Safety DANGER WARNING CAUTION RECOGNIZE SAFETY American National Standards Institute (ANSI) guidelines are used for INFORMATION safety signal words and symbols. The signal word DANGER or WARNING is used with a safety symbol. DANGER identifies the most The symbols shown in this section are used to identify potential serious hazards.
Safety GROUNDING SAFETY Work lead Attach the work lead securely to the workpiece or the Input power cutting table with good metal-to-metal contact. Do not connect it to • Make sure to connect the power cord ground wire to the ground in the piece that will fall away when the cut is complete.
MACHINE MOTION CAN CAUSE INJURY When an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) makes a cutting system by combining Hypertherm equipment with other equipment, the end-use customer and the OEM are responsible for providing protection against the hazardous moving parts of this cutting system. However, we advise the following to prevent operator injury and equipment damage: •...
Safety COMPRESSED GAS EQUIPMENT GAS CYLINDERS CAN SAFETY EXPLODE IF DAMAGED • Never lubricate cylinder valves or regulators with oil or grease. Gas cylinders contain gas under high pressure. If damaged, a cylinder can explode. • Use only correct gas cylinders, regulators, hoses, and fittings designed for the specific application.
Safety A PLASMA ARC CAN CAUSE INJURY AND BURNS Instant-on torches The plasma arc will cut quickly through gloves and skin. • Keep away from the torch tip. A plasma arc ignites immediately when the torch switch is activated. • Do not hold metal near the cutting path. •...
Safety NOISE CAN DAMAGE HEARING Cutting with a plasma arc can exceed acceptable noise levels as Use ear protectors if the noise is disruptive or if there is a risk of defined by local regulations in many applications. Prolonged exposure hearing damage after all other engineering and administrative to excessive noise can damage hearing.
Safety LASER RADIATION Exposure to the laser beam from a laser pointer can result in serious eye injury. Avoid direct eye exposure. On products that use a laser pointer for alignment, one of the following laser radiation labels has been applied on the product near where the laser beam exits the enclosure.
Countries that require CE marking or have compulsory EMC regulations Certified products are identified by one or more certification test marks must use CE versions of Hypertherm products with the CE marking on from accredited testing laboratories. The certification test marks are the data plate.
When a system integrator adds additional equipment; such as cutting tests prescribed by IEC 60974-4. The repair report shall indicate the tables, motor drives, motion controllers or robots; to a Hypertherm results of all tests unless an indication is made that a particular test has plasma cutting system, the combined system may be considered a not been performed.

Claims for damage during shipment – If your unit was damaged during shipment, you must file a claim with the carrier. Hypertherm will furnish you with a copy of the bill of lading upon request. If you need additional assistance, call Customer Service listed in the front of this manual, or your authorized Hypertherm distributor.
Table manufacturers are responsible for the optimal sizing and performance characteristics of the complete machine. The EDGE Pro Ti can be used in many different configurations but the final performance characteristics of the machine depend on the total solution provided by the table manufacturer.
Mounting the CNC Mounting the CNC Before you connect the EDGE Pro Ti CNC to other system components, mount all the components using the appropriate instructions. Do not allow the system components to lie unsecured on top of cabinets or on the floor.
Mounting hole patterns on the bottom of the CNC The EDGE Pro Ti CNC has 10 mounting holes on the bottom of the enclosure for mounting the CNC to the cutting table. Fasten the mounting screws through the holes that will provide the most stability for your CNC during the operation of your table.
Mounting the THC Mounting the THC Sensor™ Ti THC The EDGE Pro Ti CNC supports one Sensor Ti THC. Mount the Sensor Ti lifter assembly ( ) on the cutting table to 228119 take maximum advantage of the vertical travel range. Typically the bottom of the lifter should be between 15.24 and 20.32 cm (6 and 8 in.) above the cutting table.
Installation Mounting the THC ArcGlide THC The EDGE Pro Ti CNC supports a maximum of 4 ArcGlide THCs. Refer to the ArcGlide THC Instruction Manual (806450) for complete information about installing this THC. EDGE Pro Ti CNC Instruction Manual 807660...

Note: The grounding practices in this section have been used on many installations with excellent results, and Hypertherm recommends that these practices be a routine part of the installation process. The actual methods used to implement these practices may vary from system to system, but should remain as consistent as possible.
Page 44
10. Each Hypertherm component, as well as any other CNC or motor drive cabinet or enclosure, must have a separate ground cable to the common (star) ground on the table. This includes the ignition/gas connect console, whether it is bolted to the plasma system or to the cutting table.
Page 45
14. If you are installing a voltage divider board, mount it as closely as possible to where the arc voltage is sampled. One recommended location is inside the plasma system enclosure. If a Hypertherm voltage divider board is used, the output signal is isolated from all other circuits. The processed signal should be run in twisted shielded cable (Belden 1800F or equivalent).

The E-stop interface must be satisfied to engage the motors. If the E-stop is not satisfied, the motors will not spin. Figure 20 on page 58 shows a possible design for an E-stop circuit, including the circuitry that exists within the EDGE Pro Ti CNC and circuitry using an Allen Bradley safety relay.
The E-stop in Figure 20 uses Hypertherm components; an E-stop switch (428025), safety relay (003239), and reset switch (428026) and uses the EDGE Pro Ti E-stop cable to connect to the safety circuit within the CNC. Other components require a different design.
Figure 21 illustrates this circuit. Figure 20, illustrates an example of an E-stop design that might connect to the safety circuit within the EDGE Pro Ti CNC through the E-stop connector on the rear panel of the CNC.
