WENTAI
The system will prompt to run WENTAI-based machining program if this key is pressed.
WENTAI is a word machining software for CAD/CAM, widely used in cutting graphic characters
in advertisement business. This feature is required to run a WENTAI-based program.

3.2.6.3-1Machining at rotation angle
This feature is used when the steel plate is not positioned perfectly or the steel plate needs to
rotate an angle before machining. It is allowed to use Rotate function along with BEG. PT. and
END PT. in Manual mode or input the expected angle directly. After acknowledged, the system
will start the machining program at the appointed rotation angle.
Note: Counter clockwise direction is taken as positive angle.
3.2.6.3-2Example
The system is able to identify and calculate the rotation angle by measuring the origin point and
the end point of an edge of steel plate(a straight line). The procedure is as follows:
Determine the datum line. Take one borderline of steel plate as baseline and move the cutting
torch to the origin point of this baseline. Press [F2] to set the beginning point of measurement.
Control the cutting torch and let it move along the baseline to the end point. The larger distance
between the beginning point and the end point, the more accurate of the measurement. Aim
the cutting torch at the baseline and press [F3] to set the end point of measurement.
At this moment, the rotation angle of the datum line is calculated. After the rotate function is
fulfilled, the rotation angle will appear in the OPERATE field, as shown in Fig. 3.2 below.
3.2.6.3-4 [F4] MIRR
It is possible to select X Mirror, Y Mirror and No Mirror if press [F5] key continually. When X Mirror
is selected, the machining program will run along the symmetry direction of X-axis, as appears
inverted horizontally.
When Y Mirror is selected, the machining program will run along the symmetry direction of Y-
axis, as appears inverted vertically. When default No Mirror is selected, the machining program
will run normally.
