The Kerf Variable / Kerf Offset parameter is used to create a Kerf Variable table which assigns a
reference number (variable) to a Kerf value. Up to 200 variables may be entered to create a
reference table.
This Kerf Variable can then be used within a part program to define the kerf value when cutting. The
advantage to this is that as torch parts wear, the kerf value changes. If the Kerf Variable value is
updated as the consumable wears and changes, the new value will be called by the Kerf Variable
command with all programs loaded that use the variable.
The EIA-274D part code for left kerf variable is the G43 code.
Example: G43 D1 X0.06

Marker Offsets 1 - 12
Enter in values for up to twelve programmable marker offsets. The machine is offset by this amount at
maximum speed when the appropriate marker code is detected.
THC Voltage Offset
The THC Voltage Offset parameter is used to offset the individual Sensor THC™ Arc Voltages from
the master set Arc Voltage. This allows the individual THCs to be adjusted to compensate for
consumable wear and obtain optimum cut quality.
Marker On Time (Type “B” Configuration Only)
This parameter allows the operator to insert a time delay, which allows the marker to prepare for
operation prior to the start of Marker motion.
Marker Off Time (Type “B” Configuration Only)
This parameter allows the operator to insert a time delay, which allows the marker to complete
operation at the end of Marker motion.
