Length requirements for hoses, cables, and leads
Use the correct lengths for all hoses, cables, and leads.
The distances between the plasma power supply, gas connect console, TorchConnect console, torch,
cooler, and cutting table are limited by the lengths of the interconnect hoses, cables, and leads that
connect them.
Table 17 - Length ranges for interconnect hoses, cables, and leads
From this component... to this component... ...the length can range from:
Plasma power supply Cooler 3 m (9.8 ft) – 4.5 m (15 ft)
Cooler Gas connect console (all types) 3 m (9.8 ft) – 75 m (246.1 ft)
Gas connect console TorchConnect console 3 m (9.8 ft) – 15 m (49.2 ft)
TorchConnect console Torch or cutting table 2 m (6.6 ft) – 4.5 m (14.8 ft)
For visual distance requirements, refer to:
■
Configuration with the Core gas connect console on page 61
■
Configuration with the CorePlus gas connect console on page 62
■
Configuration with VWI or OptiMix gas consoles on page 63
Hoses, cables, and leads for plasma equipment are available from Hypertherm. Make sure to install hoses,
cables, and leads that are the correct length:
■
Hoses, cables, or leads that are too short can cause restriction of mechanical movement.
■
Cables and leads that are too long can cause Electromagnetic Interference (EMI).
EMI can have a bad effect on cut quality.
Speak with your cutting machine supplier for recommendations about the best hose, cable, and lead
lengths for your cutting system.
Bend-radius requirements for hoses, cables, and leads
Do not bend hoses, cables, and leads more than the minimum bend radius for each component.
The following hoses, cables, and leads cannot bend beyond a minimum bend radius of 152.50 mm (6 in.):
■
Torch lead
■
