In the U.S., use a “lock-out/tag-out” procedure until installation is complete. In other countries, follow appropriate national and local safety procedures. 1.
Premixed coolant for standard operating temperatures Use Hypertherm premixed coolant (028872) when operating in an ambient temperature range of -12° C to 40° C (10° F to 104° F), and when operating at chiller process temperatures of 4° C to 35° C (59° F to 95° F). Refer to the custom coolant mix recommendations, if temperatures during operation are ever outside of this range.
Use the chart below to determine what percentage of propylene glycol to use in the mixture. Mix 100% glycol (028873) with the premixed Hypertherm coolant (028872) to increase the percentage of glycol. The 100% glycol solution can also be mixed with purifi ed water (see the chart below for water purity requirements) to achieve the required protection from freezing.
InstallatIon custom coolant mix for hot operating temperatures custom coolant mix for hot operating temperatures (above 38° c / 100° F) Treated water (with no propylene glycol) can only be used as coolant when ambient temperatures are never water purity requirements below 0° C (32° F), and chiller process temperatures are never below 14° C (57° F).
InstallatIon Fill the chiller with coolant See the chiller operators manual for details caution: the first time the chiller is operated it should be run overnight in the standby mode. the compressor crankcase heater will boil off any refrigerant absorbed in the compressor oil. caution: Do not turn oN the power to the controller until the chiller reservoir has been filled.

Follow carefully each step in the Daily start-up procedure described earlier in this section. Purge the gas lines before cutting. 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.
OperatiOn Additional factors of cut quality Additional factors of cut quality cut angle 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 130
OperatiOn Dross Low-speed dross forms when the torch’s cutting speed is too slow and the arc shoots ahead. It forms as a heavy, bubbly deposit at the bottom of the cut and can be removed easily. Increase the speed to reduce the dross. High-speed dross forms when the cutting speed is too fast and the arc lags behind.
4 seconds to keep the arc transferred to the plate. • D ifferent material chemistries can have an adverse effect on the pierce capability of the system. 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.
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.
While the parameters for this moving pierce process 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.

OperatiOn wARNINg the “rooster tail” of molten material and hot gases produced by this moving pierce technique can result in injury, fire, and damage to equipment if appropriate precautions are not taken. you may be required to use guards to protect operators and to prevent the molten metal from reaching any flammable materials.
Hypertherm has developed the following processes specifically for cutting mild steel in the 3 mm to 25 mm (0.135 to 1 inch) range of thicknesses. These cut chart settings offer a set of optimal parameters for each thickness and are designed to achieve: • Minimum angle deviation...
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.
OperatiOn bevel cutting definitions Bevel angle The angle between the center line of the torch and a line that is perpendicular to the workpiece. If the torch is perpendicular to the workpiece, the bevel angle is zero. The maximum bevel angle is 45°. Nominal thickness The vertical thickness of the workpiece.
OperatiOn cutting thick material There are several important Factors to consider when cutting material that is 100 mm (4 in.) thick or greater: • Torch position: The torch should be positioned just beyond the edge of the plate for best results in attaching the arc to the full edge of the plate • Motion delay: Provide sufficient motion delay to allow the arc and molten material to extend down the majority of the cut edge prior to beginning torch motion...
Hypertherm has developed underwater cut charts for 80 A, 130 A, 200 A, 260 A, and 400 A mild steel processes. These underwater cut charts are designed to produce optimal results for cutting mild steel up to 75 mm (3 inches) below the surface of the water.
