1 Safety instructions
All endangerments through plasma cutting are related with process itself. Endangerments may occur
due to:

• High contact voltage


• High-voltage ignition
• Electromagnetic disturbance
• Heat and light radiation
• Gas and smoke
• Noise
• Hot metal and spatter
• handling of pressure cylinders

The plasma cutting machine has been developed in conformity with following standards:

• EN 60974-1 (VDE 0544 part 1) Safety requirements for installations for arc welding, welding
power sources and related methods
• EN 50078 (VDE 0544 part 203) Safety requirements for installations for arc welding
• Together with EN 50192 arc welding and plasma cutting systems
• EN 50199 (VDE 0544 Part 206) Elektromagnetic compatibility
• BGV D 1 Accident prevention rules

The rules of the BGV D 1 „Welding, cutting and related methods“ have to be followed strictly through
the user. Before starting the plasma cutting unit read this instruction manual carefully! Only advised
personnel is allowed to operate the plasma installation!

Endangerment due to high contact voltage

Attention!
Before opening the plasma rectifier generally the input power has to be disconnected visible
from the mains (unplug mains cable)!

Only advised personnel is allowed to carry out any repairs to the machine.

Connect the workpiece cable and earth the workpiece before starting the machine!

The power source is equipped with a cooling unit and there is an electric potential between housing
and workpiece in case the workpiece is not earthed and the machine is switched on. Because the
high resistance of more than 10 kOhm in the coolant the contact voltage is absolute not dangerous
but sensible.

In the FineFocus 450 the water cooling circuit is insulated from the housing . Therefore no contact
voltage! The pump is controlled by a fault-voltage switch.

Special hints:

• Connect power source only to correct earthed mains socket with proper connected safety
conductor.
• Wear insulating protective clothing (safety shoes, leather apron, gloves).
• Place torch on insulated holder.
• Don’t use damaged cables and torches.
• Keep cutting area and plasma machine components dry and clean.
• Arrange regular inspections.
• Never shorten safety circuits (door switch, protective cap, etc.).

Working under elevated electrical endangerment

The plasma cutting unit in conformity with valid standards (EN 60974-1, BGV D 1) can be used for
operation under elevated electrical endangerment:

• The power source and the plasma torch are forming a safety-proofed installation which can be
separated only by using tools.
• The FineFocus 450 can’t be switched on when the door in the right cover plate is not closed
completely.

Therefore the FineFocus 450 is marked with the S-sign and operation under enhanced electrical
endangerment is allowed..

Attention!
Always follow the local safety rules (BGV D1 and EN 60974-1)!

Endangerment through high voltage ignition

A high-voltage ignitor starts the pilot arc. The Hv-supply is cut-off automatically after pilot arc has
struck.

Attention!
Never touch torch head when power source is switched on!

High-voltage ignition may establish electro-magnetic fields and can influence:

• pace makers
• electronic devices

Endangerment through electromagnetic interferences:

The plasma cutting unit is in conformity with the conditions of the EN 50199 (VDE 0544 part 206)
„Electromagnetic compatibility“. This standard is valid for arc welding and related processes (plasma
cutting) which comes in use in commercial and private fields.

WARNING!
Special precautions may be required if the plasma unit is used in private fields (for instance
screened cables, etc.)

The user takes the full risk when installing and using the machine. He has to follow strictly the
instructions of the supplier. If electromagnetic interferences are noticed the user has to contact the
producer to solve the problem.

Recommendations to classify the environment (EN 50199):

Before the installation takes place the user has to value the environment for electromagnetic
problems and to take into consideration:

• other mains supplies, control cables, signal and telecommunication lines along, above, below or
besides the installation
• broadcasting or television installations
• computer or other controls
• safety devices, protection circuits
• the health of people in the neighbourhood (heart pace makers, hearing aids, etc.)
• devices for measuring and calibrating
• the noise immunity of equipments around the installation are compatible to electromagnetic
interferences; that could require special protections
• the day time plasma cutting is performed

Fine Focus 450_BA_engl.doc 14/11/02


- page 5 -
Recommendations to minimise interferences:

