Machine cutting torch system

A cutting torch system including a cutting torch that utilizes oxygen and fuel gas to cut, comprising:

• a cutting torch comprising:
• a cutting oxygen channel for supplying a cutting oxygen;
• a heating oxygen channel for supplying a heating oxygen;
• a fuel gas channel for supplying a fuel gas;
• an ignition mixer configured to selectively generate an ignition gas from the heating oxygen and the fuel gas;
• and
• at least one sensor adapted for measuring a pressure, a flow rate, or the pressure and the flow rate within the cutting oxygen channel, the heating oxygen channel, the fuel gas channel, or any combination of the cutting oxygen channel, the heating oxygen channel, and the fuel gas channel, wherein the at least one sensor is disposed within the cutting torch;
• and
• a control system adapted to maintain a temperature of the cutting torch to allow operation of the at least one sensor, wherein the control system maintains the temperature by adjusting a flow rate and/or a pressure of the heating oxygen, the cutting oxygen, and/or the fuel gas supplied to the cutting torch, by switching the cutting torch between an ignition mode and a cleaning and cooling mode, or by executing the adjusting in combination with the switching.
