MANIFOLD FOR A MULTI-CONSUMABLE DELIVERY TORCH WITH TWO INLETS AND ONE OUTLET; CONSUMABLE DELIVERY TORCH AND SYSTEM

摘要

A system and method is provided where a torch having a consumable manifold can direct one of a plurality of possible consumables (106, 108) to a workpiece (115) for an operation without having the need to re-run a consumable (106, 108) or use a different torch. The torch manifold has at least two feeding throats which feed into a common main throat which then couples to the throat of a torch tip to deliver the desired consumable (106, 108).
