The plasma powder welding torches work with two independently adjustable
arcs (pilot and main arcs) that are supplied with power from the power source.
The pilot arc burns between an anodically poled copper nozzle. It is ignited by
means of a high-frequency voltage and used to ignite the main arc. The main
arc burns between the tungsten electrode and the anodically poled workpiece.
The plasma gas is expelled from the plasma nozzle's opening as a high-energy
plasma jet and provides the thermal energy required for welding. The filler
material is fed to the process in powder form. The arc and the molten pool are
protected by the inert gas or the active gas components. The cable assembly
serves as a supply line and is equipped with all connection elements.
