Cut Quality - PRO-POINT PROCUT 80 Manuel

the edge of the plate start
moving evenly in the direction
you wish to cut.
2.1 Sparks and debris will
spray upwards from the
cut until the plasma arc
burns through the metal. The sparks and debris will then spray
downwards from the cut.
2.2 Press and hold the trigger instead of a series of rapid trigger
presses. This can damage the pilot arc system and workpiece.
3. Move the torch along the metal
at a constant speed to cut.
Keep the torch at a 90° angle
(Fig. 7). Slow the cutting
speed to allow the torch to cut
through the metal, if sparks
start to spray upward. Moving
too slow will affect the quality of the cut or cause the arc to break up.
4. Release the trigger after the cut is complete. The air flow will
continue for 30 seconds to cool the torch head.

CUT QUALITY

A clean cut depends on several factors. The best quality cut will be
produced when all these variables are set correctly for the material
thickness and type of material being cut.
AMPERAGE
The standard rule of thumb is thicker materials require more amperage.
Set the machine to full output and vary your travel speed with thick
material. Thin material requires lower amperage and a lower-amperage
tip to maintain a narrow kerf. The kerf is the width of the cut material
that is removed during cutting.
SPEED
Amperage and speed are critical
to producing a good quality cut.
Moving faster across the metal
(especially on aluminum) will
result in a cleaner cut (Fig. 8).
