Combined process and automatic installation

Combined process and automatic installation for plasma-jet marking and cutting or welding, in particular of metals
The invention involves the fields of installation and automation processes for the plasma jet and the workpiece, and for cutting or welding, especially those made of metal or plastic, such as sheet steel.

Automatic or installation for cutting plasma jet was used for many years, with jet, plasma cut or cut geometric shapes or other piece of metal such as sheet or plate, especially. particularly made of steel and non-ferrous materials.

Plasma Marking

Cutting plasma depends on the effect of thermal and kinetic of jet plasma, or to say that the arc power generated in the middle of pure gas greatly constricted between the hand. single emissive elements torch plasma, forming the cathode and vice versa sheet or piece to be cut forming poles connector, known as cathode and anode, the connection to the destination, respectively, deleted. and the sum of the DC power source such as Generator current.

In view of the progress made concerning the nature of the air plasma is employed. (Plasma gas composition, the structure of the electrode of the plasma torch power and the shape of the jet plasma, etc.) and on the cutting itself. (Numerical control off-line center programming actuators shaft, machine structure for guidance and drive shafts, etc.) It is now possible to include this type of installation off plasma in the line. Overall production or processes with a view. To improve and / or productivity.

However, equipment or installation for cutting plasma jet automation are now mostly available only for cutting materials in other words, the jet plasma to be delivered by flashlight. with plasma cutting is a device installed that will manufacture a full melting through the thickness of the metal parts to be machined, to obtain the defeat of this piece with a predefined geometry.

In the process. But at least three categories of increasing the pruning is often necessary to prove the sign of the geometric drawing on the work piece to identify the parts cut by a number or code standards and marked with code standards. to provide traceability or Tracking of materials produced.

In general, these additional operations under the operation of plasma cutting. But not unexpected that they may or may continue to be the first to say that the operation of plasma cutting in some cases.

More accurately the work of drawing marks on the geometry of the workpiece being cut or being cut may include drawing or marking in particular.
