Setups 41
Purge Time
Specifies the time delay from torch ignition until motion is enabled if Arc On Feedback is OFF. Purge
Time should be set to zero if Arc On Feedback is ON.
Pierce Time
Specifies the time delay from when the torch completes lowering until motion is initiated at Creep
Speed. Used to allow the plasma torch to completely pierce the material before moving.
Creep Time
Specifies the amount of time after piercing the part that the torch travels at Creep Speed. Creep
Speed is determined by a setup parameter at the Speeds setup screen and is a percentage of the
programmed cut speed. After the Creep Time is completed, the control accelerates to full cut speed.
Cut Off Time
The Cut Off delay parameter species the amount of time the cut on output will remain on at the end of
a cut. A negative Cut Off time up to one second may be used to terminate the cut output prior to the
end of the cut segment. This is used to compensate for response delays of the cut gases that will
maintain the cut arc and widen the cut path at the end of the cut segment.
