PROGRAMMING SHAPES OPERATION

When power is turned “ON”, the position of the torch becomes the reference START position.

There are three options (the hand held pendant is not needed for the first two):

1. MOVE

To change the start position, push the STOP / PAUSE button, move the machine

manually to the desired START position using the MANUAL JOG switch, and push the

RESET button.

2. RUN

Push the START / RESUME button to cut a shape.

3. PROGRAM (entry or change)

The programming operation is selected by pressing the alpha keys A, B, C, D, and E.

A: All segments, data entry for a new shape consists of the total number of

segments.

Data for each: Type

(arc, X/Y line or slope)

Quadrant

1-4

Size

(radius, or X/Y dimension)

NOTE: See writing a shape program for more details.

For example, a 2" (51 mm) diameter circle could be four segments:

1. 2, 1, 100 Counter-clockwise arc, quadrant 1, 1.00 inch radius

2. 2, 2, 100 Counter-clockwise arc, quadrant 2, 1.00 inch radius

3. 2, 3, 100 Counter-clockwise arc, quadrant 3, 1.00 inch radius

4. 2, 4, 100 Counter-clockwise arc, quadrant 4, 1.00 inch radius

The data should be tabulated on paper from a diagram before entering.

B: PROGRAM Segment

Press “B” on the pendant keypad to reprogram a single segment. This is useful if

there is an error in data for just one segment, so the whole shape does not have to

be re-entered.

C: CHANGE Shape number

Press “C” on the pendant keypad to change the current shape number, and enter

the desired number at the prompt. The program switches to the new number in

memory, and to whatever shape is stored in that memory location.

D: DISPLAY Shape Data

Press “D” on the pendant keypad to display the data for the current shape.

The pendant display shows the total number of segments, and data for each

segment one by one each time you press ENTER.

E: END of Segment Slowdown

IN THE SHAPE PROGRAM, FOR THE FIRST CUT OF A GIVEN DIAMETER,

THE PIPE DIAMETER MUST BE ENTERED. Press “E” on the pendant keypad,

the display will prompt for the pipe diameter, and then the Slowdown value.
