Do you have a non-pilot arc plasma cutter? But is there a diy plasma cutter pilot arc mod? I will teach you in this video how to do a pilot arc conversion with a non-pilot arc plasma cutter by modifying the torch leads. In other words, you can now use your non-pilot plasma cutter using your non-pilot arc plasma cutter torch and make it work like a pilot arc torch. (BUT DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK AS I MIGHT DAMAGE YOUR MACHINE)
But before that, let’s answer first what many people are asking - what is a pilot arc plasma cutter? Pilot arc means when you pull the trigger on your plasma torch a flame comes out of your torch before you touch the metal you want to cut with it. But with a non-pilot arc you must touch your torch on the metal before it will start to cut. This can cause rapid consumable wear and is also difficult to cut painted or rusty still without cleaning it first.
To understand how a plasma cutter works, you must also understand what is plasma? Plasma is an ionized gas composed of free electrons and positive ions that when heated with electricity becomes a super-heated ionized gas that can cut through metals. So the process of how plasma can cut through metal goes like this. When electricity flows through the electrode which is located inside the torch and the gas or air from an air compressor passes through it, this gas becomes ionized. Ionized gas when heated with electricity will produce hot plasma which we call plasma arc.
And because the tip of the torch is constricted, the release of hot plasma is more controlled and more concentrated making the plasma hotter and more efficient in cutting metals. So a pilot arc plasma cutter is a machine that produces a hot plasma arc and utilizes its plasma cutter torch as the main cutting tool.
In our videos, we are only using compressed air from our air compressor which we have connected to our non-pilot arc plasma cutter. We are also demonstrating two types of torches - the pilot arc and the non-pilot arc torch.
The pilot arc plasma cutter torch can be able to release super-heated plasma at the press of a button. However, the non-pilot arc torch cannot release hot plasma without conducting electricity so it needs metal to create a spark followed by the release of hot plasma.
The main goals of this video are two. One is how to do a pilot arc conversion when your available machine is a non-pilot arc and your torch is also a non-pilot arc. And two, how to use your pilot arc torch on a non-pilot arc cutter by basic modification.
To specify, I am demonstrating here how your non-pilot arc plasma cutter torch can be converted into a pilot arc plasma cutter torch by only using a small earth clamp. As I’ve said in this video, I am not an expert electrician and don't recommend doing this.
Simply, it’s up to you if you want to try what I’m showing you here or you can also consult an expert. Yet, the good thing about learning pilot arc conversion can be essential if you are only using a basic plasma cutter. With my suggestion, you won’t need to buy another cutting machine to use your other torches.
I also have other videos on how to cut metals using a non-pilot arc plasma cutter torch without the need for any pilot arc conversion if you are cutting up a painted, rusty or dirty metal. Watch these and you can have an easier job with your non-pilot arc torches. If you want to know more about pilot arc plasma cutter torch and how to save money using them, particularly about its consumables, I also have other videos on what to remember when buying your plasma cutter accessories.
