Product Overview
The Gouging Shield (420112) is a specialized consumable component designed for plasma gouging applications with the Powermax 125 system (65A-125A). This shield provides essential protection and arc control during metal removal, grooving, and weld preparation operations, ensuring optimal performance and operator safety.
The Gouging Shield 420112 is a safety and performance accessory designed specifically for plasma gouging and beveling operations. Its primary purposes are:
- Operator Safety: To deflect the high-velocity stream of molten metal and sparks away from the operator, protecting them from burns and injury.
- Improved Visibility: The open design provides a clear line of sight to the arc and the workpiece, allowing for precise control during gouging.
- Process Control: It helps stabilize the torch at the correct standoff distance (typically dragging the shield on the workpiece) for consistent, high-quality gouging results.
- Protecting the Torch: Helps prevent spatter from welding onto the torch body and other consumables, extending their life.
- Plasma Cutter System: Hypertherm Powermax125® and Powermax125® SYNC.
- Designed for Use With: This shield is engineered to work with specific torch bodies and consumable sets.
- Torch: Mechanized Torch (220971) and Duramax™ Long-Life Torch.
- Consumable Set: It is a key component of the 65A-125A Gouging and Shielded Cutting Kit (420001).
- Fits Consumables: When installed, it is used with the Gouging Electrode (220942) and Gouging Nozzle (220943).
Technical Specifications & Usage
- Process: Plasma Gouging / Beveling.
- Amperage Range: Designed for the full output range of the Powermax125 (65-125 amps).
- Installation: Slides onto the front end of the torch body and is secured in place by the nozzle. It is installed afterthe swirl ring and beforethe nozzle.
- Operation Technique: The torch is typically held at a 30-45 degree angle to the workpiece. The lip of the shield is designed to be dragged along the material, maintaining the perfect arc length automatically.
Key Features and Benefits
- Durable Construction: Made from high-temperature, abrasion-resistant material to withstand the harsh gouging environment.
- Optimized Design: The shape is specifically engineered to contain and direct sparks and debris downward and away from the operator and torch.
- Essential for Gouging: Gouging without this shield is extremely hazardous and not recommended. It is a critical safety component.
- Easy to Install: Simple screw-on/thread-off installation like other consumable parts.
When to Use / Applications
Use the Gouging Shield 420112 whenever performing these tasks with a Powermax125: - Gouging: Removing defective welds, preparing weld joints, or digging out cracks.
- Beveling: Edge preparation on plates for welding.
- Wash Cleaning: Removing rust, paint, or other coatings from a surface without cutting through it.
