  • Page 100: Remote Mode

    OPERATION • At CNC controller, set cutting current, arc voltage, travel speed, initial pierce height and pierce delay time according to cut charts. • The system is now ready for cutting. Note: If the system has been powered up, but not in use for a while, purge the gas lines by positioning the Test Preflow/Run/Test Cut Flow switch (S2) to Test Cut Flow for 5 seconds and then to Test Preflow for 5 seconds.
  • Page 101: Changing Consumable Parts

    OPERATION • Selects the BCD code for the set- point (0 - 100%) to be set on the nine GAS FLOW SET lines. These signals should be pulled low (common) to make them active. • Pulls WRITE line low (common) and wait for return of a READ COMPLETE signal. This process should occur in under 100 milliseconds.

  • Page 106: How To Optimize Cut Quality

    Maximize the Life of Consumable Parts ® Hypertherm’s LongLife process automatically “ramps up” the gas and current flows at the start and ramps them down at the end of each cut, to minimize erosion of the electrode’s center surface. The LongLife process also requires that cuts start and stop on the workpiece.
  • Page 107: Additional Factors Of Cut Quality

    OPERATION Additional Factors of Cut Quality Cut Angle A cut part whose 4 sides average less than 4° of cut angle is considered acceptable. Note: The squarest cut angle will be on the right side with respect to the forward motion of the torch. Note: To determine whether a cut-angle problem is being caused by the plasma system or the drive system, make a test cut and measure the angle of each side.
  • Page 108: Additional Improvements

    OPERATION Straightness of the Cut Surface A typical plasma cut surface is slightly concave. The cut surface may become more concave, or convex. Correct torch height is required to keep the cut surface acceptably close to straight. A strongly concave cut surface occurs when the torch-to-work distance is too low.

    Appendix G SYSTEM GROUNDING System Grounding Requirements The plasma system must be grounded for safety reasons and to suppress EMI: • Safety The entire system – power supply, accessory enclosures, and worktable – must be grounded to protect it and the operator from a ground fault. The protective earth (PE) ground connections must be installed by a licensed electrician and conform to national or local codes.
  • Page 279: Work Table Grounding

    The customer must furnish all conductors for equipment grounding. Grounding conductors may be purchased through Hypertherm in any length specified by the customer (Part No. 047058). The conductor may also be purchased locally, using a minimum 8 AWG UL Type MTW cable (USA specification) or the appropriate cable specified by national and local codes.
