Torch Alignment Guide for Bevel Cutting
Use the torch alignment guide to put the torch in position for bevel cutting
This procedure gives general instructions for any track burner. The pictures show one example from
a common track burner. Your configuration can be different.
Hypertherm recommends that you use a track burner that is compatible with plasma cutting so that
you can get the best bevel cut results at the specified cut speeds. Use a remote start pendant for
the plasma cutting system if the track burner cannot start and stop the plasma torch.
1. Set the power to OFF (O) for the track burner and the plasma power supply.
2. Select the parameters to use for the metal thickness and the correct bevel cut angle. Use the
Powermax125 and MAXPRO200
3. Put the torch alignment guide
on the workpiece to be cut.
Put the track
it is touching the guide.
4. Examine both ends of the
track and different points in
between to make sure that
the track is touching the end
of the alignment guide. Also
make sure that the track is
parallel to the edge of the
plate.
5. When the track and the torch
alignment guide are in
position, engage the locking
mechanism on the track to
attach the track to the
workpiece. This mechanism is
different on different tracks.
Some tracks use magnets
as the locking mechanism, as
shown in this example.
6. Attach the track burner
tractor to the track. Connect
the cables for the track
burner and for the plasma
power supply. Refer to the
manufacturer instructions for
each system.
7. Adjust the X-axis arm to be approximately in the center of the tractor. Use the horizontal racker
control knob or equivalent control on your tractor.
