LOTOS LTP8050 CNC 80AMP Plasmaskærerens brugermanual

1. Introduktion

This manual provides essential instructions for the safe and efficient operation, setup, maintenance, and troubleshooting of your LOTOS LTP8050 CNC 80AMP Plasma Cutter. Please read this manual thoroughly before operating the equipment and retain it for future reference.

2. Sikkerhedsoplysninger

Plasma cutting involves high voltage, high temperatures, and intense light. Always follow safety precautions to prevent injury or damage to equipment.

• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including welding helmet with proper shade, flame-resistant clothing, gloves, and safety shoes.
• Ensure adequate ventilation to remove fumes and gases.
• Må ikke opereres i damp eller våde forhold.
• Hold børn og uautoriseret personale væk fra arbejdsområdet.
• Afbryd strømmen, før du udfører vedligeholdelse eller udskifter forbrugsvarer.
• Sørg for korrekt jordforbindelse af udstyret.
• Use clean, dry compressed air as specified.

4. Opsætning

4.1 Power and Air Connection

1. Connect the plasma cutter to a single-phase 215–245V power supply. A 50A breaker is recommended.
2. Connect a clean, dry air supply to the pre-installed NPT 1/4" Type-D plug and air filter-regulator. Ensure the air supply provides at least 80 PSI at 4.5 SCFM.
3. Verify the air pressure on the unit's display.

4.2 Torch and Ground Cable Connection

1. Connect the 14-ft plasma torch to the central connector on the front panel of the unit.
2. Attach the ground cable to the appropriate terminal on the front panel.
3. Fastgør jordforbindelsen sikkertamp til emnet, hvilket sikrer god elektrisk kontakt.

4.3 CNC Interface Connection (Optional)

The LTP8050CNC is equipped with a pre-installed CNC port for Torch Height Control (THC) and ARC OK signals. This non-HF blowback start design reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) for CNC electronics.

• Connect your CNC plasma table interface to the dedicated CNC port on the rear of the unit using the provided 2-pin and 5-pin connectors.
• Refer to your CNC table's manual for specific wiring instructions for THC and ARC OK signals.

5. Betjeningsvejledning

5.1 Tænd og startindstillinger

1. Turn on the main power switch located on the rear of the unit.
2. The large LED display will illuminate, showing current settings.
3. Juster amperage (20-80A DC) using the control knob on the front panel according to the material thickness and type.
4. Adjust Pilot-Arc Time (6–15 seconds) and Post-Flow (2–10 seconds) as needed for your application. An input-pressure reminder assists in maintaining consistent kerfs and extending torch life.

5.2 Skæreteknikker

The LTP8050CNC supports both stand-off and drag cutting methods.

• Stand-off skæring: Maintain a consistent gap (typically 1-2mm) between the torch tip and the workpiece. This method requires a steady hand and can result in rougher edges if the gap is not consistent.
• Træk klipning: The torch tip rests directly on the workpiece. This method is easier for beginners, provides better stability, results in fewer burrs, cleaner cut lines, and is ideal for template tracing or freehand cutting. Drag consumables are sold separately.

5.3 Material Compatibility and Cutting Capacity

The unit cuts stainless steel, mild/alloy steel, aluminum, and copper with reduced slag and minimal post-processing.

• Rent snit: Up to 1 inch (25mm)
• Severance Cut: Op til 1.5 tommer

6. Vedligeholdelse

6.1 Forbrugsstoffer

Regularly inspect and replace torch consumables (nozzles, electrodes, shield cups) as they wear out. Worn consumables can negatively affect cut quality and torch performance. Refer to the consumables section of the full manual for replacement procedures.

6.2 Luftsystem

Ensure your compressed air supply is clean and dry. Periodically drain any moisture from the air filter-regulator and the compressor tank. Moisture in the air line can cause poor cut quality and damage to the torch.

7. Fejlfinding

This section covers common issues. For detailed troubleshooting, consult the complete product manual.
