MANUAL SYSTEMS REPLACEMENT PLASMA CUTTING TORCH One Torch for Virtually Any Plasma Cutting System! Take the Challenge 30 Days, 100% Satisfaction or Your Money Back, Guaranteed! Call 1-800-752-7621 for details. Total Plasma Cutting Flexibility www.thermal-dynamics.com Available With Our ATC Quick Change Connector!

The First Universal Plasma Torch! The 1Torch RPT torch is the first plasma cutting torch that performs with virtually all plasma cutting power supplies. The 1Torch works with high frequency start systems, CD start systems, touch start systems and moving parts (blow back) start systems. Install the 1Torch on your current plasma power supply and you immediately benefit from the latest in high performance torch technology available today. Important Features Include: Ergonomic Torch Handle With an innovative, easy-to-use torch trigger release, encapsulated protected torch head and precisely engineered grip, the 1Torch RPT torch is both easy and comfortable to use. Extended or Protected Consumable Parts We designed our consumable parts to adapt to your cutting style. By simply changing the shield cup, you can either have: An Extended Tip for greater visibility and control and precision drag cutting at low power. A Protected Tip for on-the-plate drag cutting at high power up to 100 amps. One Year Warranty Precision Engineered Torch Consumable Parts The 1Torch RPT torch introduces a completely new tip technology. Plasma gas management is an integral part of the tip design. Each tip is uniquely tuned to optimize cut performance at its rated cutting current. The result is precision gas management, longer consumable parts life and better cut performance across the entire range of 1Torch tips. Lower Consumable Parts Inventories and Costs The less than 25 consumable parts used with the 1Torch RPT torch can replace over 575 different consumable parts used over a broad range of plasma systems. Improved Leads 1Torch Leads are lightweight, extremely flexible and tough the ideal combination of durability and ease of use. ATC (Advanced Torch Connector) Quick Disconnect Option Our quick disconnect design brings extra flexibility to any plasma system. Imagine being able to change out a damaged plasma cutting torch, easily convert from a hand to a machine torch operation, or simply put on a different size torch all in the matter of a few seconds and not have to use any tools to complete the task! ATC Lead Extensions for Improved Versatility You can add substantial flexibility and versatility to your cutting operations with the use of Lead Extensions. Quick Disconnect Lead Extensions, in 15 ft., 25 ft. and 50 ft. lengths, make it easy and efficient to add or subtract lead length according to the job requirements. 1Torch RPT torch and ATC connector are patent pending. page 2 U.S. Plasma Manual : 800-752-7621 / FAX 800-221-4401 U.S. Plasma Automation : 866-279-2628 / FAX 316-941-4491

One Torch for Virtually Any Plasma Cutting System! Selecting the Right Torch Package for Your Needs... It s as easy as 1, 2, 3! 1 1Torch and Leads Selection Chart 1 (pg. 4) gives you all the information you ll need to select the right torch. Torches are grouped into two sections SL60 and SL100 Hand Torches. Find the appropriate section, decide whether the standard RPT connection or the ATC is right for you, then select the torch with the desired amperage range and leads length. 2 2Adapter Kit Selection Select the appropriate Adapter Kit from Chart 2 (pg. 5). If you selected a torch with the ATC Connection, you will also need an ATC Receptacle Adapter (see Chart 1). 3 3Spare Parts Selection From Chart 3 (pg. 6), select an RPT Spare Parts Kit or specific consumable parts that best suit your cutting requirements. Options The diagram below shows the differences between the Standard RPT and the ATC Torch connections.
