Section 9: Pause 133
The differences between the On-path Pause Window and the Off-path Pause window are outlined
below.
Return to Path
Pressing the Return to Path softkey in the Off-path Pause window returns the cutting device to the
point on the cut path from which it was jogged away. Most useful for inspecting or replacing cutting
device components after a cut loss and then returning to the cut loss point. When the cutting device is
back on the cut path, the On-path Pause Window is restored and the cut may be resumed.
Move Part
When the Move Part softkey is pressed, the entire part is shifted on the plate. The point along the cut
path to which the cutting device was moved becomes the new current position of the cutting device.
The On-path Pause window is then re-displayed since the cutting device is now back on path.
Off-Path Restart
By pressing the START key from the Off-path Pause window, a lead-in is constructed from the off-
path point back to the original part.
In a cut loss situation, the operator would use the Backup on Path key in the On-path Pause window
menu to position the cutting device on the cut path where the cut was lost. The operator would then
use the Manual arrow keys to jog the cutting device off path to a suitable pierce point. Pressing
START at this point causes a new lead-in to be cut from the off-path pierce point to the point along
the path from which the cutting device was jogged away. When the cutting device is back on path, it
continues along the path to cut the remainder of the part.
