4.1 Set Up
Select an appropriate condition from the process data (SDP File) and install recommended torch front-•
end parts (nozzle, electrode, etc.) See process data to identify parts and settings.
Position torch over material at desired start location. •
See Power Source Manual for proper settings. •
See Flow Control Manual for gas control procedures. •
See Control and Machine Manuals for startup procedures. •
4.1.1 Mirror Cutting
When mirror cutting, a reverse swirl gas bae and reverse diuser are required. These reverse parts will “spin”
the gas in the opposite direction, reversing the “good” side of the cut.
4.2 Cut Quality
A. Introduction
Causes aecting cut quality are interdependent. Changing one variable aects all others. Determining a solu-
tion may be dicult. The following guide oers possible solutions to dierent undesirable cutting results. To
begin select the most prominent condition:
4.2.2 Cut Angle, negative or positive
4.2.3 Cut Flatness
4.2.4 Surface nish
4.2.5 Dross
4.2.6 Dimensional Accuracy
Usually the recommended cutting parameters will give optimal cut quality, occasionally conditions may vary
enough that slight adjustments will be required. If so:
Make small incremental adjustments when making corrections.•
Adjust Arc Voltage in 5 volt increments, up or down as required.•
Adjust cutting speed 5% or less as required until conditions improve.•
