delays of the cut gases that will maintain the cut arc and widen the cut path at the end of
the cut segment.
Full Torch Up Time
Specifies the length of time to raise the torch at the beginning and end of each cut to
provide clearance over the cut pieces. If you are using an automatic height control
system, set Torch Up Time to zero.
Partial Torch Up Time
Specifies the length of time for a partial raise of the torch at the beginning and end of
each cut to provide clearance over the cut pieces. If you are using an automatic height
control system, set Torch Up Time to zero. Note: The Partial Raise parameter must be
enabled.
Torch Down Time
Specifies the length of time to lower the torch at the beginning of each cutting cycle. If
you are using an automatic height control system, set Torch Down Time to zero.
Arc Off Time
Specifies the amount of delay to allow prior to indicating a lost cut signal. This can be
useful in helping to minimize nuisance trips when traveling over previously cut paths in
complex nested parts.
Stop Time
Specifies the amount of time that X/Y motion will pause at the end of a cut. This pause is
advantageous for allowing the torch to completely raise and clear any cut irregularities
before continuing to the next cut segment.
Retract Delay
Retract Delay specifies the amount of time X/Y and lifter motion will pause at the end of
a cut. This allows the cut process to finish before lifting the torch and moving to the next
pierce.
Set Arc Current
The Set Arc Current feature allows the user to set the arc current at the plasma supply.
This feature uses the “Set Current BCD” output from the control to activate the BCD
inputs at the plasma supply. The Set Arc Current parameter is also available for the
HD4070 via the serial link. EIA RS-274D part program code G59 Vvalue Fvalue for
setting current is supported.
Corner Current Percent
The Corner Current Percent feature allows the operator to select a reduced current setting
to be executed when cutting corners to improve cut quality. This value is a percentage of
the Set Current (above) and is active when the Torch Height Disable Output is on. The
Corner Current parameter is also available for the HD4070 via the serial link.
