9-1849 - Thermal Dynamics 9-1849 Plasma Marking Tip, 0.125 Orifice

Thermal Dynamics 9-1849 Marking Tip Overview

The Thermal Dynamics 9-1849 is a specialized plasma marking tip designed for industrial fabrication environments where precision layout and part identification are critical. Unlike standard cutting tips which constrict the plasma arc to sever metal, this marking tip features a specifically engineered 0.125-inch orifice. This larger orifice diameter, combined with appropriate amperage settings, allows the plasma arc to score or mark the surface of the metal without penetrating it. This capability is essential for automated or manual operations requiring drill point locations, bend lines, or part numbers to be etched directly onto the workpiece.

Manufactured to Thermal Dynamics' rigorous OEM specifications, the 9-1849 ensures seamless compatibility with supported torch systems. The tip is constructed from high-grade copper alloy, chosen for its superior thermal and electrical conductivity. This material choice helps dissipate the heat generated during the marking process, prolonging the lifespan of the consumable and the torch head. Precision machining ensures that the gas flow remains concentric and stable, producing crisp, legible marks that are visible even after subsequent handling or light processing.

In industrial MRO and fabrication, the ability to switch between cutting and marking modes increases the versatility of a plasma system. Using the correct consumable is paramount; attempting to mark with a cutting tip can result in accidental piercing or poor mark quality. The 9-1849 provides the necessary geometry to widen the arc for surface treatment. It is an indispensable component for shops utilizing Thermal Dynamics plasma systems for comprehensive metal processing tasks, ensuring that workflow efficiency is maintained from the initial layout to the final cut.

Operators should verify compatibility with their specific torch model before installation. As with all plasma consumables, inspecting the tip for wear, spatter buildup, or orifice deformation is recommended to maintain optimal performance. This genuine Thermal Dynamics part guarantees that your equipment operates within its designed parameters, safeguarding both the torch and the quality of the output.
