Section 15
Oxyfuel Application
This section describes the operation, layout, and setup of a sample oxyfuel cutting system. Because of the variation
between cutting systems, Hypertherm CNCs provide built-in flexibility for multiple methods of system setup, operation,
and part programming. Since all cases cannot be described here, this section makes the following assumptions:
 The cutting operations are being controlled by the CNC, not by a PLC or other external logic.
 The cutting system supports both low preheat and high preheat fuel gas channels.
 The CNC supports either the Hypath or SERCOS interface to provide sufficient I/O for the oxyfuel application.
In this section you will find:
 An overview of how the CNC executes the oxyfuel process
 An illustration of a sample two-torch system
 Station setup for oxyfuel
 A detailed, step-by-step description of the oxyfuel cut sequence
 Definitions of the inputs and outputs used for oxyfuel cutting systems, and a ladder logic diagram showing the I/O
 Oxyfuel setup instructions for the CNC
 Advanced features for oxyfuel cutting (analog outputs for gas control, process overrides, and staged pierce function)
Oxyfuel part programs can use process selection variables to load the cut chart. However, oxyfuel cut charts are not
supported in the Cut Pro Wizard. For more information about oxyfuel process selection variables, see the
Phoenix
Software V9 Series Programmer’s Reference (806420).
For more information on generic, numbered, and station I/O, see Chapter 4 Station Setup.
