PROGRAMMING SHAPES OPERATION
When power is turned “ON”, the position of the torch becomes the reference START position.
There are three options (the hand held pendant is not needed for the first two):
1. MOVE
To change the start position, push the STOP / PAUSE button, move the machine
manually to the desired START position using the MANUAL JOG switch, and push the
RESET button.
2. RUN
Push the START / RESUME button to cut a shape.
3. PROGRAM (entry or change)
The programming operation is selected by pressing the alpha keys A, B, C, D, and E.
A: All segments, data entry for a new shape consists of the total number of
segments.
Data for each: Type
(arc, X/Y line or slope)
Quadrant
1-4
Size
(radius, or X/Y dimension)
NOTE: See writing a shape program for more details.
For example, a 2" (51 mm) diameter circle could be four segments:
1. 2, 1, 100 Counter-clockwise arc, quadrant 1, 1.00 inch radius
2. 2, 2, 100 Counter-clockwise arc, quadrant 2, 1.00 inch radius
3. 2, 3, 100 Counter-clockwise arc, quadrant 3, 1.00 inch radius
4. 2, 4, 100 Counter-clockwise arc, quadrant 4, 1.00 inch radius
The data should be tabulated on paper from a diagram before entering.
B: PROGRAM Segment
Press “B” on the pendant keypad to reprogram a single segment. This is useful if
there is an error in data for just one segment, so the whole shape does not have to
be re-entered.
C: CHANGE Shape number
Press “C” on the pendant keypad to change the current shape number, and enter
the desired number at the prompt. The program switches to the new number in
memory, and to whatever shape is stored in that memory location.
D: DISPLAY Shape Data
Press “D” on the pendant keypad to display the data for the current shape.
The pendant display shows the total number of segments, and data for each
segment one by one each time you press ENTER.
E: END of Segment Slowdown
IN THE SHAPE PROGRAM, FOR THE FIRST CUT OF A GIVEN DIAMETER,
THE PIPE DIAMETER MUST BE ENTERED. Press “E” on the pendant keypad,
the display will prompt for the pipe diameter, and then the Slowdown value.
