ASSEMBLE STEPS
assemble guild rail
place the guild rail upsides
The assembled base plate is fixed the base
down on the ground
installed into the guide rail plate on guild
as shown in the figure, rails
paying attention to the nut
being inserted into the groove
put right position to insert rod bar
as show as photo
connect with guild rails
Rod bar
FIX THE RACK TEETH
RACK CONNECTION SHOWN
Firstly, adjust the screws on the
operating side pad of the host,
adjust the guide rail to horizontal
and form a straight line, weld the
pad to the material table, and
adjust the other side of the guide
rail to the center to 3050mm,
parallel and horizontal to the
main rail.

Key extension function description
Chapter 3 Cutting Function
In the main interface, press the 【SPACE】to enter the cutting interface, shown as
follows:
①Shows the current workpiece's cutting path. ②Shows the G-file being processed,
shows the current and next line. ③Shows the current cutting speed. during cutting or
paused, you can press the keyboard's number keys 【1】 - 【9】 to achieve quick speed
regulation. For example, press the number【3】, the speed is automatically adjusted to
30%; press the number 【8】 the speed is automatically adjusted to 80%.
X shows the absolute coordinate of the torch in X direction.
Y shows the absolute coordinate of the torch in Y direction. In the cutting interface:
【X】: Modify the cutting speed.
【Y】: Modify the manual move speed.
【F】: Change the current manual move mode.
【G】: Modify the distance of step move in manual move
【START】(or【F9】): Start cutting.
【STOP】(or 【F10】): Pause, the controller can suspend all ongoing actions.
【F1】:Move back along the cutting path(I / O closed)
【F2】: Move forward along the path (I / O closed).
【F3】: Return to the starting point, i.e. the starting point of the current work piece.
【F4】: It is same to key End. Decrease the cutting speed, each decrease of 3% click rate.
Decrease the rate of manual moving machine in manual mode.
【F5】: It is same to key Home. Increase the cutting speed, each 3% increase in click rate.
Increase the rate of manual moving machine in manual mode. Chapter 3 Cutting
Function 13
【F6】: Reduce the preheat time, skip the remaining preheat time, and the controller
automatically records preheat time and the time is used until the workpiece is over.
【F7】: Increase the preheat time once 15 seconds.
【F8】: When the controller move is suspended, for selecting piercing point; when in
moving, the trace display is zoom in over the full screen. Four direction keys (Up,
down, left and right): manually move.
3.5 Edge Cutting / Offset Cutting / Return When the torch is not on the trace
of the current work piece, it will prompt as follows
There are two reasons led to this situation:
1) When the common parameter "Edge Cutting Enable" is checked and if
G-file of the next processing line is M07, the system will be automatically
suspended. At this time, the torch can be manually moved to any edge of
the plate, press the "start" button, the system will prompt as above
2) When the processing is paused, due to some reasons, it needs to move
the torch out of the actual path of the work piece, the above prompt will
appear.
If press【G】, the system cutting returns back to the paused point, continue
to cut. This feature is particularly useful for thick steel plate, it can reduce
the preheat time and increase cutting efficiency.
If press 【X】, the controller offset current point to paused point, it will
continue cutting. That is, the controller offsets the cutting point. When the
cutting machine paused or a power outage or any other reason, if the torch
is not on the right trace of shape, the function can be used to offset the
torch to the shape trace.
If press【Y】, The controller moves to the paused point quickly, and then
pause. During the cutting process,
if discovering cutting torch malfunction or other issues, system needs to
move the cutting tip out of cutting region to overhaul. When return to
breakpoint after the maintenance, this key can be pressed. Then return to
the paused point, press the 【 start 】 button, the system automatically
continues to cutting.
Height controller instructions
Figure 2. 3 F1621 Panel and Key Description Key Function Rotation Func- Other Rotation Function
【Arc Voltage setting】:it control the arc voltage Normally speaking,we set 125 What is Arc
voltage?it means distance from the nozzles and metal plate during
cutting.
【piercing delay】it is decided by thickness of metal plate
【Arcing Test】:In case of non-cutting and non-menu operation, press and hold this key,
plasma will start arc (arcing relay is closed), and release this key to stop
Arcing (arcing relay is open). When the arcing test key is released, the cuttin
torch will be up up- ward, and the up height is the height of the gun up after
cutting
【IHS height】it means the times for the torch tip to tourch the steel plate at the beginning of
cutting
Under the condition of non-cutting and non-menu operation, press this key once to start
the initial positioning operation until the positioning is completed. If this key is pressed
again during positioning, or the torch up key [▲] is pressed, positioning will be stopped
immediately. The indicator lamp above the【IHS height】 is always light during the
positioning test. After the positioning test is completed, the lamp goes out
【▲】:Cutting torch up
【▼】: Cutting torch down,
【Menu】: Enter the menu function key. In different states, it represents different
functions.
【Confirm】:The confirm button. After entering the menu, press this key for the first time
to enter the modification parameter. After the modification parameter is completed,
press this key again to confirm the modification paramete