If interferences take place following should be done:

• filter for mains connection


• screening of mains cable of the plasma installation (safe contact between screen and housing
required)
• regularly maintenance
• keep cover plates and doors of the plasma machine always closed
• avoid excessive welding or cutting cables
• earthing of the workpiece
• selective screening of other cables and installations
• arrange potential equalisation between metallic parts around the installation (the operator has to
be insulated from those parts)

Endangerment through heat and light radiation:

Ultraviolet and light radiation developed through the plasma arc can hurt eyes and skin. Following
precautions are required:

• wear of insulating and heavy to influence clothes (head shield, aprons, gloves, shoes)
• use of head shields with medium dark glasses
• arrange cutting area, so that no other persons are endangered directly or through reflections:
• install flexible walls
• use dark colours for walls

Endangerment through fumes and smoke

Due to the plasma process itself hazardous substances may be produced. To avoid risks on health
the following has to be done:

• keep cutting place well ventilated


• remove fumes and smoke by exhaustion devices
• remove all chlorinated and other solvents from the cutting area because they could form
phosgene gas when exposed to ultraviolet radiation
• wear breathing mask when cutting galvanised materials
• ensure that toxic limits are not exceeded

Attention!
The user of the plasma cutting machine has to proof by measurements the concentration of
hazardous substances the effectiveness of the ventilation!

Endangerment through noise

Be aware that during plasma cutting a high noise level arises.

Cutting current Material thickness Noise level in distance of


0.5m 1.0m
no load - - 56 dB(A)
50A 4mm 82 dB(A) 79 dB(A)
75A 16mm 86 dB(A) 83 dB(A)
130A 16mm 96 dB(A) 92 dB(A)

Chart 1: Noise level of FineFocus 450

Therefore wear correct ear protection.

Fine Focus 450_BA_engl.doc 14/11/02


- page 6 -
Endangerment through spatter:

During plasma cutting sparks, slag and hot metal are produced. The risk of burns and fire exists!

To avoid these endangerments the following has to be advised:

• Remove all potential flammable materials from cutting area, at least in a 10 m distance!
• Cool down freshly cut material before handling!
• Make fire extinguisher available in the cutting area!

Handling of pressure cylinders

For the plasma cutting process compressed gases are required. To avoid endangerments the
following has to be advised:

• Place cylinders upright in secured position.


• Don’t use damaged cylinders, pressure reducers and armatures.
• Use pressure reducers only for the gas it is determined.
• Never lubricate pressure reducers with grease or oil.
• All parts coming in touch with oxygen have to be prevented from oil and grease.
• When using oxygen the pressure reducer has to be equipped with an explosive-proofed device
(backfire-device).
• Perform gas test acc. to chapter 7.3

2 General information

2.1 The dry plasma cutting


A plasma is defined as a gas having atoms and molecules which are partly split into ions and
electrons and having therefore a high electrical conductivity.

In the plasma torch this gas becomes heated up extremely and leaves it through the nozzle with high
speed. Due to the high heat concentration all electrically conductive materials will melt and due to
the high speed and pressure of the plasma arc the molten material will be blown away forming a very
small kerf in the material.

The plasma arc hereby is transferred from the cathode, installed in the plasma torch and connected
to the negative pole of the plasma power source to the workpiece, connected to the positive pole
(transferred arc).

6 plasma arc
(main arc)
7 workpiece

The safe ignition of the (main) arc :

• High-voltage ignition of pilot arc


• Switching off ignitor after ignition of pilot arc
• Power increase automatically if pilot arc touches the workpiece

2.2 Plasma cutting with swirl gas


With conventional plasma torches there always the risk exists that during piercing or cutting
upcoming material and spatter will touch the torch tip and cause double arcing and nozzle defects.
The life time of the nozzle becomes reduced and the cutting quality influenced.

Plasma torches with swirl gas technology overcome those disadvantages. Here an additional gas
flow surrounds the plasma arc. Spatter and hot metal will be forced away through the gas swirl
especially during piercing.

The gas swirl has to be adjusted very carefully to match the requirement of each material and
thickness.

