15 – Oxyfuel Application

Torch Down During Cut specifies whether the Torch Down output is left on during cutting. This
parameter is can be used with a pneumatic lifter.

Cut Control: Activates the cut oxygen channel, a high pressure oxygen channel for cutting the workpiece.

Timers:

Cut Off Time specifies the number of seconds for the Cut Control output to remain on at the end of
a cut. Allows the torch to finish its cut and removes any lag (a slight angle that is created when the
flame meets metal and bends). Using the Cut Off time provides time for the flame to become
perpendicular before it is turned off.

Cut Control Delay specifies the number of seconds the CNC waits before turning on the Cut
Control output during piercing.

Bleed-off Gas: Controls a valve used to purge gas from the torch.

Timer: Bleed-off Time specifies the number of seconds the torch pauses to purge gas at the end of a cut before
traversing to the next cut. This timer can overlap the Primary Torch Up timer.

Lifter Low Speed: Turns on with the Torch Down and Torch Up numbered I/O and allows a fine jog adjustment when the

torch is near the workpiece. Lifter Low Speed turns off when the Lifter Low Speed time elapses.

Timer: Lifter Low Speed specifies the number of seconds for the Lifter Low Speed output to be on. The value for
this timer should be less than the value for the Primary Torch Up Time and Primary Torch Down Time values.

Setting up oxyfuel

1. In the Special Setups screen (Setups > Password > Special Setups) select Oxyfuel as a Tool Installed.

This selection activates oxyfuel as a Cut Mode, and activates the Oxyfuel Process screen and the Oxyfuel Cut Chart.

2. In the I/O screen (Setups > Password > Machine Setups > I/O), assign the inputs and outputs for your oxyfuel

cutting system.

The I/O assignments for the system depend on the number of oxyfuel torches and whether the CNC will be operating
all the torches independently. Use the numbered I/O to operate each oxyfuel torch independently. Assign Station
Select inputs if numbered I/O are used, one input for each station.

Note: If the system does not use ignitors to light the oxyfuel torches, do not assign the Ignition output.

3. In the Oxyfuel Process screen, enter timer values for all preheats, piercing, creeping, and torch up/down movement.

(Setups > Process > Oxyfuel).

Select Yes to Ignitors if you will use the Ignitor output at every pierce point. If you will be using the Manual Ignition
Select input to ignite all torches, select No to Ignitors.
