ArcGlide THC Instruction Manual 806450 167
3–Operation
Positive cut angle: torch too high; decrease cut height.
A slight variation in cut angles may be normal if the variation is within tolerance.
Step 6: Is the cutting speed set too fast or too slow?
Adjust cutting speed as needed.
Cutting speed may also impact your dross levels.
High-speed dross: The cutting speed is too fast and the arc lags behind. Reduce the cutting speed.
Low-speed dross: The cutting speed is too slow and the arc shoots ahead. Increase the cutting speed.
Top spatter: The cutting speed is too fast, reduce the cutting speed.
In addition to speed, both material chemistry and surface finish can impact dross levels. When the workpiece heats
up, more dross may form on subsequent cuts.
Step 7: Are there problems with the gas delivery system?
Identify and repair any leaks or restrictions.
Use properly sized regulators and gas lines.
Use pure, high-quality gas.
If manual purge is required, such as with the MAX200, confirm that the purging cycle was completed.
Consult the gas distributor.
Step 8: Is there torch vibration?
Verify that the torch is securely attached to the table gantry.
Consult the table manufacturer, your table may require maintenance.
Step 9: Does the table need to be tuned?
Check and ensure that the table is cutting at the specified speed.
Consult the table manufacturer; the table speed may need tuning.
