8 Instruction Manual XPR300

9 Overview The cut charts in this manual are for reference purposes. See the electronic cut charts that are on your CNC or web interface for the most reliable process-selection options. Graphics in this section are for reference only. Hypertherm s cut charts are designed to give the best quality with minimal dross. However, because of differences in cutting system installations and materials, it can be necessary to adjust the settings to get the results that you want. Pierce delay time If you have questions about how to make adjustments to process settings and consumable choices, contact your cutting machine supplier or regional Hypertherm Technical Service team. The pierce delay times that are in the cut charts are estimated with moderately worn consumables. If your consumable parts have more or less wear, it can be necessary to adjust the settings to get the results that you want. Consumables naturally deteriorate and become worn from use. As this occurs, the time necessary to pierce the workpiece increases. XPR300 Instruction Manual

10 Pierce and transfer For most processes, the torch transfers the arc to the workpiece from the pierce and then moves to cut after the pierce-delay time expires. For some of the thickest materials that can be pierced, the transfer is used to position the torch closer to the workpiece. This creates a more reliable arc. After arc transfer, the torch moves to pierce for piercing, followed by cut for cutting. All cut charts include kerf values. You can use these values with a controller to offset the cut path and produce a part to the desired size. The kerf values that are in the cut charts are estimated with new consumables. If your consumable parts have more wear, it may be necessary to change the kerf setting to get the results you want. Cut category Use the cut category in the cut charts to help you choose the process that matches your needs for cut quality and speed based on material type and. Arc voltage Edge starts are recommended for processes that have a cut category of 4 or 5. The arc voltage that is in the cut charts is for reference and estimated on an average cutting system configuration. Lead length can affect actual arc voltage. If the leads for your XPR TM cutting system are shorter or longer than average, it can be necessary to adjust the settings to get the results that you want. HyDefinition inox (HDi) vented processes Cut charts for HyDefinition vented processes are developed on SAE grade 304L stainless steel. When cutting other grades of stainless steel, adjustments can be necessary to get the best cut quality. If you decide that it is necessary to adjust a pre-programmed setting, use offset commands to make incremental changes to the original value. Manual selection of process settings is not recommended. Cut charts for HyDefinition vented processes are listed by amperage Instruction Manual XPR300

11 How to use cut charts Electronic cut charts are available on the cut chart screen of your CNC or XPR web interface. For information about how to find electronic cut charts, see the instruction manual that came with your CNC. Hard copy cut charts are available in this manual. They start on page 15. The cut charts in this manual are for reference purposes. Always use the electronic cut charts that appear on your CNC or XPR web interface for the most complete and accurate process-selection information. Standard-position cutting, marking, and piercing cut charts Use the cut charts for guidance about process selection, especially if the default process ID settings are not satisfactory for your application. The pre-programmed settings that come with a process ID are designed to give the best balance between quality and productivity with consumables that are in average condition. The results that you want from a process can influence process selection. In some cases, cut quality is important. In other cases, speed is important. Often, the best choice balances these requirements (See Process selection on page 14.) Process core (PCT) The cut chart for every cutting process contains a range of possible es. Process engineers work to optimize a range of es (usually in the middle of the overall range of es). This optimized range is called the process core es (PCT). Thicknesses greater and less than the PCT can have varied results relative to cut quality, cut speed, and piercing capability. Process categories The XPR cut charts have up to 5 process categories. Each category has a unique process category number (1 5) that correlates to the performance that you can expect when you select this process. The process category number for the process that you choose changes the quality-speed balance. For best results, Hypertherm recommends that you select process category number 1 whenever possible. Category 1 represents an optimized (or PCT) for that cut process with the overall best balance of cut quality and cut speed. Table 1 on page 13 describes the results that you can expect with different process category numbers. XPR300 Instruction Manual

12 Bevel cutting All consumable processes are capable of up to 52º bevel cuts. Choose bevel cutting settings (such as speed) from the cut chart, based on the effective of the actual bevel cut through the material. Note that arc voltages may need to compensate for the actual effective cut. For more information, see Torch geometry for bevel cutting on page 99. Arc voltage Hypertherm recommends a clearance of 2.5 mm (0.098 in.) between the torch and the workpiece during bevel cutting. Arc voltages provided in the cut charts are for reference only. Actual arc voltages will vary with system configuration Instruction Manual XPR300

13 Pierce settings Pierce settings in the cut charts are based on standard-position torch angles (at a 90º angle to the workpiece). Table 1 Process category options and expected quality-speed results Process category number Process category condition Category description Quality Speed Category 1 Process Core Thickness (PCT) Best overall balance of productivity and cut quality. Very good Very good The process is optimized for this. Expect cut speeds that range from 2,030 mm/min 3,810 mm/min (80 in/min 150 in/min). Dross free, in most cases. Category 2 Greater than PCT Good choice when edge quality is more important than speed. Expect cut speeds that are slower than 2,030 mm/min (80 in/min). Some low-speed dross is possible. Category 3 Less than PCT Good choice when speed is more important than edge quality. Expect cut speeds that are faster than 3,810 mm/min (150 in/min). Dross-free results in most cases. Category 4 Edge Start Only Edge start is required. Thick, low-speed dross is likely. Category 5 Severance This is the maximum for these processes. Edge start is required. Expect cut speeds that are slower than 250 mm/min (10 in/min). Cut-edge quality can be rough. Expect significant dross. Very good excellent Lower Good Very low Lower Higher Low Very low In general, Hypertherm recommends lower amperage processes for the best cut-edge quality, and higher amperage processes for the best dross-free cutting. When quality is not as important as speed, you can use a higher-amperage process. See the cut charts for guidance. XPR300 Instruction Manual

14 Process selection All of the XPR cutting processes have a unique process identification (process ID) number. Each process ID aligns with a specific set of pre-programmed values in the cut chart database in the plasma power supply memory. Processes in the database can be selected by: type and Cutting current Plasma and shield gas types Process category When you select a process ID from the CNC or the Operate screen in the XPR web interface, the cutting system automatically activates the pre-programmed settings for that process based on the values in the database. On-screen lists of process options let you select, monitor, and control processes directly from the CNC or the Operate screen in the XPR web interface. Manual selection of process settings is not necessary in most cases. However, you can adjust some pre-programmed settings with override or offset commands, within limits. For information about how to do this, refer to the XPR300 Instruction Manual (809480). How to use process IDs to access optimal settings When you select a process ID from the CNC or XPR web interface, you automatically get the optimized settings that Hypertherm recommends for that process. The pre-programmed settings come from Hypertherm s extensive laboratory tests. Because of differences in cutting systems, materials, and consumables, it is sometimes necessary to adjust the settings. However, in most cases, you can expect the best results when you use the default settings that come with a process ID Instruction Manual XPR300
