During processing, can press Adjust the processing speed.Click 1% deceleration, long press 10%
deceleration。

14
The fourth chapter machining process
In the process of the content of this chapter is to introduce the processing needs of processing
4.1 Suspend operations
During processing, flame failure, interruption of arc voltage, or other need to suspend the case, press ，System to
stop working, and interface as follow：
【F1】： BACKWARD ，Cutting nozzle along the trajectory of the original cut back。
【F2】： FORWARD，Cutting along the cutting path forward;
【F3】： RETURN，Cutting nozzle return to the starting point, namely the starting point of the workpiece。
【F4】： N-PIERCE，Select any perforation point to cut
【F5】： ZOOMIN，Graphic magnification
【F6】： DELAY+，Increase the preheating time, increased to 10 seconds at a time。
【F7】： DELAY END，End of preheating, skip the rest of the preheating time，
Note: press【F7】end the preheating time delay，The end of the current only delay, not log into the system, if you need
memory the preheating time delay time for system, press end time delay (memory)at the same time), start punch
processing

15
Press Choose to change the speed，modify The values ，press to confirm。
After the completion of the modified,press To continue processing。
4.2 Change perforation position or cutting position after the pause
Mobile cutting after the pause, press start again , appear the following interface
Press Choose corresponding function，Press Run the corresponding action
1）ORIGINAL PATH RETURN(Only Return)
Return to adjust the starting point at the speed of G00, in this waiting for further operations; At this point according to the corresponding high voltage
function keys (such as ignition, preheated perforation, open cutting operations such as oxygen).Suggestion: after preheating, and then press "punch"
key, then the system starting from the breakpoint position to continue processing.
2）CUT ON RETURN PATH (Cutting Return)
Again in the first punch, cutting speed along a straight line from the current position to adjust the starting point, don't stop according to the original
path to continue processing, a bit like epitaxial perforation, perforation point more smooth;
3) START CUTTING HERE(Offset Cutting)
First perforation, adjust the current coordinates is suspended, the coordinates of the original trajectory continue processing, in order to realize the
transfer function of perforation.
Note: (2) and (3) before operation, should be fully preheat (fire), because a but chose operation, punch right away.
Normal practice should be first preheating (fire), then press the "start" key.
4.3 The original track back processing
In processing for failing to cut through, need to the original track back, is as follows:

16
Pause, slow down the running system, the system shows "pause" tag, and presented the following figure.
Press 【F1】System to perform the original track back, back speed set in the parameter - speed - back.
Press 【F2】In the back, on the basis of the original trajectory.In the process of back, if do not meet the need of position,
can press 【pause 】again, repeat the above process, until it is right.
Meet G00 (arrived at a piercing point) back;
In the process of back, meet G00 suspended (reach a piercing point) system, the operator can choose is to continue to back,
or forward;
The operation of back to back
Back to the designated place,
For preheating, then press punch, began to processing
under the condition of the flame，cutting torch up, open oxygen , cutting torch down, system continues to run.
under the condition of plasma，arc open, wait for after the arc, the system to continue running.
The above operation can be repeated, until get the desired effect.
4.4 Breakpoints recovery and restore power
4.4.1. Breakpoints recovery
Power failure in the system for suspension or for processing, the system will automatically save the current cutting torch position
for a breakpoint.The breakpoint will be permanent, whether to turn it off or not.
1）automatic recovery, after the power switch on, the system will prompt the diagram below

17
Choose breakpoints recovery，Press "start" button, the system breakpoint began to recover。
2）Entered manually, as long as the current process does not change, can press[ F6 ] find breakpoint function, back to the main
interface and then press "start" button, system breakpoint began to recover.
Both breakpoints recovery and restore power, are not allowed to change, the Angle of rotation, scaling, the
conditions of the system will automatically save, not affected by the switch machine).Otherwise the system may
find the breakpoint.
4.5、Choose section code function
4.5.1、Start the function
Passage function to specify system, arbitrary section from the program (or a piercing point) start the processing.
Press "F4" selecting optional perforation function, the system shows the diagram below:
Perforated dot at this point: direct input, and press enter after confirmation, the system will automatically cutting torch orientation to punch points
Press start from the current point to start cutting

18
4.6、The edge of the thick plate perforation
1) In the automatic processing, need to use edge perforation method for thick plate processing。
2) edge of the perforation of the method is: will be in front of the punch cutting torch to move to the edge of the
plate recently.
3) Start preheating, when after the preheating, press【start】key，Cutting along a straight line and the selected cutting
speed cutting to punch, cutting processing again.
4) USES the edge notch, the first change parameter control menu of edge notch choice to 1 (said to choose
effective).So every hole, the first prompted the diagram below:
Location perforation
System position and perforation, for inner hole in common use
Select Edge of the hole
1）The operator can press【↑】【↓】【←】【→】，Adjust the position of the cutting torch to the outer limits of the
steel plate, start preheating;
2）When after the preheating, press【start】key，Cutting along a straight line distance and the selected
cutting speed to punch, cutting processing again.
Don't perforat
No perforation, system run directly from the current perforation position.Blank line to the next hole, a new perforation tip.
