10.1. FAQ’s Operating the system
Q: How do you continue operation after a cutting stoppage during automatic cutting?
A: The following functions can be used after cutting is stopped in the automatic mode:
[STOP] key: The system will stop. The program can be continued immediately by pressing [START]
key. If necessary, use the arrow keys [↑] [↓] [←] [→] to adjust the torch position. When the torch is
located at required position, press the [START] key to continue cutting.
Use the [F↑] [F↓] keys to adjust the speed up or down, by 1% for each button press.
Use the [S↑] [S↓] keys to move the torch up or down.
Q: How do you restart a cut if the plate did not pierce?
A: The system can be sent back to the origin if this happens. Press the [STOP] key to stop system
motion, then press the [F6] key to move backwards on path. The torch will move backwards
on path until it reaches the pierce point. You may then re-start the cutting process and press
the [START] key to begin cutting again.
Q: If the power is lost during cutting, or some other interruption causes the program to be
abandoned, can the un-finished program be recovered?
A: Yes, the operator can use RESUME function to finish cutting a parked program:
1. If the program has been stopped and abandoned manually, follow the procedures in section
Resuming Parked Programs.
If there is a loss of power while cutting, the program can easily be recovered as long as the machine
is not moved while power is off. Follow the procedures in section Resuming Parked Programs, but
be sure to select the option 3) RELOCATE PATH, so that the program will continue from the current
system position.
Q: Why can some part program files not be read by the CNC after they are copied to the
USB stick using Windows Explorer?
A: If using the file type extension “.MPG”, Windows can include meta-data in the file or on the
disk. It is suggested that files only use the file type extensions “. CNC” or “.TXT” in order to
avoid problems.
