IMPORTANT:
1. Once the STOP / PAUSE button is pressed, computer control is halted until the RUN /
RESUME or the RESET button is pressed. Therefore the programming cannot be done with
the pendant in this state: the RESET button should be pressed first.
2. After pushing “A” and programming a new shape, END of Segment Slowdown will still have
the old value unless reprogrammed. To set a new value, push “E”.
WRITING A SHAPE PROGRAM
The shape to be cut on the pipe must first be laid out flat as if the pipe was slit along the length
and opened up flat.
1. Draw the required shape on paper to some convenient scale.
2. Refer to the Segment Chart and divide the shape into straight line and arc segments.
3. Decide on the operation sequence and mark any other operations such as turning torch “ON
/ OFF”, or DELAY.
4. Number all the segments in sequence, including other positions if any, and make a table with
the required data.
Example: For a clockwise circle starting from the top. (Dimensions described for 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 the machine turned on, select which shape number this will be saved in memory as, for
instance, No. 3.
Push “C”, display reads Shape No. __.
Push 3 for No. 3, press the ENTER key (backward arrow).
The program is now saved as Shape No. 3.
6. Push “A” the display will read “Total Segments ?”
Push 4 for 4 segments and press the ENTER button.
The display will read “1 Type ?” waiting for segment 1 data.
7. Push 1 for type, clockwise arc. (Refer to Programming Segment Chart)
The display reads “Quadrant ?”
Push 1 for quadrant 1.
The display reads “mm X 10”
Push 3, 0, 0, Enter, for 300, which is 30.0 mm.
Segment 1 has now been entered.
The display will read “2 Type ?” asking for data for Segment 2.
8. Repeat the steps above to enter data for all segments, in sequence. The display will read
“Ready” after all segments have been entered. The shape program is now stored in memory
as “Shape No. 3”, and the machine is ready to cut the programmed shape.
