  • Patent number: 8921731
    Abstract: A nozzle protection cap for an arc plasma torch comprises a front end section and a rear end section with a thread region on its inner surface for screwing to a torch body of an arc plasma torch. At least one groove crosses the thread region on the inner surface. A nozzle protection cap holder for the arc plasma torch comprises a section with a thread region on its outer surface for screwing to the nozzle protection cap. At least one groove crosses the thread region on its outer surface. An arc plasma torch comprises a torch body and a nozzle protection cap screwed thereto in a screw connection region. The torch body and/or the nozzle protection cap is/are designed so that at least one channel is formed between them, the channel crossing the screw connection region.

  • Patent number: 8710397
    Abstract: An electrode for a plasma torch and a plasma torch head comprise an elongated electrode holder with a front surface on the electrode tip and a hole arranged in the electrode tip along a central axis through the electrode holder, and an emission insert arranged in the hole such that an emission surface of the emission insert is exposed. The emission surface is set back relative to the front surface of the electrode holder. An electrode for a plasma torch and a plasma torch head also comprise an electrode socket and an electrode holder, the electrode socket having an internal thread, and the electrode holder having an external thread and an O-ring in a groove in the cylindrical outer surface. The electrode holder is screwed together with the electrode socket via the external thread and the internal thread and sealed by means of the O-ring.
