Process Setup:

The process setup tab is used to enter the material

you are planning to cut. Once entered, it will update

the cut parameters to the cut chart parameters.

•

Process Cutting -

Determines the mode of

the loaded job. Plasma, Marking, or Grid
(Expanded)

•

Thickness -

Material thickness.

•

Material -

Type of material being cut. Mild

Steel, Aluminum, or Stainless Steel/H17

•

Current -

Amperage used to cut the

material.

Once entered, the appropriate consumables and part

numbers will display and auto-fill the Cut Parameters

to the appropriate settings.

Cut Parameters:

All the parameters in the Cut Parameters and AVHC tab set

the torch in proper position in relation to the material during

operation. Most of the parameters can be found in your FlexCut

manual under Cut Charts.

•

Transfer Height -

Distance the torch will retract off the

material to initiate a pilot arc, prior to moving up to the
pierce height.

•

Pierce Height -

Distance the head sits above the material

during piercing.

•

Cut Height -

Distance between the torch tip and top of

material during cutting.

•

Pierce Delay -

The time delay for the torch to pierce

through the material before executing movement.

•

Retract Height -

Distance the head will retract off the

material during rapid travels when moving in between
cuts in a job.

•

Arc Voltage -

Voltage feedback comparison value. If using

sample voltage this will adjust during cutting.

•

Feedrate -

Displays/sets to the optimal feedrate in the cut

charts for the thickness of material and amperage set.

The main view screen of the VMD hosts tabs that control and display the job and the corresponding settings for cutting the

material. The tabs at the top of the screen gives the operator different views and controls for the job planning to be cut.
