3.14.5 Cutting Parameter Delays
NOTE!
Parameter windows may alternate based on the machine setup. If a delay is not shown
it is set as hidden. Delays can also be locked so that editing the time value is not pos-
sible . See installation/service manual about setting delays.
Pictures for reference only.
SD1 is generally not used but is fully programmable.
SD2 provides a time for igniting the torch. The ignition output is activated for this user selectable time. After time has elapsed the igniter
will turn off. To override the feature in the event that the machine is not equipped with auto ignition, set timer value for SD2 to zero.
SD3 is generally used for a high preheat timer and turning capacitive height sensing ON. This determines the time allocated for pre-
heating the material before piercing. The time is user defined based on the type of material and thickness. The thicker the material,
the higher the timer value. To override the feature in the event that the machine is not equipped with auto high preheat, set timer value
for SD3 to zero.
SD4 is generally used for Cut Oxygen. This determines the time allocated for heating the material with cutting oxygen, normally with
thicker materials. This is best used with the pierce Up/Down function (See below).To override the feature in the event that the machine
does not need extra pierce with cutting oxygen, set timer value for SD4 to zero.
Pierce up/down event timing: Activating the feature.
1. START: Select the start delay at which the timing is to begin execution, eg. SD4.
2. PIERCING UP: Enter the desired time to raise the torch for piercing.
3. STAY UP: Enter the desired time to stay up before the pierce lowering time begins.
4. PIERCING DOWN: Enter the desired time to lower the torch to the cutting height.
NOTE!
The piercing up and piercing down timer values are usually set to equal amounts as
not to create a ramping or stepping effect. This is also true with the primary raise and
lowering of the torch when no automatic capacitive height sensor is installed.
