Model SH-2012AH-QG   

Cutting Machine

C002

 

 

3.2.9 

[F5] 

SCALE

 

The system will reminder user to input scale if this key is pressed. When the machining program is executed, 

the work size will magnify or minify as per this scale. This feature is very useful in cutting graphic character.   

3.2.10 

[F2] 

WENTAI 

     

The system will prompt to run WENTAI-based machining program if this key is pressed. WENTAI is a word 

machining software for CAD/CAM, widely used in cutting graphic characters in advertisement business. This feature 

is required to run a WENTAI-based program. 

 

 

3.3. Startup of speed mode(multiplying factor) and automatic mode 

3.3.1

Manual speed and return speed

 

In either manual or return mode, manual multiplying factor is used to adjust speed.   

Effective  Speed

  maximum  speed  limit  *  manual  multiplying  factor

,  where  the  manual  multiplying 

factor is adjustable with [F], [F↑] and [F↓] key.

 

 

3.3.2

Machining Speed

 

Automatic multiplying factor is used to adjust machining speed.   

Machining  Speed

  machining  speed  limit  *  machining  multiplying  factor

,  where  the  automatic 

multiplying factor is adjustable with [F], [F↑] and [F↓] key.

 

 

These  two  speed  multiplying  factors  are  permanently  saved  and  subject  to  no  affect  from  power-off 

operation once they are set.   

3.3.3Start of automatic mode 

1)

 

Prior to starting automatic mode, 

Select correct machining program and appropriate machining speed(multiplying factor). Move the cutting 

torch to the cutting position. The cutting torch will be lifted automatically after a  machining program is 

initiated(to execute M70). And now, it is ready to start the machining program in automatic mode.   

2)

 

Two starting methods in automatic mode: 

 

a)

Press the green [START] key on the front panel. 

 

b)Press an external "START" key(See the definition of input/output ports). 

 

3.4. Control and adjustment of cutting position in automatic mode 

3.4.1 Only the following keys are enabled when the system starts automatic mode: 

 

1)

 

[PAUSE]: If this key is pressed, the system will slow down and stop movement, shut off cutting oxygen(shut 

off  arcing  switch  in  plasma  machining  case),  turn  off  the  height  controller(M39)  and  remain  the  current 

display still. After the system operation is paused, it is allowed to perform the following operations:   

(a)

 

Return  along  the  original  path;  (b)adjust  position;  (c)exit  machining  operation;  (d)  [START]:  restore 

system operation; and 

(e)Press [ESC] key to exit the machining program and return to automatic mode window.   

2)

 

[F↑]  and  [F↓]  speed  adjusting  key:  To  increase  or  decrease  the  multiplying  factor  of  feed 

speed. 

 

3)

 

[

↑] and [

↓] key: To control the vertical movement of cutting torch. By pushing and holding either key, 

the cutting torch will move up or down accordingly, and the movement will stop if the key is released.
