Important statement


It is suggested that all operators should carefully read and understand these items before
operating the equipment. Repeatedly mentioned content in the manual should be grasped
importantly and paid more attention to.

Examine packing carton if there is any damage during transportation after receiving the
equipment. After packing carton, examine equipment component if there is any damage
during transportation; examine if the articles in the cartons correspond with which are
listed in the packing list (if ordering more than 1 sets, please according to the tags on
packing carton, grouping and matching to use).

Know Related Knowledge


The operators must be familiar with the cutting elements and related practice regulations of
oxy-gas and plasma. The performance and parameter also need griping before operating. The
machine can not be disassembled by unprofessional person. Refer to the manual and consult the
technicians if there comes to problems.

Installation and Use


The user is responsible for installing and using the equipment according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. If electromagnetic disturbances are detected then it shall be the responsibility of the
user to resolve the situation with the technical assistance of the manufacturer. In some cases this
remedial action may be as simple as earthing the casing, see Earthing of Work piece.
In other cases of using plasma cutting machine, it could involve constructing an electromagnetic
screen enclosing the power source and the work complete with associated input filters. In all
cases electromagnetic disturbances must be reduced to the point where they are no longer
troublesome.

Using Environment
System allowable working environment temperature is 0℃-60℃, relative humidity is 0-85%.
Don’t make dust and iron powders enter system interior, especially don’t make liquid enter host.
In such environment as high temperature, high wet many dusts and causticity gas to work, need
taking special protection.

Assessment of Area
Before using the equipment to cut, the user shall make an assessment of potential
electromagnetic problems in the surrounding area. The following shall be taken into account:
1. Using oxygen and gas cutting:
a. Time of day that cutting or other activities are to be carried out.
2. Before using plasma cutting equipment, potential electromagnetic problems in the surrounding
area:
a. Other supply cables, control cables, signaling and telephone cables; above, below and
adjacent to the cutting equipment.
b. Radio and television transmitters and receivers.
c. Computer and other control equipment.
d. Safety critical equipment, for example guarding of industrial equipment.
e. Health of the people around, for example the use of pacemakers and hearing aids.

HC1020/1225/1530 Operator Manual I


Important statement

f. Equipment used for calibration or measurement.


g. Immunity of other equipment in the environment. User shall ensure that other equipment
being used in the environment is compatible .This may require additional protection
measures.
Consider time of day that cutting or other activities, flammable materials and the size of the
surrounding area. The surrounding area may extend beyond the boundaries of the premises.

Maintenance of Cutting Equipment


The cutting equipment must be routinely maintained according to the manufacturer’s
recommendations. When the cutting equipment is in operation, the cutting equipment should not
be modified. In particular, the gear and rack meshing clearance should be adjusted and
maintained according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Plasma Cutting Question


●Method of Reducing Emission
Mains Supply The equipment must be connected to the mains supply according to the
manufacture’s recommendations. If interference occurs, it may be necessary to take additional
precautions such as filtering of the mains supply. Consideration should be given to shielding the
supply cable of permanently installed cutting equipment, in metallic conduit or equivalent. The
shielding should be connected to the cutting mains supply so that good electrical contact is
maintained between the conduit and equipment enclosure and the cutting power source
enclosure.
●Equipotential Bonding
Bonding of all metallic components in the cutting installation and adjacent to it should be
considered. However, metallic components bonded to the work piece will increase the risk that
the operator could receive a shock by touching these metallic components and the electrode at
the same time. The operator should be insulated from all such bonded metallic components.

●Earthing of Work Piece


Where the work piece is not bonded to earth for electrical safety, nor connected to earth because
of its size and position, a connection bonding the work piece to earth may reduce emissions in
some, but not all instances. Care should be taken to prevent the earthing of the work piece
increasing the risk of injury to users, or damage to other electrical equipment. Where necessary,
the connection of the work piece to earth should be made by a direct connection to the work
piece, but in some countries where direct connection is not permitted, the bonding should be
achieved by suitable capacitances selected according to national regulations.
Note: The cutting circuit may or may not be earthed for safety reasons. Changing the earthing
arrangements should only be authorized by a person who is competent to assess.

●Screening and Shielding


Selective screening and shielding of other cables and equipment in the surrounding area may
alleviate problems of interference. Screening of the entire plasma cutting installation may be
considered for special applications.

Cutting Slot Compensation


No matter how to adopt flame cutting or (4-30)
plasma cutting, remaining cutting slot in
cutting position. Because of adopting different
techniques and plate thickness, cutting slot
width is different. Usually, consider cutting slot
width in order to get eligible parts in
accordance of drawing.
There are two ways to solve in the course of
practice. One is software compensation, before
generating codes, consider cutting slot width
according to experience, but once setting up
cutting slot by this way, don’t adjust cutting slot width by changing code way, only generate
codes again, so when a program adopts different cutting ways and plate thickness, you must
generate codes again according to situations; the other is system hardware operation
compensation, when generating codes, don’t consider cutting slot width compensation, but adopt
system hardware operation compensation way, reach to cutting slot compensation in system
inside by solidified program count, the way merit is adjusting cutting slot width at any time
(Picture 4-30).
In graph interface, press 【 】cutting slot (4-31)

compensation, press 【 】 again after
inputting cutting slot compensation value,
system shows “Operating” (Picture 4-31), after
finishing operating, the cursor disappears,
compensation comes into effect. Then press
【 Start】to cut workpiece.

