20140217070 | Systems and Methods for Thermally Working a Workpiece - A system for thermally working a workpiece has a torch body having a first axial end positionable near the workpiece and a torch receptacle coupled to a second axial end of the torch body. A plurality of ports extend axially through the torch receptacle from a first axial end of the torch receptacle to a second axial end of the torch receptacle. A plurality of fittings provided at the second axial end of the torch body for communication with a subset of the plurality of ports. The torch body comprises one of a plasma torch body and an oxy-fuel torch body that is exchangeably coupled to the torch receptacle. The subset of the plurality of ports is a plasma subset when the plasma torch body is coupled to the torch receptacle and an oxy-fuel subset when the oxy-fuel torch body is coupled to the torch receptacle. | 08-07-2014 |
20100043244 | Edge Detect System - An edge detect system, using a torch height control system based on the use of a free floating probe in contact with the workpiece, uses a drop in pressurized air supplied to the probe tip in contact with the workpiece when the probe moves off the plate edge to generate a signal that prevents the torch from following the free floating probe downwardly and thereby prevents the cutting tool from crashing into the workpiece. | 02-25-2010 |
