Abstract

A plasma-arc torch interlock with pressure sensing is provided. A pressure sensor is included within the conduit supplying working fluid to a plasma-arc torch. By sensing a decrease in pressure of the working fluid which is caused by a necessary part being not in place, a control circuit shuts off power to the torch. In a second embodiment, two conduits are provided to supply fluid to the torch. One conduit supplies the primary working fluid to create the plasma-arc while the other supplies secondary flow for purposes of cooling.
