The FT100 Torch Ignitor is used to remotely ignite any brand of oxyfuel torch. Since no arc is struck, critical alignment is not needed forthe ignitor, allowing for an easy and fast tip change out.

When the FT100 Torch Ignitor is energized, the fuel gas solenoid opens, allowing gas to flow.  The gas is then lit with a high voltage arc (approximately 6500 volts) at the ignitor's nozzle.  To assure ignition of the FT100's flame, sparking will continue in four second durations.  The flame is aimed along a 45 degree angle at the torch tip.  The ignition flame then lights the low preheat fuel gas and oxygen stream exiting from the machine torch's tip.

The FT100 Torch Ignitor is available on the Edgemate, EdgeMaster, Titan II, MPC2000, and TMC4500ST machine models.
