When drawing a line (i.e. a segment), each time clicking on
―End Point‖ will confirm a linear node,
while when drawing a tangent arc or a three-point arc, each time clicking on
―End Point‖ or ―Point 3‖
will confirm a circular node.
Tangent arc: two arcs tangent to each other with only one point of intersection.
Three-point arc: confirming an arc through three points.
Take
―3 Points Arc‖ as an example to illustrate the concrete operation and usage:
1) Select
―3 Points Arc‖, and then click ―Start Path‖ to set current XY coordinates as the first point. If
the current point is not the desired one, move XY axes to the desired position before clicking
―Start
Path
‖ in order to set the desired position as the first point.
2) After the first point is set, move XY axes to the next target position, then click
―Point 2‖ to confirm
the second point, then move XY axes to the third target position, and then click
―Point 3‖ to confirm
a three-point arc, meanwhile, point 3 is also the first point of the next arc. Then operate the same
to confirm the second and third point of second, third
…nth arc as confirming the second and third
point of the first arc until clicking
―End Path‖ to complete this path.
3) During drawing, if the user needs to delete the selected point 2, he can click
―Back 1 Point‖. But
when an arc is confirmed after clicking
―Point 3‖, the user has to click ―Back 1 Node‖ to delete the
current third point because now the third point is a node and
―Back 1 Point‖ is invalid. ―Back 1
Node
‖ cancels the third and second drawn point, with the first point remained. To cancel the first
point, the user has to click
―Abandon Path‖.
CAUTION
After “End Path” is clicked, “Abandon Path” becomes ineffective.
After drawing, the user has to click “End Path”, or the drawn path will not be
saved.
Move axes in Jog and Incremental step mode. In Jog mode, jogging speed and rapid jogging speed
can be switched by pressing a number key or combination key (a number key and acceleration key). In
Incremental step mode,
―Stop‖ button is used to stop the currently moving axis.
―Clear Track‖ is used to clean the redundant red trajectory during drawing and keep the useful blue
path trajectory.
[Adjust Light]
This function is used to adjust the laser power in jog and incremental mode to ensure an appropriate
power in cutting.
After the
―Jog‖ is checked and ―Laser‖ is clicked, the plasma port in the machine control bar will open
for a while and then close. But if the
―Jog‘ is not checked, clicking ―Laser‖ leads to continuous laser
output from the plasma port on the right side and clicking it again will stop the output.
