4. Press the GREEN BUTTON above the Operators Console. (This will power the motors)
5. Press DATUM. (Machine will seek back left corner)
To power up your Torchmate 5100 CNC machine, the following items need to be powered up; Machine and Plasma Unit.
The machine will power the controller, computer, and touchscreen. The switch is located on the backside of the machine.
Once switched on, the computer and all the electronics will power up. The power switch for the plasma power supply
is located on the front of the unit. The complete user guide is available as an embedded le in the VMD. Use the button

Running a Job
For your rst machine cut, we highly recommend cutting the Factory provided test cut program, and comparing it to the
sample that was cut in the factory. This will help verify that the machine is operating to factory specications.
When you rst turn on the machine, it will already be congured and
ready to run. A screen displays PLEASE SWITCH DRIVES ON. Press HIDE
and then in the lower left corner press DATUM. The Torch will travel to the
limits of the machine and establish the MACHINE ZERO.
Datum:
Continuous Jog:
Pressing one of the arrows on the screen will move the torch-
body in the direction you are pressing. When released, the
head will stop.
The distance from your nger press to the base of the arrow
will determine the speed at which the machine moves. While
you are jogging, sliding your nger in the direction of the
arrow will increase or decrease your speed.

Follow the steps below to Jog the tool around the table
Running a job (continued)
Incremental Jog:
This will move the torch body back to the established PROGRAM
ZERO, at the highest possible torch position to avoid torch collisions.
Pressing one of the arrows on the screen will move the torch-
body in the direction you are pressing, the amount of distance
specied in the “Increment Distance” setting.
By using the slider, you can set increments between .000 -

Plasma Console: (Spirit II)
The Spirit II plasma cutter allows you or the G-Code program to set variables for the plasma cutter. All of the plasma cut-
ter buttons and information screens are only displayed on the HMI Plasma Console, there are no buttons, regulators, etc.
on the Spirit II plasma cutter.
Plasma Console
• Material - Choose the type of material
• Preow - Digital Read Out for Preow gas pressure, this is set automatically by the selection of the material, thick-
ness, and amperage
• Thickness - Choose the thickness of your material
• Plasma (Gas) - Pressure and type of gas, this is set automatically by the selection of the material, thickness, and am-
perage
• Current - This will automatically set to the recommended current based on your chosen material type and thickness.
This is done for the “optimum” cut quality. This can be overridden to increase production while reducing cut quality.
• Shield (Gas) - Pressure and type of gas, this is set automatically by the selection of the material, thickness, and am-
perage
• View torch Parts - Will provide the operator an exploded view of the consumables required for the selected material
and thickness, with part numbers (displayed on next page)
• Display Process Gases, Cut or Mark - Displays the preow, plasma, and shield pressures for the Cutting or Marking
Process.
• Grey/Green Power Button - Turns the Spirit II plasma cutter ON (green) or OFF (grey)
• Process Setup Material/Parameters - Material displays the Material Selection screen (shown below), Parameters dis-
plays the actual cut parameters for the selected material and thickness (displayed on next page)
• System - Access dierent system variables for the Spirit II plasma cutter
