6.2.1 Compressed air as plasma and cooling gas

• Precisely setting the compressed air pressure and volume is important for the pilot arc
ignition, cut quality and service life of the torch and wear parts.
• A pressure (p) lower than that specified for the operating pressure in Tab. 2 results in
thermal overload. The correct torch pressure must be ensured by properly setting the
pressure monitor on the power source.
