Teach/Trace
• Smart-arc and Smart-Line algorithms for optimum program size and contouring
smoothness.
• Converts your existing optical tracer templates to EIA RS-274D programs, and stored on
the internal hard disk drive.
• Automatic part closure detection.
• Allows multiple pierce points, lead-ins, lead-outs, and rapid traverse segments.
• Upload taught part programs to CAD system, remote host computer, or other storage
device.
• Requires a separate optical tracer control system.
Performance Features
• Digital servo positioning control for any cutting machine. An optional SERCOS Interface
allows expansion of motion axes and distributed I/O.
• Control dynamic accuracy of 0.002 inch (0.051 mm) with 1000 edge/inch encoders.
• Programmable cut speeds up to 3000 IPM (76,200 mmpm).
• Variable segment length look-ahead for optimum contouring performance.
• Automatic corner slowdown and torch height disable for clean, sharp corners.
• Speed Increase/Decrease buttons for optimizing machine cut speed.
• Automatic Plate and Corner Alignment corrects for skewed plates.
• Complete cut-loss recovery with backup and forward along path, off-path re-pierce and
return-to-path, and move pattern functions.
• Rip Mode for straight-line cutting. Jog control cutting.
• Punch, powder or Plasma marker capability.
• Manual jog control with position read-out for positioning torches.
• Nester™ and optional HyperNest
® – CNC Automatic Nesting features for increased
productivity and increased plate utilization.
• Automated Torch Spacing feature to position torch station spacing automatically through
the part program for standard and mirrored multi-torch cutting.
• Rush Job Interrupt and Automated Power Loss Recovery features.
Installation and Setup Features
• Selectable axis orientation for compatibility with all cutting machines.
• Built in oxy-fuel interface with programmable pre-heat time, ignition, and creep speed.
• Built in plasma interface with programmable purge time, ignition time, arc-off delay time,
and arc-transferred feedback.
• Built in Laser interface with programmable shutter time, power ramp time and pierce time.
• Built in Water Jet interface with programmable abrasive output and pierce time.