When using cutting slot compensation, note that you must choose to adopt machine
compensation way when software generates codes, cutting slot compensation is
effective. Because when software generates codes, there is no G40, G41 and G42 code
in software compensation program, don’t run
compensation order. (4-32)

Cutting slot compensation value

4.5 Plasma Cutting Linkage Control


4.5.1 Sketch
HyCutTM portable NC flame/plasma cutting machine could connect with any kinds of plasma
cutters in theory, three using method as follows:
1) Cut automatically by connecting the plasma cutter switch end to attached switch wire of
cutting machine without tracking and initial position, this way need to adjust to appropriate
distance between cutting nozzle and plate by hand before cutting. When cutting, still adjust the
distance anytime according to the flatness and thickness of plate, so it is relative not easy to
control, it adapt to the extreme flat or thicker plate for slow cutting.
2) Connect plasma arc voltage tracking system(THC system), carry out cutting by arc voltage
tracking without initial position, this way need to adjust to appropriate distance between cutting
nozzle and plate by hand before cutting. When cutting, THC system will collect electric voltage
continuously, the more distance, the larger electric voltage, otherwise, the same reason. System
could control distance just right according to pre-set the arc voltage value, it has large helpful for
out of flatness plate.
3) Connect plasma arc voltage tracking system, carry out cutting by arc voltage tracking and
initial position, before every cutting, cutting gun go down automatically until touch the steel
plate then rebound to preset height immediately(this action means initial position), cutting
process is same with 2). After one section cutting, cutting gun auto go up to preset safe height,
then move to next cutting section until finish cutting. This way has high automation and no
manual intervene. If plate rust or bad electric-conduction, it is not easy to achieve initial position,
then cut as 2).

4.5.3.4 Plasma Arc Voltage Collecting
Before cutting you should set suitable arc voltage if cut work-piece which connect THC system,
it could help cutting gun to keep constant distance with plate’s arc ups and downs to achieve
stable cutting for out of flatness plate. If can’t define arc voltage, then define by collecting.
a. Refer to 4-11page “manual moving speed” method to adjust MS speed same with normal
cutting work-piece speed.

4.5.4 Attentions
1、If arc voltage tracking with initial position, need to make the initial position switch “on”, the
indicator light is up this time. if the plate that will be cut have oxidize sign and don’t conduct
electricity then initial position function lose effectiveness and also don’t rebound when torch
touch the steel plate, this time close the snap switch at once then start again, adjust the arc
striking height by hand or sweep away the oxide layer of steel plate then continue to operate.
2、When plasma cutting , the arc voltage have close relation with thickness of plate, machine
speed, the performance of plasma cutter. When setting value, consult professional person and
refer to plasma cutter manual.

3.1 “Torch Down” means the time after cutting gun idling run to intended position then goes
down to certain height, this judge by your experience. There are two situation when plasma
cutting: one is no configure THC or configure but don’t use initial position,, this situation you
could set the time but usually not so accurate; Another is configure THC and use initial position,
this situation should keep 00000 value, because cutting will go down automatically then rebound
when touch the steel plate .
3.2 “Preheat” means preheat time when used for flame cutting, if plasma cutting, regard it as stay
time that cutting gun quickly move to intended position, this could stable cutting gun instead of
shaking seriously, if moving speed isn’t very quick, no need to set.
3.3 “Piece Up”, include previous value and back value. Previous value means the lifting time of
cutting gun when piecing, used for protecting spray nozzle because sometimes the spraying dreg
could damage and shorten lifetime of machine , of course, this decide by plasma piecing
ability and make sure don’t close arc; Back value means piece stop time, thicker steel plate need
a little long piecing time, otherwise the same. Some plasma cutter machine, when start the
cutting switch could deliver gas in advance, but attention that the piecing time must longer than
deliver gas time, otherwise, cutting gun will start running when without piecing through steel
plate.
3.4 “Piece Down”, is responding parameter for “Piece Up”, generally , after setting piece up
time , then set piece down time, finish piecing then back to normal cutting height, but due to
gravity function, the value for piece up is a little higher than piece down.
3.5 “Torch Up” means after cutting one section, cutting gun should lift to certain height,then
idling run to next cutting point,generally 1.5 second is ok(Picture 4-6-4). The value after torch
up means stop time after torch up to certain height, this usually used for flame cutting to avoid
residual gas burn the work-piece, and no need to set this value when plasma cutting.

Plasma cutting which fix THC system, please make sure every wires connect
correctly and reliably.
