With our FIT+ three torches, the ignition of the flame works very reliably. However, under certain conditions it may happen that the ignition is not successful the first time. For this reason, we have integrated ignition detection into the APC Automatic Oxy-Fuel Process Control System. If the ignition does not produce a flame the first time, ignition is repeated until the flame is on. This is a further step on the way to a complete Oxy-Fuel cutting process automation.

The right flame for oxyfuel cutting
Does your
preheating take longer than specified in the cutting table?
Is the
cutting quality bad?
One reason
may be the incorrect setting of the flame.
A cutting
flame should have the correct mixture between heating oxygen and heating gas.
With propane,
it is approx. 1 part propane and 4 parts oxygen. For acetylene, it is about
1:1.
In the
attached video, you can see examples of a heating flame.
For the
correct adjustment often years of experience is necessary.
Alternatively,
you use APC, our fully automatic Oxy-Fuel Process Control System.
