4.07 TSC-3000 Creating a Custom Process
Considerable effort has been made to define the best parameters for each cutting and marking process. However for various rea-
sons, variations in material composition, variations in cutting table performance, user preferences, etc. you may desire to modify
one or more processes. Or perhaps you want to keep the same cutting current and gas pressures but save different THC / CNC
parameters such as cutting speed, arc voltage, pierce height, etc. That will still be treated as a custom process.
Creating a Custom Process starts with an existing standard process. From there you may adjust the cutting current and the gas
pressures. It’s up to you to determine and enter the correct values. There no limits in these values, if you change too far it may
cause faults.
You may also change the values displayed on THC/CNC Settings screen. THC / CNC settings on the TSC-3000 at this time are for
information only. They do not connect to the THC or CNC so do not automatically modify setting in those devices. Still, when
you determine the correct values for your modified (custom) process you may want to record them here.
The custom process will have the same name as the standard base process but it will be automatically assigned a new number
and the whole name and number will be in red text wherever it appears.
You cannot change the gas type. If you want a different gas types find a standard process that uses those types and edit it.
First step is to select a standard process. Usually you want a process that is for the same metal type and thickness that you want
to cut. From the HOME screen you may select a recent process (sect 4.06, Selecting Recently Used Process) or a new process
(sect 4.05, Selecting New Process).
