Cut Charts
The Cut Chart Database contains the cut process parameters that the CNC transmits to the power supply.
Each cut chart is based on the following process variables:
• Torch type
• Material type
• Specific material
• Process current
• Plasma/shield Gas
• Material thickness
Depending on the power supply that you have selected, there may be other basic parameters, as well.
The default cut charts that are loaded into the system at the factory, provide values for all remaining
parameters for the cut chart and these are displayed on the right of the Cut Chart screen. You can edit
the values for these parameters and save them in an edited cut chart. The default cut charts are
distinguished by their .fac file extension. Files that you or other users edit have a .usr file extension.
Torch Type
Select a torch for your power supply.
