Cutting the Material
1.
Move the nozzle to an out-of-way area on the table that allows ample working room for the
material to be placed and secured to the table.
2.
Lower the tank water level to just below the table slats.
3.
Place the material to be cut on the slats and use adequate fixturing to keep the material flat and
stable during cutting.
Note:
Ensure that small parts do not fall into the tank as they are cut free. Either use jet bricks, position the cut
appropriately, or utilize tabs. Refer to Clamping and Positioning Materials for Cutting on page 3-6.
4.
Position the nozzle to begin the cut and set the Path Start Home:
a.
Place the nozzle above the material being cut, ensuring efficient use of the available material
and where it will not overshoot the material during the cut.
b.
Once the nozzle is correctly positioned, click
Zero
as the
Distance from Path Start
(see
Figure 3-23).
Note:
This step may be omitted, as the distance from path start is always zeroed automatically when the cut is
initiated.