Figure 2 shows the principle of the swirl-gas technology.

2.3 Characteristic and advantages


The FineFocus-plasma developed from Prof. Manfred von Ardenne is defined by an extreme high
density of energy offering various technological advantages:

• Double-Straight Effect (same cutting quality on both the cutting surfaces)


• narrow cutting kerfs
• low loss of material
• low heat input
• low distortion
• high cutting speed
• perfect cutting quality

Technological advantages for plasma cutting with oxygen result in the application of swirl-gas
technology and use of the XL-Life-Time system.

Further features and advantages are given:

• material depending cutting range of FineFocus 450 from 1 up to 35 mm (quality cut) respectively
45 mm (maximum cut) with a maximum cutting power of 20 kW
• stepless current setting from 40 A up to 130 A for optimised adaptation of the cutting power
• excellent cutting properties due to power source with twelve-pulse rectification
• microelectronic controls ensure highest constancy of the cutting outputs of the power source
• large CNC interface for connection to all available CNC and robot controls
• active power control through CNC controls possible
• adjustable “soft start” safes nozzles and cathodes
• internal cooling system for extended life time of nozzles and cathodes
• very easy to handle, safe operation start because of:
• Hv-ignition for pilot arc
• main arc starts if pilot arc touches workpiece
• safety circuits for perfect operation:
• pressure switch for gas flow control
• coolant flow switch ensures sufficient cooling
• time limitation for pilot arc
• automatic cut-off if nozzle touches workpiece
• comfortable access to torch terminal board through side wall door with safety switch
• easy operation, control board with symbols for service and control display
• high efficiency and low operation costs because of:
• internal fluid cooling system, therefore low consumption of gases
• use of inexpensive air for plasma gas possible
• up to date industrial design, easy to transport by crane or fork lift
• plasma cutting with gases air and oxygen as well as Ar/H2- respectively Ar/H2/N2-mixtures for
optimum cutting of all electrically conductive materials

Fine Focus 450_BA_engl.doc 14/11/02

2.4 Application
The transferred arc principle allows cutting on all electrically conductive materials up to 45 mm
(depending on the material). Also gouging on these materials is possible.

It is possible to cut mild steels, high-alloyed steels, nonferrous metals (for example aluminium) and
special alloys. The following plasma gases we recommend:

• Mild steel
plasma gas Air / swirl gas Air
high productivity, nearly no dross, small content of nitrogen or oxygen in cutting surfaces
possible
plasma gas Oxygen / swirl gas Air:
high productivity, nearly no dross, cutting surface clean of nitrogen

• CrNi steels
plasma gas Air / swirl gas Air:
high productivity, nearly no dross, surface nitration and oxidation may occur, cutting surface
quality not so good as cutting with Ar/H2 respectively Ar/H2/N2-mixture
plasma gas Ar/H2- respectively Ar/H2/N2-mixture / swirl gas N2:
very clean surfaces, nearly no dross when using Ar/H2/N2-mixtures

• Aluminium
plasma gas Air / swirl gas Air:
high productivity, no or nearly no dross, agreeable cutting quality
plasma gas Ar/H2 / swirl gas Air:
perfect cutting quality

With the plasma torches PB-S47 W it is possible to start by piercing, either stationary or running.

The FineFocus 450 is suitable for straight line, profile and bevel cutting. Therefore semi finished
products as sheet steels, tubes, sections, forging and forming-parts sheet packs, scrap and gush
products can be separated or processed thermally.

The stepless control gives the possibility to adapt always the cutting power to the material thickness.

After changing consumables (see chapter 6.4) all plasma torches of the PB-S47 W line can be used
without swirl gas as well.

4 Technical description
4.1 Plasma rectifier FineFocus 450
The components of the power source are mounted into a movable housing. The front side contains
all the controls and displays, the workpiece cable connector, the entry for the torch hose parcel.

On the back side wall the plasma gas connector for air, the coolant filter neck, the mains cable entry
and the slots for the cooling air exit are located, also the fuses F1 - F12 and the connectors for the
plasma counter PZE 1, the flow controllers PGE 1 and PGE 2 and the CNC interface.

