Operation
Varying the gouge profile
You can vary the gouge profile and the metal removal rate by varying the speed of the torch over the workpiece, varying
the distance between the torch and the workpiece, varying the angle of the torch to the workpiece, and varying the
current output of the power supply.
The following actions have the stated effects on the gouge profile:
• Increasing the speed of the torch will decrease width and decrease depth.
• Decreasing the speed of the torch will increase width and increase depth.
• Increasing the standoff of the torch will increase width and decrease depth.
• Decreasing the standoff of the torch will decrease width and increase depth.
• Increasing the angle of the torch (more vertical) will decrease width and increase depth.
• Decreasing the angle of the torch (less vertical) will increase width and decrease depth.
• Increasing the current of the power supply will increase width and increase depth.
• Decreasing the current of the power supply will decrease width and decrease depth.
Cutting parameters
The cut charts for the MAXPRO200 show the consumable parts, cutting speeds, and the gas and torch settings required
for each process, allowing for differences in the lead length. These parameters are used for cutting with both mechanized
and handheld torches, the consumable part numbers listed with each cut chart are specific to mechanized torches. Refer
to Hand held torch consumables below for the consumables to use with handheld torches.
The cut chart values in this document are recommended to provide high quality cuts with minimal dross. Because of
differences between installations and material composition, adjustments may be required to obtain desired results.
Mechanized consumables
The consumable part numbers listed above each cut chart are specific to mechanized torches.
Hand held torch consumables
The following sets of consumables are intended to be used with handheld torches for cutting mild steel, stainless steel,
and aluminum. Use the cutting parameters detailed in the Cut charts for cutting with the MAXPRO200 handheld torches.
Use the following consumables for each process.
