Stinger Description
1.1. What is Snger?
Stinger is a bench structure automac CNC cuer, specially designed for various plate cung with the
following specialies:
1. Fast assembling and easy plate loading mechanical design;
2. Split structure: gantry frame and water table can be ordered separately;
3. Adaptable THC and water table design for dierent thickness cung needs;
4. Quick-react computer numerical control;
5. Advanced technology assures high precise & stably fast cung performance;
6. High eciency CNC system for both me and money;
With the help of our nesng soware, various fast auto nesng, high accurate drawing, or any shape
proling can be achieved eciently by Stinger.
1.2. Applicaon
Stinger is an ideal CNC Plate Cung Machine widely used in industry eld, such as shipbuilding indus-
try, metallurgic industry, petrochemical industry and water resources & electric power. It can cut vari-
ous metal plates in seconds, for instance: carbon steel (ame cung), stainless steel, copper and alu-
minum (plasma cung).
1.3. Programming and Nesng
Using ARCBRO plate nesng soware, you can edit and do the nesng process for your paern de-
signed by CAD, then generate a G-code cung le in txt format. This txt cung le can be recognized
and carried out by our CNC system when you import it by a USB drive.Now, running Stinger , you can
achieve accurate proling of this paern automacally.

Safety Information
Informaon for your safety
The operator must read and understand the contents of this user’s manual before any operaon on
Snger.
Never hesitate to contact us for assistance when you have any quesons or you need help, and you can
reduce the account of me your troubles takes and solve your problem eciently.
Note: Each of the following descripon must be veried before any operaon on Snger.
1. The operator should wear face shield, welding gloves,
caps, membrane lter dust mask and sound insulaon
earmu. It is strictly forbidden to observe directly or ap-
proach to the plasma arc with exposed skin.
2. The operator can’t load external program in internal stor-
age of the machine in case of the virus. Only the special
soware recognized by ARCBRO can be applied.
3. During cung period, when the oang voltage is too
high, the operator should check the ground connecon,
neutral connecon and insulaon of the torch handle.
Then isolate the workbench from the ground, or install
no-load open-circuit relay in the electrical control system.
4. The cung operator and assistant must wear labor protec-
on arcles by regulaon and take safety measures to
prevent electric shock, high-altude falling, gas poison-
ing, re or any other accidents.
5. The site should build rain-proof, damp-proof and sun-
proof machine shed, and install corresponding re equip-
ment. The machine should keep away from ammable
and combusble materials.
6. As the operaon and maintenance has potenal danger-
ous, operator should be careful in case geng injured.
It’s forbidden to wear loosen cloths or coon ropes in
case being entangled by the machine.
7. The high voltage of plasma CNC cuer is fatal, so operator
should install the machine step by step as the manufac-
turer spulate.
8. Only trained personnel can be allowed to operate the
equipment. Any maintenance should obey the user’s
manual and before that the power should be cut o. Only
experience technicist is allowed to change assemblies

Assembling
Steps

Assembling Step
Assemble the legs of the Gantry Frame and the Water Table:
Step 1: Unpacked the box, take out all assembles and leave the whole body (gantry frame with drag chain & wa-
ter table) together;
Step 2: Lift the whole body from the opposite of the drag chain by Forklift( Mind the drag chain with cables);
Step 3: Connect and fix all legs onto the Water Table (each leg fixed by 2 bolts);
Step 4: Connect and fix all legs onto the Gantry Frame by top screw(M16):
Hold the top screw firmly to enter the lower hole of the top leg, Connect the lower leg to the top leg and fix
the screw (detail check the picture below):
Frame leg detail:
Note: Hold the M16 screw firmly before you enter it into the small frame leg hole.

Assembling Step
Assemble the legs of the Gantry Frame and the Water Table:
Step 5: Assemble 【Beam】
Note: Pls fix the machine frame on the water table first, then install the cross beam ；
Step 5: Fix each Side Board onto the frame leg by screws;

11
Assembling Step
Connect the machine Base to the Ground:
Step 7: Fix each Side Board onto the frame leg by screws;
Step 8: Adjust the [Level Bolts] according to the measurement of Level Gauge, to make sure:
a- the Water Table level; b- the 2 track on same horizontal level [The level precision request: ±1mm]
Step 9: Fix all the screws( Fix Bolt) to the Ex-
pansion Bolt tightly.

12
Assembling Step
Wire connection:
Step 9: Connect the all cables accordingly:
—Power Supply cable,
—Ground wire to cutting plate,
—ARC START cable to plug of the plasma power source,
—DIV ARC+/- cable to Original Arc Voltage ports inside of the plasma power source.
Note: Ref. your plasma power source handbook for recommended Torch Height for
different thickness.

13
Assembling Step
Air Pressure connection for THC Lifter:
Step 10: Connect the air pressure tube to the air compressor.
Note:
Both the Arc voltage and the Pneumatic THC mode need air pressure to keep the THC Lifter of Stinger on the proper
position.
Torch loading：
Step 12: Load the plasma torch to the holder.
IHS wire Connection:
Step 13: Connect the IHS wire to the shield of the plasma torch.
Plate loading：
Step 11: Turn on the power supply of the Controller, Go to
Manual interface and Move the gantry to the other end of the
tracks. Load the thick plate onto the water table.
