Powering up the Torchmate 5100
1. Power up the machine by using the ON/O switch. (Located at the back left of the machine)
2. The VMD Application will auto start with the computer, wait for control panel to load (run.wap)
3. Verify the EMERGENCY STOP(s) are disengaged by turning the RED EMERGENCY STOP button clockwise. One on the
non-cable carrier side of the gantry and one above the monitor.
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
with the question mark to access this le.

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.

This establishes the Lower Left corner of the program, centerline
of the torch body. This will be where the job will start from for any
part or nest programmed for the Torchmate 5100 .
Establish the plates position by pressing SET PROGRAM ZERO.
Set Program Zero:
Go To Program Zero:
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 -
.100”. You can directly enter any number into the dialog.

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

Plasma Console, continued
System - Status
• DC Power - This light is only lit Green when the plasma cutter is actually cutting
• 3 Phase Power - Indicates green when all three phases are connected to the proper voltage
• Gas Console - Indicates green when all gases are properly purged for the selected material type and thickness
• ASC Door - Indicates green when the Arc Start Console door is closed (Remote Arc Start control box)
• Coolant Temperature - Indicates green when the temperature of the coolant is within normal ranges
• Coolant Level - Indicates green when the coolant level is sucient in the storage tank
• Coolant Flow - Indicates green when the ow rate of the coolant is sucient to remove heat from the consumables at
an adequate rate
The Status button will display the current status of the Spirit II plasma cutter to quickly determine if the machine is ready
to cut.

1. Press SELECT JOB
2. Locate 5100 SPII 275 + 400 INLINE TEST CUT 70A.GM and press OK
3. Verify that your material type is set Steel, the thickness to 3/16”, and the amperage
to 70 on your Plasma Console screen
4. 5100 Inline test cut will now show in the display
5. Set the AVHC MODE to AUTO
6. Set the AVHC SAMPLE VOLTAGE to ON
7. Set the AVHC IHS (ohmic detection) to ON
8. Set the AVHC IHS MODE to ALWAYS
9. Jog the head over to the Lower Left corner of the material you are going to cut and
press SET PROGRAM ZERO
10 Set the Machine to Active Run (If Dry Run is displayed, press once to toggle to
Active Run)
11. Verify that the FEED RATE OVERRIDE is set to 100%
12 PRESS RUN JOB (machine may throw sparks)
13. The cut will progress as follows:
Rapid travel to the rst inside feature
Z Axis moves toward the material, touching the top of the material
(IHS -ohmic detection)
Torch retracts to set PIERCE HEIGHT and will re
Dwells until the PIERCE DELAY is expired
Drops to set CUT HEIGHT and starts the program
Will cut all inside features rst, then move to the outside geometry
Once cut is complete, compare the cut to the provided sample and verify that they
match. This will provide proof that the machine is functioning properly.
Performing Your First Test Cut (straight torch NON BEVEL)
The LINE SPEED TEST.gm and 5100 Test Cut.gm is provided to determine the proper feed rate in IPM to cut the ma-
terial thickness to the amperage you have set on the plasma power supply. These have been included in your pre-load-
ed rst cut on the Torchmate 5100 models. The plasma torch body is pre-loaded with 70 amp consumables for a 3/16”
material cut from the factory. We highly suggest your rst cut is our pre-loaded, *5100 SPII 275 + 400 INLINE TEST CUT
70A.GM” to ensure your machine has been transported in the same condition it has left the factory. Please locate the
factory test sample located in the waterbed and load a piece of 3/16” mild steel for the comparison cut test.
If you need to stop the
machine at any time
please hit the stop button
on the touch screen.
