Zero Positions
Pressing this softkey zeroes all axes positions.
Rip Cutting
When the Manual Mode window displays Rip Cut, the arrow keys can then be used to initiate a
cut sequence and machine motion in the direction chosen.
To initiate a Rip Cut, first ensure that the proper cut-mode (Oxy or Plasma) was previously
selected. Next, make sure that the proper cut speed is displayed in the Cut Speed window
(editable in Rip Cut mode) and then press the arrow key corresponding to the desired start
direction for the cut. The cutting sequence proceeds even after the key is released; however,
machine motion is generated only as long as an arrow key is held down, unless the latched
manual key feature has been enabled. Use the various arrow keys to change direction and the
cutting device will continue to operate until the Stop, Cancel or Manual Key is pressed.
Manual Options
Raise Torch
Raises the cutting torch while the softkey is pressed or until the Torch Up sense input is
activated.
Lower Torch
Lowers the cutting torch while the softkey is pressed or until the Torch Down sense input is
activated. If the Torch Down Output has been enabled to stay on during the cut in Plasma
setups, pressing the Lower Torch softkey will keep the torch in the down position until the Lower
Torch softkey is depressed a second time.
