More Information
Summary:An apparatus and method of manufacturing a plasma torch consumable is disclosed. The invention includes at least two of a tip (58), a shielding cup (64), an electrode (42), and a swirl ring (50) being integral to form a unitary one-piece assembly prior to being attached to the torch (16). Such a construction minimizes the number of parts that must be handled and orientated when connecting the consumable assembly to a plasma torch (16).
