Mount the torch Depending on the type of cutting table you have, you may or may not need to disassemble the torch to route it through the track and mount it. If your cutting table’s track is large enough for you to thread the torch through it without removing the torch body from the lead, do so and then attach the torch to the lifter per the manufacturer’s instructions. Note: T he T45m can be mounted on a wide variety of X-Y tables, track

Page 29: Connect The Gas Supply POWeR SUPPlY SetUP Connect the gas supply Connect the gas supply to the power supply using an inert-gas hose with a 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) internal diameter and a 1/4 NPT quick-disconnect coupler, or a 1/4 NPT x G-1/4 BSPP (CE units) quick-disconnect coupler. 80 – 100 psi (5.5 – 6.9 bar) gas supply (maximum 135 psi or 9.3 bar) with a flow rate of at least 350 scfh (165.2 l/min). The recommended flow rate and pressure is 360 scfh @ 90 psi (170 l/min @ 6.2 bar). Additional gas filtration When site conditions introduce moisture, oil, or other contaminants into the gas line, use a 3-stage coalescing filtration system, such as the Eliminizer filter kit (part number 128647) available from Hypertherm distributors. A 3-stage filtering system works as shown below to clean contaminants from the gas supply.
