Title: Cut Profiles Setup
Post by: brouser1 on August 26, 2010, 01:48:42 AM
Hello

I am hoping someone can help me setup or just get in the ballpark with my cut profiles. This profile is for cutting 3/8" steel, I have a Hypertherm Powermax 45 w/ Machine torch & Z floating axis.

I can fill out a few of the options:

Tip Volt Preset 120
THC Delay 1     Is 1 sec too slow or not slow enough?
Tip Saver %       *What is a good starting point?
Arc OK Current    *What is a good starting point?
Cut Current 45
Span Gap 4
Upper Fault Limit   *What is a good starting point?
Lower Fault Limit   *What is a good starting point?
Current Tolerance %  *What is a good starting point?

Any and all info is greatly appreciated.
