Torch lifter requirement
The system requires a high-quality, motorized torch lifter with sufficient travel to cover all cutting thickness requirements.
The lifter must provide 203 mm (8 in) of vertical travel. The unit should have the capability of maintaining a constant
speed of up to 5080 mm/min (200 ipm) with positive braking. A unit which drifts through the stop point is not
acceptable.
Installation
1. Install the torch (with torch leads
attached) in the torch mounting bracket.
2. Position the torch below the mounting
bracket, so that the bracket is around the
lower portion of the torch sleeve but not
touching the torch quick-disconnect .
3. Tighten the securing screws.
Note: The bracket should be as low on the
torch sleeve as possible to minimize vibration
at the tip of the torch.
