The pilot arc is responsible for the ignition of the main arc. It has low energy and ensures the beginning ionization of the way between the plasma torch and the work-piece. This can have a positive i [..]

The term cathode is used because of the negative charge of the „non-fusing electrode“ of the plasma torch. Occasionally, it is also called "electrode“.

The abbreviation CNC stands for "Computerized Numerical Control" and is an electronic method for the regulation and control of machine tools or also guiding systems.

CONTOUR CUT is a further development of the HiFocus technology especially for cutting small contours in mild steel. In particular holes with a diameter to thickness ratio of 1:1 are cut with highest q [..]

With CONTOR CUT SPEED contours can be cut at similar quality up to 50% faster. Due to the shorter processing time the costs per cutting metre are reduced.

A CUTBUS is used for the data transfer of technology parameters from the guiding system to the height control unit.

In chemistry, dissociation is the excited or self-acting process in which chemical compounds separate into two or more molecules, atoms or ions. The dissociation energy is the energy which is required [..]

The drop-shaped adherence at the bottom cutting edge is called dross.

Enthalpy is the amount of thermal energy which is released (exothermic) or consumed (endothermic) during a process which takes place at constant pressure.
