DTHC-SETUP/INSTALL MANUAL CandCNC

ALTERNATE SCREEN SET FOR SMART-KUTUsing Smart-Kut for Plasma.NEW FEATURESmart-Kut is an exclusive feature of the DTHC from CandCNC. It allows the operator tolet the DTHC set it’s own PRESET VOLTS value rather than taking it from a Cut Profileor from the screen settings.Here is how it works:The operator presses the Auto Learn button once and the NEXT CUT LED willilluminate. At the next start point (Torch On event) the SMART KUT will wait until thetorch has fired, moved from pierce height to Initial cut height (Beginning cut height asset in your CAM POST) and then delay for the period defined in the THC DELAY in theCUT PROFILES (see the DCP manual for setup and calibration). The Auto Learnprocess starts after the preset THC Delay in the Cut Profiles and runs for 1.2 seconds ofcut. It averages all the readings during that period and then sets the PRESET Value tothe averaged value.THC DELAY (variable)AUTO LEARN (1.2 sec)TOTAL SMART-KUT CYCLE TIMEThe function can be put into continuous mode by pressing the Auto Learn button twice.The Continuous LED will light and the torch will Auto Learn on every cut. Pressing thebutton while in Continuous Mode turns the Mode OFF.NOTE: It is not a good idea to use the Continuous Mode on a job with mixed types ofcuts. Some cuts may not be long enough or may be small enough to keep normal cutrates from being achieved (like holes and detailed scroll work) so the Auto Learn will“learn” the wrong value.IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that you have the Floating Torch Holder setup,operational and calibrated. The Auto Learn works on the principle that the touch-offsequence is finding the top of material, accurately backing off (Switchoffset value inSheetCAM), that the pierce height is accurate, that the Initial Cut height (height thetorch moves to from the pierce height) is accurate, and is the correct value for the torchyou have. If the touch off sequence is wrong, so will be the value the Auto Learn sets.DO NOT USE THE SMART-KUT Feature until you have the torch cutting correctly usingpresets and it is touching off correctly EVERY TIME! SMART KUT will not compensatefor not having the system setup and working correctly!PAGE 34
