DATA REQUIRED,
(Saddle Cuts, Offset Cuts, Laterals, and Miters)
TYPE 1: Requires A. Small diameter (pipe being cut)
B. Large diameter (pipe it fits on)
TYPE 2: Requires A. Small diameter
B. Large diameter
C. Offset distance between centerlines
TYPE 3: Requires A. Small diameter
B. Large diameter
C. Offset distance
D. Angle between pipes
TYPE 4: Requires A. Small diameter
B. Cutback distance
C. Angle of miter cut
TYPE 5: Requires A. Small diameter (branch pipe)
B. Large diameter (pipe being cut)
C. Angle
For plasma cutting, a value for the time delay is also required to allow for the delay in striking the arc. A
commonly used delay is 3 seconds (enter 300 on the pendant keypad).
When entering diameters, use the diameter of the surface along whose intersection the cut has to be
made. Usually they will be the inside diameter of the pipe being cut, and the outside diameter of the pipe
it fits on. This will also allow for any bevel, if necessary.
In TYPE 4 miter cut, cutback refers to the distance on the centerline when making two cuts opposed to
each other, for the middle piece of an elbow. If only one cut is to be made, enter 0 or just press RETURN
for cutback.
NOTE: If the STOP / RESUME button is pressed, the machine will be in pause mode, and cannot
be programmed. Press the reset button to get back to the ready mode for programming.
