2 – Machine Setup
Creep Speed Percentage: Defines what percentage of the machine cut speed will be used when creeping. Generally,
creep speed is 25% of the cut speed.
Torch Height Disable Speed: Specifies the percentage of the program cut speed at which the CNC disables the
height control. For example, when the cutting system is slowed to cut a part feature such as a corner, the arc
voltage increases which would cause the torch to lower into the workpiece. When the cutting system slows
down to this percentage of the cut speed, the CNC disables THC voltage tracking.
For more information, see the Torch Height Disable section in this chapter.
Distance Before THD Speed: This distance is active whenever the program cut speed drops below the Torch Height
Disable Speed, or segments intersect at an angle greater than the tangent angle. Specifies the distance
before turning a corner at which the CNCs disables the torch height control.
Distance After THD Speed: Specifies the distance after turning a corner to enable voltage tracking for torch height
control. Distance After THD Speed is active whenever the speed drops below the Torch Height Disable
Speed, or segments intersect at an angle greater than the tangent angle.
S-curve Acceleration: Select Yes to enable S-curve acceleration. Select No to use trapezoidal acceleration.
Depending on the application and table mechanics, S-curve acceleration can reduce or eliminate “jerk” that
results from trapezoidal motion. See
S-Curve acceleration later in this section for more information.
CBH Speeds
The CBH speed setup parameters display only if they have been enabled.
CBH Acceleration Rate: Specifies the acceleration rate for smooth and stable movement of the contoured bevel head.
The higher the acceleration rate, the quicker the CBH reaches cutting speed. The lower the acceleration
rate, the smoother the machine will position the cutting device. Values are entered in revolutions/second
2.
Maximum CBH Speed: Specifies the maximum speed for the CBH rotation in revolutions/minute.
CBH High Jog / Home Speed: Specifies the manual CBH jog and fast Home speed.
CBH Low Jog / Home Speed: Specifies the CBH slow home speed.
THC Speeds
The THC speed setup parameters display only if a Sensor THC has been set up on the Machine Setups screen.
THC Acceleration Rate: Specifies the acceleration rate for smooth and stable movement of the Sensor THC. The
higher the acceleration rate, the quicker the THC reaches cutting speed. The lower the acceleration rate, the
smoother the machine will position the cutting device. Values are entered in milliGs.
Maximum THC Speed: Specifies the maximum speed for the Sensor THC in inches / minute.
THC Jog Speed: Specifies the THC jog speed.
THC Home/Fast IHS Speed: Specifies the speed that is used to home the torch at the top of the slide and to move the
torch from the selected IHS height until it senses the workpiece.
