In particular, high-strength steel and steel with a high manganese or silicon content can reduce the maximum pierce capability. Hypertherm calculates mild steel pierce parameters with certified A-36 plate. • I f the system has difficulty piercing a specific material or thickness, increasing the shield preflow pressure can help in some cases.
  • Page 132: Cut Charts

    Recommendations Hypertherm develops stainless steel processes using SAE grade 304L. When cutting other grades of stainless steel, you may need to adjust the cut chart parameters to obtain optimal cut quality. In order to reduce the amount of dross, the first recommended adjustment is to adjust the cut speed.

    Maintenance Introduction Hypertherm assumes that the service personnel performing the troubleshooting testing are high-level electronic service technicians who have worked with high-voltage electromechanical systems. Knowledge of final isolation troubleshooting techniques is also assumed. In addition to being technically qualified, maintenance personnel must perform all testing with safety in mind.
  • Page 218: System Description

    Maintenance System description Power and signal cables Interface cable: Turns on the secondary power supply. CAN Bus signal cable: Provides process and status signals between the primary and the secondary power supplies. Power cable: Provides 120 VAC to the selection console. CAN Bus signal cable: Provides process and status signals between the primary power supply and the selection console.

  • Page 220: Gas System Purge Cycle

    Maintenance gas system purge cycle When the system is turned on, or the operator changes from one cut process to another, the system automatically goes through a purge cycle. The purge cycle has 2 stages; a preflow purge and a cutflow purge. The preflow purge gas flows for 8 seconds with an auto gas console, or 12 seconds with a manual gas console.
