Torch lifter requirement

The system requires a high-quality, motorized torch lifter with sufficient travel to cover all cutting thickness requirements.
The lifter must provide 203 mm (8 in.) of vertical travel. The unit should have the capability of maintaining a constant
speed of up to 5080 mm/min (200 ipm) with positive braking. A unit which drifts through the stop point is not
acceptable.

Installation

1.

Install the torch (with torch leads
attached) in the torch mounting bracket.

2.

Position the torch

below

the

mounting

bracket, so that the bracket is around the

lower portion of the

torch sleeve

but

not

touching the torch

body

.

3.

Tighten the securing screws.

Note: The bracket should be as low on the
torch sleeve as possible to minimize vibration
at the tip of the torch.
