How To Use A CNC Plasma Cutting Table With Drilling Head And Rotary

This cnc plasma cutting machine  can work on Iron Plate, Aluminum sheet,Galvanized Sheet Stainless,Titanium plates etc. metal sheet and metal pipe can both cutting.

Today we will talk about how to use a cnc plasma table with drilling head and rotary.

The CNC plasma table with rotary pipe cutting attachment has been favored by most users. However, some users will add a drilling head option to enable the machine to have a drilling function. In this way, the machine would have three functions: drilling (use drill head), plasma plate cutting, and plasma tube cutting. It is known as cnc plasma cutting and drilling machine.

Step 1. Drilling Head Parameter Setup for CNC Plasma Table

• In this step, we need to set two parameters: Length of tapping, and Velocity of tapping.

• Press F4, enter into Setup menu.

• Press F4, enter into Z-axis menu

• Move the cursor to the item – Length of tapping, the appropriate value should be 5 or 6mm greater than the plate thickness. That’s the theory, let’s take a look at a specific example: if the plate is 8mm thick, then we type 14mm here.

• Input the value.

• Move the cursor to the item – Velocity of tapping, input 50 here.

• The setting principle is that the larger the diameter of the drill bit the slower the speed should be.

• Press F8 to save the parameters.

• Press ESC back to the initial menu.

Step 2. Clear Coordinate for Drill Head

• Press M, switch to Drill Mode.

• Use ↑↓← →, move the drilling head to a position where the drilling starts.

• Press the key “PgDn”, move the drilling head to a position about 2mm away from the surface of the workpiece.

• Press F8 to clear the coordinates and you’ll see they are all zero now.

Step 3. Clear Coordinate for Plasma Cutting Torch of the Plasma CNC Machine

• Press M, switch to Plasma Cut Mode.

• Use ↑↓← →, move the plasma torch to the lower-left corner of the plate.

• Press F8, clear the coordinate. All coordinates are zero now.

Step 4. Load File in the CNC Plasma Cutting System

• Press F2, enter into files management menu.

• Press F2, enter into U Disk File management.

• The key↓- move the cursor from the current file to the next file.

• The key PgDn – move to next page from current page

• Move the cursor to the file we need, press Enter.

• The shape being cut loaded

Step 5. Plasma Cutting Parameter Setup

• Press X to set the cutting speed. input the desired rate – 1100, press Enter to save. FYI, the cnc plasma cutting speed should be set to a reasonable value according to the thickness of the sheet and the power of the plasma source.

• Adjust the arc voltage to a reasonable value according to the thickness of the plate.

• Press this key to perform auto working.

Step 1. Clear Coordinate

• Press M, switch to Plasma Cut Mode.

• Use ↑↓← →, move the plasma torch to the centerline of the round tube.

• Press F8 to clear the coordinates, the coordinate values are all zero now.

• Switch on the rotary attachment.

Step 2. Tube Cutting Parameter Setup

• According to the diameter of the tube, we need to set the correct pulse value in the system.

• Press F4, enter into the Setup Menu.

• Press F5, and a dialog box pop out, press enter.

• We are in the System setup menu now; Type the correct pulse value in the column - Horizontal Axis Pulse

• You may ask: How do I know the pulse value?

• Use the formula: correct pulse value = π x D ÷136.2 x 139 (D here refers to the tube diameter)

• For example we need to cut a 200mm diameter tube, then by calculation, 3.14 x 200 ÷136.2 x 139 = 640.91

• Press F8 to save, press ESC back to the initial menu.

• Press X to set the cutting speed. Input the desired rate – 3000, press Enter to save it.

• Turn to knob on the THC controller to adjust the arc voltage to a reasonable value according to the thickness of the plate.

• Press this key to perform auto working.

CNC plasma cutting machine produce technicial point:

1.High strength machine tool have relieved the internal stress through aging annealing treatment to 2.ensure a long-term stability

and accuracy.

3.Double drive design,high precision rack gear and guide rail

4.The grantry adopts the cast aluminum ,cast beaming,reduce the weight of machine to run more smooth.

5.Movable handle control with convenient operation

6.Smooth and fine edge or surface and small distoration

7.Receiving system is convenient for collecting the material

8.Dedicated software enables graphic or test to instantly designed or processed