The connectors for the plasma torch respectively the hose parcel extensions and for the remote
control are accessible after opening the door in the right side cover plate.

The circulating cooling system consists of the pump, the tank, the heat exchanger and the flow
switch, which switches off the power source if the flow rate is low.

The plasma rectifier is provided with an air supply, consisting of an air filter, the solenoid valve and a
gas pressure switch, which switches off the power source if the gas pressure is below 0.3 MPa
(< 3 bar).

When using ArH2N2-mixtures for plasma gas the gas supply takes place through the plasmagas
mixing unit PM-S47 W or the plasma gas controllers PGE 1 and PGE 2 and when using oxygen or
air through the plasma ignition box PZ-S47 W-1. The power source of the FineFocus 450 itself
consists of the main transformer, the twelve-pulse rectifier set, the Hv ignitor and the pilot arc
resistors for striking the pilot arc.

4.2 Plasma torches


Attention!
Only plasma torches of the PB-S45 W / PB-S47 W line are allowed to be used in connection
with the plasma cutting unit FineFocus 450!
Before carrying out any maintenance or service on plasma torches disconnect input power
visible (unplug mains cable)!

The plasma torches are suitable for following plasma gases :


• PB-S47 W(-2)/x: Air or Ar/H2/N2-mixture, swirl gas
• PB-S47 W-1(-2)/O2: Oxygen (ignition with air), swirl gas

The plasma torches are based on similar design principles. A copper cable inserted in the water
return hose transfers the cutting current from the power source to the cathode.

The replaceable nozzle cap keeps the nozzle in a centred position in the nozzle holder. The coolant
circulates between nozzle and nozzle cap. A cooling tube directs the water flow into the cathode
assuring a very effective heat transfer. This cooling system grants a high life time of all torch parts.

Fine Focus 450_BA_engl.doc 14/11/02


- page 16 -
Attention!
Before using the plasma torch be sure that the torch head is equipped with parts suitable for
the job you are performing! After changing torch parts blow out coolant which occasionally
has collected in the nozzle by using the gas purge switch S5 in the front panel. Wet nozzles
and cathodes could be the reason for double arcing.

Attention!
The operator is allowed to change only above mentioned wearing parts! Torch repairs have
to be carried out only through advised personnel. Always use spare parts and consumables
of Kjellberg origin. Otherwise no guarantee for cutting performance and quality.

Attention! Consider connection schemes!

All damages during transport or incomplete supplies should be claimed with the carrier or the
supplier just after receive of the unit.

5.1 Check out, placement and installation


The plasma cutting unit is designated for a service in non-explosion endangered rooms or outside
under a roof by following conditions:

• Ambient temperature: -10°C up to +40°C


• Relative moisture: max. 90%

Place the FineFocus 450 so, that the air flow is not blocked (intake through the front panel grating,
exhaust through rear panel)! Keep a 250 mm free distance around the machine.

The plasma cutting unit is designed acc. to protection class IP 22 (DIN 40050), that means:

• protection against penetration of solid parts above 12 mm


• protection against dripping water, vertical falling, with max. 15° inclination.

Avoid that dust, excessive moisture and corrosive substances will collect in the power source!

Transportation is possible manually, by crane or by forklift.

Attention!
For crane transport all the four lifting
hooks have to be used. The angle
between the ropes or chains should not
exceed 45°. When transporting by forklift
the FineFocus 450 should be lifted only
from the back side!

5.2 Mains connection
The plasma cutting machine is provided with a power supply cable (4 x 6 mm²), 5 m long. A wall-
mounted power switch has to be placed in line with the mains socket. Use fuses of proper size (see
3.1)!

5.3 Workpiece cable connection


For the workpiece cable connection a power supply socket is arranged in the front cover plate. The
work clamp must have a good contact to the workpiece or the cutting table.

Warning!
Never use conductive parts of the building, pipelines rails, etc. for the connection with the
workpiece!

Workpiece and cutting table have to be earthed properly!


