High Quality Hole Cutting Using Variable Shield Gas Compositions

US Patent:
8354609, Jan 15, 2013
Filed:
Dec 22, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/341731
Inventors:
Jon W. Lindsay - Hanover NH, US
Guy T. Best - Bethel VT, US
Assignee:
Hypertherm, Inc. - Hanover NH
International Classification:
B23K 10/00
US Classification:
21912144, 21912139, 21912155, 21912146
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for a plasma torch system having a plasma torch tip configuration that includes a nozzle, an electrode, and a control unit for controlling a composition of the shield gas flow, such that while cutting the contour the shield gas flow comprises a first shield gas composition and while cutting the hole the shield gas flow comprises a second shield gas composition.

High Quality Hole Cutting Using Variable Shield Gas Compositions

US Patent:
8354610, Jan 15, 2013
Filed:
Sep 29, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/248949
Inventors:
Jon W. Lindsay - Hanover NH, US
Guy T. Best - Bethel VT, US
Assignee:
Hypertherm, Inc. - Hanover NH
International Classification:
B23K 10/00
US Classification:
21912144, 21912139, 21912155, 21912146
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for a plasma torch system having a plasma torch tip configuration that includes a nozzle, an electrode, and a control unit for controlling a composition of the shield gas flow, such that while cutting the contour the shield gas flow comprises a first shield gas composition and while cutting the hole the shield gas flow comprises a second shield gas composition.

Method And Apparatus For Cutting High Quality Internal Features And Contours

US Patent:
8436270, May 7, 2013
Filed:
Sep 30, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/250979
Inventors:
Jon W. Lindsay - Hanover NH, US
Guy T. Best - Bethel VT, US
Peter V. Brahan - North Sutton NH, US
Gregory S. Wilson - Newbury NH, US
Assignee:
Hypertherm, Inc. - Hanover NH
International Classification:
B23K 10/00
US Classification:
21912144, 21912139, 21912159, 21912155
Abstract:
An automated method for cutting a plurality of hole features using a plasma arc torch system can be implemented on a computer numerical controller. The automated method can include the steps of: a) cutting a lead-in for a hole feature using a lead-in command speed based on a diameter of that hole feature and b) cutting a perimeter for the hole feature using a perimeter command speed greater than the corresponding lead-in command speed for the hole feature. The automated method can also include the step c) of repeating steps a) and b) for each additional hole feature having a same diameter or a different diameter.

Method And Apparatus For Automatic Gas Control For A Plasma Arc Torch

US Patent:
8541710, Sep 24, 2013
Filed:
Feb 29, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/040787
Inventors:
Aaron D. Brandt - West Lebanon NH, US
Christopher S. Passage - Canaan NH, US
Shane M. Selmer - Ascutney VT, US
Girish R. Kamath - Lebanon NH, US
Guy T. Best - Bethel VT, US
Stephen M. Liebold - Grantham NH, US
Jon W. Lindsay - West Lebanon NH, US
Zheng Duan - Hanover NH, US
Assignee:
Hypertherm, Inc. - Hanover NH
International Classification:
B23K 9/16
H05H 1/34
H05H 1/36
US Classification:
21912139, 21912151, 21912155, 21912159
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for controlling a gas supply to a plasma arc torch uses a proportional control solenoid valve positioned adjacent the torch to manipulate the gas flow to the torch, thereby extending electrode life during arc transfer and shutdown. Swirl ring design can be simplified and gas supply and distribution systems become less complicated. The invention also allows manipulation of shield gas flow to reduce divot formation when making interior cuts. The system can be controlled with a digital signal processor utilizing a feedback loop from a sensor.

Internal Part Feature Cutting Method And Apparatus

US Patent:
8541711, Sep 24, 2013
Filed:
May 15, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/466786
Inventors:
Jon W. Lindsay - Hanover NH, US
Guy T. Best - Bethel VT, US
Peter V. Brahan - North Sutton NH, US
Gregory S. Wilson - Newbury NH, US
Assignee:
Hypertherm, Inc. - Hanover NH
International Classification:
B23K 10/00
US Classification:
21912144, 21912139, 21912155, 21912159
Abstract:
A method for cutting an internal feature in a workpiece using a plasma cutting system can include cutting in a first zone using at least one cutting parameter from a first cutting parameter set, which can include a first cutting current and/or a first speed. The method can include cutting in a second zone using at least one cutting parameter from a second cutting parameter set that can be different from the first cutting parameter set. The second cutting parameter set can include a second cutting current and/or a second speed. The method can also include cutting in a third zone using at least one cutting parameter from a third cutting parameter set, which can be different from the first cutting parameter set or the second cutting parameter set. The third cutting parameter set can include a third cutting current and/or a third speed.
