14
The torch failed to retract
to the pierce height after
the arc transfer and after a
reasonable amount of time.
The torch retracts to a
Transfer Height after IHS,
which may be equal to the
pierce height. After ignition
and the arc transfer input
activates, the torch then
retracts to pierce height
if the value is not equal to
transfer height.
The value of the Pierce
Height parameter is set too
high.
Gain settings in the control
module are set incorrectly.
A mechanical bind is
preventing the torch from
retracting after arc transfer.
A mechanical loose
connection in the lifter is
preventing the torch from
retracting to the pierce
height after arc transfer.
Verify that the pierce height is set correctly in the
CNC or in the control module.
Check the lifter for mechanical binding or slipping of
the drive mechanism.
Check the gain settings in the EDGE Pro or in the
control module. See
ArcGlide Setup Parameters
in
the
Installation
section.
Check for other mechanical binds that can be
preventing the lifter from moving properly.
15
Failed to reach the cut
height after motion started
and after AVC delay time
expired.
After pierce delay, the
torch goes to puddle jump
and motion starts. The
torch drops to cut height
after the cut height delay.
At this point the AVC delay
time begins. If the position
of the lifter is not equal
to the cut height after the
AVC delay, motion stops
and the error is posted.
The Cut Height parameter
is set too low or too high.
Gain settings in the control
module are set incorrectly.
A mechanical bind is
preventing the torch from
move to the cut height
position.
A mechanical loose
connection in the lifter is
preventing the torch from
moving to the cut height
position.
Verify that the cut height is set correctly in the CNC
or in the control module.
Check the lifter for mechanical binding or slipping of
the drive mechanism.
Check the gain settings in the EDGE Pro or in the
control module. See
ArcGlide Setup Parameters
in
the
Installation
section. Check for other mechanical
binds that can prevent the lifter from moving properly.