5.4 Filling up coolant
The coolant has to be filled up before the torch is connected (elimination of air from the pump).

As coolant at temperatures below 0 °C the use of antifreezer “Kjellfrost” (resists freezing up to -10
°C) or “Kjellfrost-Super” (resists freezing up to -25 °C) is recommended. These coolants additionally
are protecting the pump, packings and cooling channels of the plasma torch.

Attention! It is not allowed to add water to the coolant (acid formation)!

The filler neck is placed on the back of the power source. The tank capacity amounts to
approximately 11 l. Excessive coolant leaves the tank through the overflow tube and is guided to the
floor. The filling level is indicated by a show glass (left side wall).

When using the plasma ignition box PZ-S47 W with a hose parcel extension PZL-S47 W the filling
level has to be checked after the first start to compensate the volume for the water hoses. Also the
loss of coolant during the change of consumables or torches has to be compensated weekly (filling
level on “max”).

After 12 months the complete coolant has to be replaced (with no regard to the working conditions).

6.2 Cutting
Before cutting starts following inspections have to be done:

Inspection of plasma torch

• Plasma torch is in a correct and undamaged condition

Fine Focus 450_BA_engl.doc 14/11/02


- page 30 -
• The inserted consumables are matching with the used plasma gases and the intended working
method (cutting with or without swirl gas)

Inspection of the power source

• Mains fuses have recommended size (see chapter 3.1)


• The workpiece is properly fit (see chapter 5.3)
• The gas supply is in a safe and functional condition (see chapter 5.12)

Attention!
It is not allowed to direct the plasma torch towards eyes or any other parts of the body. The
high voltage ignition or the pilot arc can effect serious burns and injuries.

Switching on

1. Place selector switch “Gas” S6 (11) to the plasma gas which is selected

2. Place selector switch “select control” S8 (22) into desired position (CNC or PA)

3. Turn key switch S1 (1) to position “I” - fan of heat exchanger on

4. Press green push button S2 (19)


• Pump and fan on, cooling air leaves back side of power source
• Plasma gas flow activated for a short moment
• No water should appear on torch tip
• Green LED H1 (1) "stand-by", H8 (6) "gas supply o.k." and H9 (9) "coolant flow o.k." on

5. Keep tumbler switch S5 (10) at least 10 s in position "gas purge"


• to drain out water from torch head
• red LED H6 (7) "fault" on

6. Adjust gas pressure reducers or filter regulators depending on cutting task (see chapter 3.3) and
check on pressure gauges on PGE 1 or PGE 2. (See cutting diagrams for proper adjustment.)

7. Reset tumbler switch S5 (10) in off position, red LED "fault" off

8. The plasma installation is ready for start; if:


• Green LED H1 (1), H8 (6) and H9 (9) are on and
• Red LED H6 (7) "fault" is off

9. Turn switch S9 (14) into desired current slope up position

10. Adjust cutting current by using switch S7 (13) and potentiometer R7 (R8), the ammeter (16)
shows the adjusted value

Ignition of pilot arc

By pressing the ON button of the remote control FB 1 or through a signal of a guiding machine
(X102: B2, B3) the pilot arc ignites after the gas pre-flow time. The pilot arc time is limited to approx.
15 s.

If the nozzle is close enough to the workpiece the main arc strikes and the cutting process starts.

Pilot arc or main arc can be interrupted by pressing the OFF button of the remote control FB 1 or by
interrupting the ON signal of the guiding machine.

Running start

• Ignite pilot arc 10 up to 20 mm away from the workpiece


Fine Focus 450_BA_engl.doc 14/11/02
- page 31 -
• Move the plasma torch to the edge of the workpiece
• Main arc strikes automatically if pilot arc gets in contact to the workpiece
• Thinner plates require a reduced start speed compared with maximum speed
• Keep the distance between swirl-gas cap and workpiece in a range of 1.5 up to 4 mm (see
cutting table " FineFocus 450 with torch type PB-S47 W and swirl gas")
• When the plasma machine torch PB-S47 W is used without swirl gas see cutting table
" FineFocus 450 with torch type PB-S47 W without swirl gas"

Piercing (see chart „Piercing sequences during plasma cutting“)

Attention!
Spatter and sparks cause endangerment (burns and fire)!

