  • Method and apparatus for alignment of components of a plasma arc torch
    Publication number: 20070045245
    Abstract: A coolant tube and electrode are adapted to mate with each other to align the tube relative to the electrode during operation of the torch. Improved alignment ensures an adequate flow of coolant along an interior surface of the electrode. In one aspect, an elongated body of the coolant tube has a surface adapted to mate with the electrode. In another aspect, an elongated body of the electrode has a surface adapted to mate with the coolant tube. The surfaces of the tube and electrode may, for example, be flanges, tapered surfaces, contours, or steps.
    Type: Application
    Filed: October 30, 2006
    Publication date: March 1, 2007
    Applicant: Hypertherm, Inc.
    Inventors: Aaron Brandt, Richard Anderson, Brian Currier, Jon Lindsay, Zheng Duan, Casey Jones, Edward Shipulski
