this nut-piece can be replaced by a device with water vortex or by a gaseous "double flow" device.

  • a torch in two parts also called torch with head or removable nose
  • a torch head In the case of a torch with a removable head or nose, a torch head is generally dedicated to a particular process and / or to a range of intensity limited.
  • each torch head is equipped with active parts having variable characteristics and which are a function of the process to be put or the intensity of current supplying the torch and used to generate the plasma arc.
  • the process to be implemented may vary and must be chosen in depending on the nature of the gas or gas mixture to be used, the type of gas distribution (simple distribution, vortex, double flow, post-injection %), depending on the nature of the material to be cut (steel, stainless steel, aluminum, ...), depending on its thickness, depending on the suitability of the cut piece to be welded or other requirements.
  • the main gases or gas mixtures usable in plasma cutting are nitrogen, oxygen, compressed air or mixtures argon / hydrogen or nitrogen / hydrogen.
  • the intensity range used can range from ten to more than a thousand amps.
  • the presence of the torch i.e. its operation can be detected using a direct link between two pins at a harness connector and this, via a simple electrical assembly detecting the presence of the connection.
  • a nose torch or removable and interchangeable head To remedy these problems, a nose torch or removable and interchangeable head.
  • the operator can prepare the second removable head with the suitable active parts which he will need to cut the second material, while the other torch head is in use, i.e. while cutting the first material.
  • the operator must not be able to give intensity setting instructions not appropriate with the head selected and this, under penalty of causing a deterioration of the torch head or of obtaining poor quality cutting.
  • tungsten electrode intended to operate under nitrogen will not work for long if the gas is oxygen or another gas oxidant.
  • Another solution would be to use a photoelectric sensor for detecting the presence of the torch head on the torch body.
  • the aim of the present invention is therefore to solve the problem aforementioned posing with electric arc work torches, in particular with a removable head, in particular plasma torches, equipped a system to avoid or minimize any error in mounting the torch head on the torch body or incorrect or unsuitable choice of parts wear on the torch head, warning the operator that the torch head torch or wear part fitted in error does not correspond to selected operating conditions to be obtained.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a torch equipped a system to verify that the torch head and / or parts wear on the torch are compatible with the selected process and with the current intensity range to be used.
  • the invention also relates to an arc work torch electric, in particular a plasma torch, comprising a torch body comprising means for supplying electric current and at least one passage of fluid, and a torch head comprising electrode holder means capable of receiving an electrode and nozzle holder means capable of receiving a nozzle, characterized in that the electrode carried by the electrode holder means and / or the nozzle carried by the nozzle holder means has (s) an identification element from which it can be extracted or determined a signal of specific value prefixed and identifiable.
  • the invention also relates to a torch) working with an electric arc, in particular a plasma torch, comprising a torch body comprising means for supplying electric current and at least one fluid passage, and a torch head, the torch head and / or the torch body comprising consumable workpiece holding means likely to receive at least one consumable part chosen from among nozzles, electrodes, cartridge assemblies combining nozzle and electrode, dip tubes and gas or water diffusers, characterized in that at least one of said consumable parts comprises an element from which a value signal can be extracted or determined specific prefixed and identifiable.
  • the invention also relates to a torch head with plasma comprising electrode holder means capable of receiving a electrode and nozzle-holder means capable of receiving a nozzle, characterized in that it further comprises an identification element with from which a specific value signal can be extracted or determined prefixed and identifiable.
  • the invention also relates to a nozzle or an electrode for a torch.
  • electric arc work in particular a plasma torch, comprising a identification element as mentioned above.
  • the invention also relates to a plasma cutting process of at least a metal part, in which a plasma torch is used, a head of plasma torch and / or in which a control method is implemented according to the invention for controlling a plasma torch.
  • the solution provided by the present invention is essentially based on the incorporation into the torch head of a system identification system that can immediately and effectively signal the operator that the torch head installed is not compatible with the process selected and / or with current intensity and / or with another parameter operative.
  • FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an operating torch removable head according to the present invention.
  • the plasma torch 1 completely analogous to that described for example in document EP-A-599709 incorporated here by reference, includes a body torch or base 3, on which the torch head 2 fitted with the identification system according to the invention.
  • Torch 1 is supplied with fluids from 100 fluid sources, including plasma gas and water cooling, and is also supplied with electric current from a current generator 110 connected, on the one hand, to the workpiece 120 and, on the other hand hand, to the electrode of torch 1 and the nozzle.
  • the identification system of the invention consists of an element 5 identification and signal transmission means 4 connecting this element 5 identification to a signal processing unit 6 which communicates itself with a torch control director 8 making it possible in particular to control or not a movement of the torch 1 along the Z axis.
  • the identification element 5 included in the head 2 of the torch 1 is, for example, a resistor, a capacitor or a coil having a value determined known for each torch nose or head 2.
  • identification elements 5 such as reflective patch, a system using the principle of remote controls infrared or radio frequency, or a smart card element or a magnetic or magnetic element, or combinations thereof.
  • chip card element is meant the active part of the card, that is to say the integrated circuit or "chip” encapsulated in the plastic serving support.
  • a first type with visible connector like that of payment cards banking or the like which have two modes of operation, namely the reading of the magnetic strip located on one side of the card and / or writing of information written in the memory
  • the identification element 5 can take different values, it is possible to differentiate a large number of heads 2 from torch different from each other, since each head 2 of torch is provided with an identification element 5 having a specific value prefixed and identifiable.
  • This identification element 5 is connected to a processing unit 6 of the signal to warn the operator if he has made a wrong choice, to check the presence of the necessary fluids, to detect the presence of the head 2 of torch adapted to the process to be implemented and thus authorize or not the implementation the cutting process.
  • Signal processing unit 6 is managed by a command director 8 whose role is to supervise all components necessary for the smooth running of the cutting operation.
  • the measurement is then processed, for example, using a converter analog / digital of the type appropriate to the signal.
  • the command manager 8 management software can prevent the operator, in the event of an error in the choice of torch head 2, as shown schematically on the flowcharts of Figures 2 and 3.
  • the operator wants to cut a piece from a steel sheet carbon 4 mm thick, it consults a scale or a table of correspondence provided by the manufacturer who tells him to use the process under dry oxygen at 60 A, as well as the type of active parts to be used.
  • the operator therefore equips a second torch head with these while cutting, for example, 10-gauge stainless steel sheet mm with a 120 A process using nitrogen and a vortex of water and using a first torch head having characteristics different.
  • element 5 of the type resistive (resistance ) is simple to implement, little expensive, reliable and not very sensitive to parasites from an industrial environment.
