The following are the Cut Process parameters within the database which are used to configure
the process. Appropriate parameter information is transmitted to the power supply.
Cut Speed
Specifies the speed for the selected process variables.
Kerf
Specifies the amount of kerf (cutter compensation) that will be applied to the current part
program.
Set Arc Voltage
The operator may input the desired Arc Voltage for the material being cut.
Cut Height
The Cut Height setup parameter is used to select the desired cut distance from the plate.
Pierce Height
The Pierce Height setup parameter is used to select the desired Pierce Height. This may be
entered as a multiplication factor that is calculated times the Cut Height or an actual Pierce
Height distance.
Preflow Setting
The appropriate Plasma / Shield Preflow percentages for the desired process may be selected.
Cutflow Settings
The appropriate Plasma / Shield Cutflow percentages for the desired process may be selected.
Preflow Time
Specifies the amount of time the Preflow gases are on.
Purge Time
Specifies the time delay from torch ignition until motion is enabled.
Pierce Time
Specifies the time delay from when torch completes lowering until motion is initiated at Creep
Speed. Used to allow the plasma torch to completely pierce the material before moving.
Creep Time
Specifies the amount of time after piercing the part that the torch travels at Creep Speed. Creep
Speed is determined by a setup parameter at the Speeds setup screen and is a percentage of the
programmed cut speed. After the Creep Time is completed, the control accelerates to full cut
speed.
