Page 44: Performing Your First Test Cut
Performing Your First Test Cut There are multiple test files preloaded on the computer of the LINC-CUT S 1020w-1530w for testing and cut ® quality purposes. The LINES SPEED TEST and SIMPLE TEST CUT tests are provided to help determine the appropriate cutting speed in inches per minute (IPM) to cut the plate thickness with the current value that you have set on the power source. -
Page 45: Maintenance
Maintenance Like all machinery, this machine requires maintenance. This part covers daily, monthly, and ‘as needed’ tasks to keep your LINC-CUT S 1020w-1530w running like new. ® Daily maintenance Plasma power supply: The plasma power supply and torch body must be inspected between material thickness measurements and prior to cutting. -
Page 46: Monthly Maintenance
Machine: The torch impact safety system (breakaway) assembly contains two magnets and three notches that must cleared of any dross build-up, as it could move the torch support sufficiently far from the sensor to set off the torch impact safety system. Move the machine to the reference position and separate the torch support by pulling the torch down to the left or right. -
