Recovering An Incomplete/Failed Cut; Changing Settings During Cutting - Eastwood VERSA-CUT Assembly And Operating Instructions Manual

RECOVERING AN INCOMPLETE/FAILED CUT

If for any reason a cut does not complete, the steps below can be taken to rerun a cut segment. These steps can also be used if a setting must be changed
before continuing to cut, as some settings cannot be changed during a cut. Note that restarting the cut mid segment is never as smooth as a continuous cut; for
best results only stop the machine between cuts.
IF THE INCOMPLETE CUT IS NOTICED BEFORE PROGRAM ENDS
• When you notice the incomplete cut, press the red Stop button. The F1 button will serve as a back button to run G-code segments in reverse.
Pressing it will travel the Torch back to the last cut start point.
• Return to a point prior to the incomplete section and, if you need to, press F2 to run the torch forward without cutting and stop it where the fail starts.
Using F to slow movement speed can be helpful for precise alignment.
• Press the green Start button to restart the cut.
IF THE INCOMPLETE CUT IS NOTICED AFTER PROGRAM FINISHES
• When you notice the incomplete cut after the program has finished, move the Torch back to the start point (0.000, 0.000). Typically, after a program ends
the machine will prompt you asking if you would like to automatically return to start. DO NOT re-zero.
• Use G to switch to Demo Mode. Now press Start and
• Use G again to switch back to Plasma Mode, and press Start.

CHANGING SETTINGS DURING CUTTING

• To alter settings during a cut, the same basic idea is used, but press F3 GoBack and
Make the setting changes and do not re-zero the table.
• Now switch to Demo Mode and run up to the point where the program was stopped and switch back to Plasma Mode to then resume cutting.
