If your cutting system has an OptiMix or VWI gas connect console, a process-setup purge automatically
follows the gas-change purge and includes preflow and cutflow purges.
If you have a CorePlus or Core gas connect console, only the process-setup purge occurs. There is no
gas-change purge.
The type of process gas that is selected for a process-setup purge aligns with the operator-selected
process.
Process selection
All of the cutting processes have a process ID that is a unique identification number. Each process ID
aligns with a set of preprogrammed values in the cut chart database in the plasma power supply control
PCB.
Processes in the database can be selected by these categories:
■
Metal type and thickness
■
Cutting current
■
Plasma and shield gas types
■
Process category
When you select a process ID from the CNC or from the Operate screen in the XPR web interface, the
cutting system automatically starts the preprogrammed settings for that process using the values in the
database.
Controls on the screen let you select, monitor, and control processes directly from the CNC or from the
Operate screen in the XPR web interface.
Manual selection of settings is not necessary in most conditions. However, you can adjust some
preprogrammed settings with override or offset commands, within limits. Refer to Process ID offsets /
overrides on page 232.
Use process IDs for optimal settings
To automatically get recommended settings, select the process ID for the process that aligns with your
cutting application.
When you select a process ID from the CNC or from the XPR web interface, you automatically get the
optimized settings that Hypertherm recommends for that process.
The preprogrammed settings come from extensive Hypertherm laboratory tests. Because of differences in
cutting systems, metals, and consumables, it can be necessary to adjust the settings. However, in most
