What to expect during and after cutting
Postflow – After you complete a cut and
release the torch trigger, air continues
to flow from the torch in order to cool
the consumables. This is referred to as
postflow.
The length of postflow depends on the
mode and the output current. Under
certain conditions, it also depends on
the gas supply.
Exception for argon: The system recognizes when argon is being used and reduces
postflow from 10 seconds to 3 seconds in order to minimize gas usage. To achieve 3-second
postflow, the system must be set to Gouge/Marking mode with the output current set
between 10 – 25 A. When the torch fires without transferring the pilot arc to the workpiece,
postflow is 10 seconds even when the supply gas is argon.
Fan activity – The cooling fan inside the
plasma power supply runs
intermittently during and after
cutting in order to cool internal
components.
Mode Output current Length of postflow
Cut 10–45A 20seconds
Gouge/marking 26 – 45 A 20 seconds
Gouge/marking 10 – 25 A 10 seconds for air (or nitrogen)
3 seconds for argon
