15 – Oxyfuel Application
Oxyfuel overview
Hypertherm CNCs provide an oxyfuel process that controls fuel gas, pierce-oxygen, and cut-oxygen in several stages.
These stages activate outputs to run an oxyfuel cutting system. The CNC executes the oxyfuel cut sequence in this order
for each cut. The stages are controlled with timers set on the Oxyfuel Process screen.
Note: The Preheat Control output is for use in a system where a low preheat fuel gas channel is not available and
one output controls the preheat fuel gas. Use Preheat Control instead of High Preheat Control in this type of
system. See
Low preheat fuel gas options later in this section for more information.
Stage Output Definition
Cycle Start None Starts the oxyfuel sequence. Upon cycle start, the
torch moves to the first pierce point in the part
program.
Ignite torch. Torch Ignition Operates an igniter circuit used to ignite the torch.
Preheat the workpiece. Low Preheat Control Turns on the low pressure fuel gas used to ignite
the torch.
High Preheat Control Turns on the high pressure fuel gas used to preheat
the workpiece and assist in cutting.
Pierce the workpiece. Pierce Control Turns on the pierce oxygen, a low pressure oxygen
channel that accelerates the preheat process.
Cut the workpiece. Cut Control Turns on the cut oxygen, a high pressure oxygen
channel for cutting the workpiece.
