15 – Oxyfuel Application
Staged pierce for oxyfuel cutting
Staged pierce increases the oxygen pressure while piercing and helps the torch penetrate the material more quickly. It is
also a moving pierce that replaces the stationary pierce. During the staged pierce, the CNC begins moving at the creep
speed as it performs the pierce.
Staged pierce requires four outputs called Staged Pierce 1 – 4. The outputs can control four separate oxygen regulators
or one proportional regulator. On the oxyfuel process screen, you can select one of three modes for the staged pierce.
Each mode activates the staged pierce outputs in a different order. You can enter the duration for each output to be
activated.
 Staged Pierce Time 1 controls Staged Pierce 1 output.
 Staged Pierce Time 2 controls Staged Pierce 2 output.
 Staged Pierce Time 3 controls Staged Pierce 3 output.
 Staged Pierce 4 activates after Staged Pierce Time 3 elapses.
