What settings should I choose?
Pierce routine
▪ To pierce a hole and do a rapid move in the shortest path possible to the next hole, select Hole
to hole. (Recommended)
▪ To follow the path as it travels from hole-to-hole, select Follow the path. (Recommended only if
you have to avoid fixtures.)
Vacuum control
▪ To keep the vacuum on throughout the pierce routine, select Remain on. (Recommended)
▪ To turn the vacuum on/off at the end of the jet cycle, select Turn on/off every jet cycle. (Not
recommended. Pinch valve tubing life and overall reliability of the device will decrease.)
ON procedure
Recommended starting point for each dwell:
After vacuum on
1.5 seconds, and then increase as needed based on the length of the abrasive feed line.
After abrasive on
1.5 seconds, and then increase as needed based on the length of the abrasive feed line. Too
short of a dwell could damage the material's top surface. Too long of a dwell pulls too
much abrasive through the eductor.
After jet on
0.5 seconds
OFF procedure
Recommended starting point for each dwell:
After abrasive off
1.5 seconds, and then increase as needed based on the length of the abrasive feed line.
After jet off
3 seconds
After vacuum off
0.1 seconds
