Pierce Control Manual/Automatic
Allows the user to select Manual or Automatic Pierce control. Automatic control uses sensors in
the Laser head to detect when the pierce is complete. Manual mode uses a preset pierce time
and preset laser program. Automatic mode dynamically controls laser duty cycle.
Pierce Mode Pulse/Blast
When Automatic Pierce is selected the user can select to use a definable pulse output or a single
Blast.
Pierce Complete
The Automatic Pierce monitors the voltage of sensors in the laser head and compares them to
the value set by this parameter to detect the completion of the pierce.
Next Pulse
Based on sensors in the laser head, the system can determine when the next Laser Pulse is
delivered during Automatic Pierce control. The voltage is derived from the feedback of the
sensors in the laser cutting head.
Cut Chart
A cut chart database allows the user to select factory recommended settings or amend the
database for personalized settings. The Cut Chart information can be saved or loaded via the
hard drive, floppy drive or USB memory stick. The Cut Chart files contain the factory
recommended settings that are available from Hypertherm
