bevel cutting
cut charts
The bevel cut charts are slightly different from the standard cut charts. The torch-to-work distance is a range rather than
a single value, material thickness is given as an equivalent value, a column for minimum clearance has been added, and
there is no column for arc voltage.
Equivalent thicknesses and the arc voltages will vary depending on the angle of the cut. The angle for bevel cutting can
range from 0° to 45°.
consumables
Bevel cutting processes use separate sets of consumables that are specially designed for bevel applications. These
consumables have been optimized for PowerPierce™, which uses the tapered design to increase pierce capabilities.
See the Parts list for mirror-image consumable part numbers.
bevel compensation tables
Customers using bevel heads with an HPRXD plasma-cutting system are now able to use dynamic cut charts (or
compensation tables) with compatible CNC and nesting software to achieve more accurate bevel cutting results with
mild steel. These specialized cut charts enable operators to retrieve bevel cut settings that are specially tailored for
making V cuts, A cuts, and Y Top cuts.
The bevel compensation tables require an HPRXD plasma-cutting system and are intended to be used for cutting mild
steel. While these tables are built into Hypertherm’s CNC software and nesting software, the information is available
to all HPRXD customers and can be used with other compatible CNCs and nesting software programs. For technical
details on how to use these compensation tables for mild steel bevel cutting, refer to the HPRXD Bevel Compensation
Cut Charts white paper (part number 807830), which can be found in the “Downloads library” on the Hypertherm
website at www.hypertherm.com.
