Hypertherm MicroEdge - G97 Loop Count Prompt; ESAB Multi Torch Support; Force G40 Kerf Disable; G40 Used in Simple Shapes

Setups 34
G97 Loop Count Prompt
When Enabled this feature will post a message on the screen to enter the number of loops or repeats
to be selected when an EIA G97 code without a “T” value is encountered in the part program.
ESAB Multi Torch Support
When enabled this feature allows ESAB style ESSI part programs to map codes to specific station
selects.
Mapped
ESSI CODE EIA CODE Description
7 M37 T1 Select Station 1
8 M38 T1 Deselect Station 1
13 M37 T2 Select Station 2
14 M37 T2 Deselect Station 2
15 M37 T3 Select Station 3
16 M38 T3 Deselect Station 3
Force G40 Kerf Disable
In a part program Kerf is enabled and disabled using EIA G41/ G42 and G40 codes. Standard
operation is to disable Kerf at the cut off even if the G40 Kerf Disable is not in a program. With this
parameter, you can select to turn off the “forced” G40 Kerf Disable if no G40 is used in the program
by setting the parameter to a “Disable” state.
G40 Used in Simple Shapes
Used in conjunction with the Force Kerf Disable parameter this allows the G40 code normally inserted
in to a Simple Shape from the control Shape library to be omitted by setting the parameter to a
“Disable” state.
Auto Start after APA
Used with the Automatic Plate Alignment feature, this allows the user to select to automatically begin
cutting after completion of the Automatic Plate Alignment.
EIA Code 2 Decimal Shift
Some programming styles are structured so that the decimal point in the EIA positioning affecting part
sizing is assumed. The EIA Code 2 Decimal Shift parameter allows the operator to select the location
of the decimal point when translating parts by selecting normal or single for correct translation. The
selection should be set to Normal unless your part programs require two decimal shift to the right of
the decimal point.
M17, M18 Used as Cut Codes
This allows the EIA-274D M17 and M18 codes to be used for cut on and off commands when
enabled.
M76 Rotary Shortest Path
When enabled, this allows the EIA-274D M76 Rotate go to Home command to select shortest path.
When disabled it allows motion by longest path when homing. This is advantageous for some bevel
head designs.
