Hand torch description
SmartSYNC® hand torches come in 75° and 15° models.
- The 75° hand torch is a general purpose torch designed for the widest range of applications.
- The 15° hand torch is designed to point heat away from the operator during gouging. It also makes it easier to cut overhead or in areas that are not easy to reach.
SmartSYNC hand torch features include:
- A control on the torch that lets you adjust the output current (A) from the torch. Refer to Adjust the output current from the hand torch.
- Automatic setting of operating mode, amperage, and gas pressure related to the Hypertherm® cartridge that you install, the torch type, and the torch lead length
- Communication of cartridge information to the plasma power supply, such as cartridge type
- A torch-lock switch that prevents the torch from firing accidentally, even when the plasma power supply is ON. Refer to Step 6 – Unlock the SmartSYNC torch.
- The FastConnect™ quick-disconnect system that lets you easily remove and change torches