• For materials up to 6 mm thickness the pilot arc should be ignited in a distance of 10 mm to the
plate. The main arc immediately strikes.
• To protect the torch head from coming up materials (sparks and spatter) the torch should be
moved in cutting direction just after the main arc has ignited.
• For materials up to max. 25 mm following method is recommended:
- Pilot arc ignition in a distance of at least 30 mm
- Ignition of pilot arc
- Lowering down the torch with pilot arc on (signal "pilot arc ON")
- During transition from pilot to main arc signal: “transition ON” and immediately after that “main
arc ON”
- start cutting movement and, if possible, short lift of plasma torch, to avoid damages of nozzle
by spatter
- after piercing set the torch in cutting height

Plasma gouging

Attention!
Spatter and sparks cause endangerment (burns and fire)!
feed protection
• Prepare the plasma machine torch for
gouging (without swirl gas, see chapter 6.4)
• Arrange torch position in desired direction,
inclination 25 up to 40°
• Strike arc though remote control FB 1
• Keep 2 mm distance between protective workpiece

cap and workpiece and arc length of 10 to


30 mm (see fig. 6)

Fig. 6: Plasma gouging

Switching off

When switching off the FineFocus 450 by using the key switch S1 (19) all components of the
machine are out of operation.

When using the red button S3 (20) "Emergency stop" all components except the control transformer
and the heat exchanger fan are switched off.

Please note,
that the switch S2 (18) remains in OFF position and has to be reset by a left hand rotation.

Disconnect the power source visible from the mains if it is not used for longer times.

6.3 Protective circuits

Fine Focus 450_BA_engl.doc 14/11/02


- page 32 -
The plasma cutting machine is ready for start (stand-by position) if after activating the key switch
(S1) and pushing the green button (S2 the green LED signal lamps
• H1 "stand by",
• H8 "gas supply." and
• H9 "water cooling" are on
and
• the red LED H6 "Error" is out.

Following protective circuits are indicating male functions so that the machine can’t be operated or
stops operation.

• Emergency stop, limit switch of side wall door, emergency-stop of CNC, fault-voltage
switch of pump:
If one of this circuits is activated no start by using the key switch (S1) and green push button
(S2) is possible (fan and pump do not run)

• Pilot arc limitation


(protects pilot resistor and reduces wear on nozzle and cathode)
- Switches off pilot arc after approximately 15 s to protect pilot resistors and to reduce
consumption on nozzle and cathode
- Red LED H4 is on for 5 s, reignition within this time is not possible

• Nozzle protection circuit


(protects nozzle when touching the workpiece; not activated, if cutting without swirl gas)
- Switches off main arc if nozzle contacts workpiece
- Red LED H5 indicates “nozzle contact” (function can be interrupted by placing the jumper
JP7 on pcb LP076458a)

The red LED „fault“ is on and the green LED „stand-by“ is off under following conditions:

• Coolant flow not sufficient


- Switches off if flow rate < 3,0 l/min
- Green LED H9 “flow control” off, but pump is running (Becomes activated max. 1 min later
after pump start, depending on the lengths of the water hoses!)

• Gas pressure to low


- Switches off if gas pressure is below 0.3 MPa (3 bar) or if swirl-gas cap is missing
- Green LED H8 "gas supply” is off

• Thermal overload
- Switches off if rectifier is overloaded
- Indicates by LED H7 “thermal overload”

6.4 Change of consumables


Attention!
Before carrying out any inspection or changing of torch parts the power source has to be
disconnected visible from the mains (unplug the power supply)!

When changing spare parts generally the plasma cutting machine has to be switched off, so
that an accidental start is not possible (VGB15 § 44). This condition is given, if after
switching off the key switch (fig. 5, item 19) is drawn out from the front plate.

Attention (when using oxygen for plasma gas)!


All parts coming in touch with oxygen have to be kept absolutely free of oil or grease! This
refers also torch parts and the consumables!

Change worn out or damaged parts in time.

