It is adynamic Anti -Dive thatkeeps the torch tip fromdiving down andpossibly hitting thematerial if the cutcrosses an existing kerfor void. The torchdiving is caused whenthe THC sees a rapidspike in voltage as theplasma has less metalto cut and interpretatesthat as needing to lowerthe torch (lower the gapvoltage). This happensat the end of most cutsas the kerf comes backto the start point and theplasma gets starved formetal to cut. TIPSAVER prevents thehead dive at the end ofa cut seen in mostTHCs. It isrecommended you usethe TIP SAVER in mostcutting. Values muchover 4 or 5 % do verylittle for end of cut torchdive. You do need tohave the SETV valueright and the torchcutting propely for theTIP SAVER to workright.Page 10
