An improved collimator (102) for a plasma arc torch (12) consists of an annular holder member (104) and an insert member (118). The insert member (118) includes a tubular stem portion (120) ending in an integrally formed, radially extending face plate (132). When the stem portion (130) is Fitted into the central bore (108) of the holder member (104) with a predetermined clearance fit therebetween, a cooling water passage (124) is created. The improved collimator is characterized by the absence of any welds between the holder member (104) and the insert member (118) that would be exposed to conductive gases given off during use of the plasma are torch and a lesser resistance to cooling water flow than prior art collimator designs.
L'invention concerne un collimateur amélioré pour torche à plasma, constitué d'un élément de support annulaire et d'un élément rapporté. L'élément rapporté comprend une partie tige tubulaire se terminant par une plaquette radiale formée d'un seul tenant. Lorsque la partie tige est insérée dans l'orifice central de l'élément de support, avec un jeu prédéterminé, un passage pour l'eau de refroidissement est créé. Ce collimateur amélioré est caractérisé par l'absence, entre l'élément de support et l'élément rapporté, de joints de soudures qui seraient exposées aux gaz conducteurs dégagés pendant le fonctionnement de la torche à plasma, ainsi que par une résistance plus faible à l'écoulement de l'eau de refroidissement que les modèles de collimateurs préexistants.
