SHAPE PROGRAMMING
The shape to be cut on the pipe must be first laid out flat as if the pipe is slit along the length and
opened out.
1. Draw the required shape on the paper to some convenient scale.
2. Refer to the Segment Chart and divide the shape into straight line straight line and arc segments.
3. Decide on the operation sequence and mark any other operations such as turning torch on or off,
or delay.
4. Numbering all the segments in sequence, including other operations if any, and make a table
with required data. Example for a clockwise circle starting from the top: (dimensions
described fir metric version
Segment: No. Type Quadrant Dimensions
1.
1 1 300 (30 mm)
2. 1 4 300
3. 1 3 300
4. 1 2 300
5. With machine turned on and the pendant plugged in, select which shape number
this will be – for instance, No. 3.
Push C: display reads Shape No._
Push 3 for No. 3, press Enter key (backwards arrow).
The program is now in Shape No. 3.
6. Push A: display read “Total Segments?”
Push 4 for 4 segments and Enter. Display reads “1 Type?” waiting for segment 1
data.
7. Push 1 for type, clockwise arc. (refer to programming Chart on next page)
Display reads “Quadrant?”
Push 1 for quadrant 1
Display reads “mm x 10”
Push 3, 0, 0 Enter, for 300, which is 30.0 mm
Segment 1 has now been entered,
Display reads “2. type?”, asking for data for Segment 2.
8. Repeat above steps to enter data for segments, in sequence.
Display will read “Ready” after all segments are entered.
The Shape program is now stored in memory as Shape No. 3
and the machine is ready to cut the shape.
