Plasma arc torch rotational assembly

A plasma torch rotation assembly comprising:

• an outer housing having a mounting surface adapted to be fixedly coupled to a torch mount on a plasma arc torch motion driving system;
• an inner component disposed at least partially within the outer housing, the inner component having a first end and a second end;
• a means for providing a rotational movement of the outer housing with respect to the inner component, about a longitudinal axis of the rotation assembly;
• a torch adapter disposed near the first end of the inner component,
• a plasma torch receptacle adapted to mate with the torch adapter, the plasma torch receptacle comprising:
• a torch connector at a first end of the plasma torch receptacle to mate with a plasma arc torch, the torch connector comprising a quick disconnect, and
• a lead set connector at a second end of the plasma torch receptacle to mate with a lead set;
• and
• a receiving portion disposed at the second end of the inner component, the receiving portion adapted to receive the lead set.

A universal rotational plasma torch sleeve connectable to a plasma torch mount, the torch sleeve comprising:

• a torch sleeve body having a first end and a second end,
• the first end of the torch sleeve body adapted to receive a plasma torch receptacle, the torch receptacle comprising:
• a torch connector at a first end of the plasma torch receptacle to mate with a plasma arc torch, the torch connector comprising a quick disconnect, and
• a lead set connector at a second end of the plasma torch receptacle to mate with at least a portion of a lead set,
• the second end of the torch sleeve body adapted to couple to at least a portion of the lead set, and
• a mounting surface of the torch sleeve body rotatable relative to the torch sleeve body, the mounting surface sized to be received by a variety of standardized torch mounts that are designed to hold and manipulate non-rotational torch sleeves.