Fine Focus 450_BA_engl.doc 14/11/02


- page 33 -
The life time of cathodes and nozzles widely depends on the cutting current, the plasma gas and the
number of ignitions. Continuous piercing and cutting with a too small distance to the material can
reduce the life time rapidly.

Always use the spare parts, suitable for the intended cutting process (fig. 9). Spare part change
should be done with special care and always by using suitable tools like cathode puller (A) and
nozzle cap puller (B) which are supplied with the machine.

During change of spare parts keep the torch tip upwards to avoid running out of coolant.

Taking out worn consumables

1. Turn torch tip in upper position


2. Unscrew protective cap (10) together with swirl-gas cap (9) by hand (press out swirl-gas cap
from protective cap)
3. Unscrew nozzle cap with swirl-gas guide (8), use socket spanner (B)
4. take out the nozzle (7)
5. Pull out cathode (4) together with gas guide ring (5) and O-ring 12 x 1,5 (6) by using the cathode
puller (A)
6. Change cooling tube (3) only if damaged

Inserting new consumables

1. Insert cooling tube (3) so that slots are directed to the cathode
2. Insert cathode (4) with O-ring6 x2 (4a) carefully, O-rings should not be damaged or twisted
3. Insert gas guide ring (5) with O-ring12x1,5 (6)
4. Insert nozzle (7)
5. Replace nozzle cap (8) by using the socket spanner (B), tighten it hand-tight
6. Place swirl-gas cap (9) into protective cap (10) and fasten it hand-tight

Converting of torch type PB-S47 W for dry cutting without swirl gas

1. Turn torch tip in upper position


2. Unscrew protective cap (10) together with swirl-gas cap (9) by hand
3. Unscrew nozzle cap with swirl-gas guide (8) by socket spanner (B)
4. Replace nozzle cap without swirl-gas guide (11) by using the socket spanner (B) tighten it hand-
tight
5. Replace insulation ring for dummy cap (12) and tighten with dummy cap (13) by hand

Change of O-rings only if deformed or damaged. Das Auswechseln der Rundringe muss nur bei
deren Deformierung oder Beschädigung erfolgen. For easier tightening it is recommended to use a
silicon spray (not at PB-S47 W-x/O2!).

Attention!
Be sure that all torch parts are properly replaced. Don’t use the torch without cooling tube!
The operator only is allowed to change consumables as described before. No other torch
parts can be removed from the torch head side!
Never apply silicon spray, oil or grease to torch parts if plasma gas oxygen is used!
warrenty is given only if origin parts are used.

When starting the plasma machine after a change of spare parts the following has to be
obtained (see also chapter 6.2):

1. After pressing the green button S2:


- automatic gas purge activated
- no water leakage on the torch tip is allowed

2. Activate switch S5 “gas purge” for at least 20 sec.:


- to drain out all the water which has collected in the torch head
- the smallest leakage in the torch can leads to damages in the torch

7 Maintenance
Attention!
Before carrying out any test or repairs on the plasma unit the power source has to be
switched off and disconnected visible from the mains (unplug mains cable).
Only advised personnel is allowed to open the machine (see VDE 0105).

7.1 Intervals of maintenance


Following measures have to be taken regularly:

1. weekly: Visual inspection of the condition of the plasma power source, all system components
and the plasma torches; control of filling level of the coolant (if necessary filling up)
2. monthly: Gas pressure test (chapter 7.3)
3. after 4 up to 6 months: Cleaning the power source and all components
4. after 6 months: electrical revision
5. yearly: Change of coolant (Kjellfrost)

7.2 Cleaning

From the power source all dust and dirt which has collected inside the fan have to be removed in
intervals of 4 up to 6 months. Blowing out should be done carefully with dry compressed air, but
better is to use a vacuum cleaner.

In the same way all components of the system have to be cleaned.

Filter regulators and micro filters have to be cleaned weekly. Condensed water has to be drained,
filter inserts have to be replaced in time.

