Setups 32
This Kerf Variable can then be used within a part program to define the kerf value when cutting. The
advantage to this is that as torch parts wear, the kerf value changes. If the Kerf Variable value is
updated as the consumable wears and changes, the new value will be called by the Kerf Variable
command with all programs loaded that use the variable.
The EIA-274D part code for left kerf variable is the G43 code.
Example: G43 D1 X0.06
Kerf Variable Setting
Kerf Variable
A number from 1-200 may be used
Kerf Data
The selected kerf value
Trial/Cut Speed
Specifies the speed for the current cut mode. These speeds are saved independently for trialing and
cutting. Both speeds will be limited to the maximum machine speed. Cut and Trial speeds may be
executed at the embedded F-code speed within a part program.
Marker 1 / Marker 2 Speed
Specifies the speed for the selected Marker. These speeds are saved independently for each Marker
and are executed through the marker tool selection within a part program. Marker 1 is activated by
EIA RS-274D M09 and M10, or an ESSI 9 and 10. Marker 2 is activated by EIA RS-274D M013 and
M14, or an ESSI 13 and 14.
Plate Size
Specifies the dimensions of the current plate being cut. This dimension is used when loading a part
to determine if it will fit on the plate. It is also used for viewing the part in Screen View.
Vent Controls 1 - 50
Enter in values for up to fifty programmable zones for fume extraction damper control. Based on the
machine position the vent control outputs to activate dampers at the selected zone for increased
performance.
Marker Offsets 1 - 12
Enter in values for up to twelve programmable marker offsets. The machine is offset by this amount at
maximum speed when the appropriate marker code is detected.
Dwell Time
Specifies the amount of dwell (delay) to be inserted into the current part program when an
appropriate RS-274D program block is reached. This time can be overridden in the part program.
For example in EIA programming a G04 X3 will cause a three second dwell to be inserted at the
current program block. A G04 with no X-code will insert a dwell with the current Dwell Time
parameter.
