Assigning a serial port
After connecting the CNC to the waterjet pump, assign the serial port to the pump.
1. Choose Setups > Password > Machine Setups > Ports.
2. Choose HyPrecision from the drop down list.
3. Choose the CNC serial port number to which you have connected the waterjet pump. The serial port numbers are
marked on the back of the CNC.
Sequence of operations
Hypertherm CNCs execute the waterjet cut sequence in these basic steps.
1. The operator enables a station on the CNC to turn on the pump. For example, on the EDGE Pro CNC, moving the
Station 1 switch to either the ON or PROGRAM position enables the station.
2. The operator presses Start to begin executing the part program. When the CNC executes the M07 code (Cut On) in
the part program, the CNC turns on the Cut Control output signal which activates the solenoid valve in the cutting
head and starts water flow to the cutting head.
3. When the CNC executes the M07 command, it also turns on the Abrasive Control output (unless you have set an
Abrasive On Delay timer). The Abrasive Control output connects to a solenoid valve on the abrasive regulator.
4. Motion starts after the CNC runs the Abrasive On Delay and Pierce Motion Delay timers. These timers ensure the
water and abrasive flow are both stabilized at the cutting head.