Fine Focus 450_BA_engl.doc 14/11/02


- page 37 -
The small filter screws of the gas connectors of the plasmagas control units have to be inspected
every 4 up to 6 months, and cleaned if necessary. For that reason the pressure reducers of the gas
cylinders have to be close and the respective gas hose remove from the control unit. The filter
screws only can be taken out by a small screw driver.

7.3 Gas pressure test


The complete check of the entire gas supply system is very important. Unnoticed escape of oxygen
or hydrogen can cause serious endangerments. Therefore the following gas pressure test hast to be
carried out monthly!.

1. Disconnect the supply lines from the coil of the plasma torch PB-S47 W respectively
plasmatorch connection unit PBA-S47 W to avoid activation.
2. Start plasma cutting unit and activate purge switch to fill up the gas hoses.
3. Close outlet valves on the pressure reducers, gas purge switch remains open!
4. Observe the pressure on the pressure gauges on the plasmagas control units. The adjusted
value must be kept constant for at least 10 min!

If any loss of pressure is noticed, the reason has to be found out and eliminated immediately! The
pressure test has to be repeated after then.

Attention!
Only regularly performed gas pressure tests are the guarantee for a safe operation of the
gas supply system!
Because of the existing risk of fire and explosion the gas pressure tests have to be carried
out carefully and must be recorded!

7.4 Cooling system

the coolant has to be changed yearly.

Losses of coolant during the change of consumables have to be replaced. Therefore weekly the
filling level has to be checked on the show glass, placed in the left side wall of the power source. The
level of coolant should reach the mark “max.”.

For replacing the complete coolant the following steps have to be taken:

• Remove right side wall of the power source.


• Unscrew water inlet hose of the plasma torch.
• Open connection between tank and pump (G3/8”). Drain the old coolant into a container.
• Close the connection carefully.
• Fill up fresh coolant mixture “Kjellfrost” respectively “Kjellfrost-Super”.
• Screw water inlet hose back to the connector of the terminal board.
• Check connections of tightness.

7.5 Electrical revision


According to legal standards the FineFocus 450 has to be inspected:

• every six months, when machine often changes the cutting place
• once a year, if the machine is used stationary

a) Visual inspection,
- check the condition of the complete unit
- test insulation of all alive parts against accidental contact
- inspect fuses, protective devices and cables for proper sizes
- inspect condition of cables and wirings, tighten screwed contact points
- replace broken cables or wirings, never use cables with damaged insulation

Fine Focus 450_BA_engl.doc 14/11/02


- page 38 -
b) by measurement has to be proofed that the protection against excessive touch potentials of
parts functionally not activated is granted (test of protective conductor):
- Measurement of the transition resistance between marked protective conductor connection of
the plasma cutting unit and all touchable metallic parts not functionally activated: <0.1 Ohm

c) The insulating capacity of winding and line insulation has to be proofed:


- If mechanical, thermal or chemical damages on the insulation are noticed
- If the plasma cutting unit is more than 15 years old or an aggressive environment untimely
disturbances will cause
- Insulation value between windings and housing (protective connector terminal) > 2,5 MOhm
(dry and cold condition)
- Insulation value between primary and secondary coils of the transformer T1 > 2,5 MOhm (dry
and cold condition)

Noticed faults have to be eliminated by an expert immediately.

7.6 Plasma torches

The plasma torches have to be handled with care. Powerful handling and stress load have to be
avoided. All spare parts must be in clean condition and carefully changed in time (see chapter 6.6).
Damages of parts inside the torch, as nozzle holder and cathode tube have to be avoided. Besides
the change of consumable parts under using the special torch tools no other action to the
torch head is allowed! Plasma torches must be transported and stored at protected places with full
inserted parts on the torch head only!

Hose parcels have to be protected against damages, like sharp bending, twisting, over rolling and
thermal damages as well. At the plasma torches of the PB-S47W(-1) type the filter screws have to be
cleaned from time to time after unscrewing from the gas connector.

Attention!
Plasma torches have to be water tight at any time! Defective torches generally will be
repaired by the Kjellberg service centre or licensed repair shops!

Attention!
All components and parts coming in touch with oxygen have to be free of oil and grease!
This refers especially to the torch head and the consumables!
