Cut Charts

Overview

The cut charts in this manual are for reference purposes. See the electronic cut charts that are on
your CNC or web interface for the most reliable process-selection options.

 Graphics in this section are for reference only.

Hypertherm’s cut charts are designed to give the best quality with minimal dross. However, because
of differences in cutting system installations and materials, it can be necessary to adjust the settings
to get the results that you want.

 If you have questions about how to make adjustments to process settings


and consumable choices, contact your cutting machine supplier or
regional Hypertherm Technical Service team.

Pierce delay time


The pierce delay times that are in the cut charts are estimated with moderately worn consumables. If
your consumable parts have more or less wear, it can be necessary to adjust the settings to get the
results that you want.

 Consumables naturally deteriorate and become worn from use. As this


occurs, the time necessary to pierce the workpiece increases.

XPR Instruction Manual 809830 11


Cut Charts

Pierce height and transfer height


For most processes, the torch transfers the arc to the workpiece from the pierce height and then
moves to cut height after the pierce-delay time expires. For some of the thickest materials that can
be pierced, the transfer height is used to position the torch closer to the workpiece. This creates a
more reliable arc. After arc transfer, the torch moves to pierce height for piercing, followed by cut
height for cutting.

Kerf compensation
All cut charts include kerf compensation values. You can use these values with a controller to offset
the cut path and produce a part to the desired size. The kerf compensation values that are in the cut
charts are estimated with new consumables. If your consumable parts have more wear, it may be
necessary to change the kerf compensation setting to get the results you want.

Cut category
Use the cut category in the cut charts to help you choose the process that matches your needs for
cut quality and speed based on material type and thickness.

 Edge starts are recommended for processes that have a cut category of 4
or 5.

Arc voltage
The arc voltage that is in the cut charts is for reference and estimated on an average cutting system
configuration. Lead length can affect actual arc voltage. If the leads for your XPRTM cutting system
are shorter or longer than average, it can be necessary to adjust the settings to get the results that
you want.

HyDefinition® inox (HDi) vented processes


Cut charts for HyDefinition vented processes are developed on SAE grade 304L stainless steel.
When cutting other grades of stainless steel, adjustments can be necessary to get the best cut
quality.

 If you decide that it is necessary to adjust a pre-programmed setting, use


offset commands to make incremental changes to the original value.
Manual selection of process settings is not recommended.

Cut charts for HyDefinition vented processes are listed by amperage.

Cut Charts

How to use cut charts

Electronic cut charts are available on the cut chart screen of your CNC or XPR web interface.

 For information about how to find electronic cut charts, see the instruction
manual that came with your CNC.

Hard copy cut charts are available in this manual. They start on page 18.

 The cut charts in this manual are for reference purposes. Always use the
electronic cut charts that appear on your CNC or XPR web interface for
the most complete and accurate process-selection information.

Standard-position cutting, marking, and piercing cut charts


Use the cut charts for guidance about process selection, especially if the default process ID
settings are not satisfactory for your application.

 The pre-programmed settings that come with a process ID are designed


to give the best balance between quality and productivity with
consumables that are in average condition.

The results that you want from a process can influence process selection. In some cases, cut quality
is important. In other cases, speed is important. Often, the best choice balances these
requirements. (See Process selection on page 17.)

Process core thickness (PCT)


The cut chart for every cutting process contains a range of possible thicknesses. Process engineers
work to optimize a range of thicknesses (usually in the middle of the overall range of thicknesses).
This optimized range is called the process core thicknesses (PCT). Thicknesses greater and less
than the PCT can have varied results relative to cut quality, cut speed, and piercing capability.

Process categories
The XPR cut charts have up to 5 process categories. Each category has a unique process category
number (1 – 5) that correlates to the performance that you can expect when you select this
process. The process category number for the process that you choose changes the quality-speed
balance.

For best results, Hypertherm recommends that you select process category number 1 whenever
possible. Category 1 represents an optimized thickness (or PCT) for that cut process with the
overall best balance of cut quality and cut speed.

Table 1 on page 15 describes the results that you can expect with different process category
numbers.

XPR Instruction Manual 809830 13


Cut Charts

Bevel cutting
All consumable processes are capable of up to 52º bevel cuts. Choose bevel cutting settings (such
as speed) from the cut chart, based on the effective thickness of the actual bevel cut through the
material.

 It can be necessary to compensate the arc voltage, based on the actual


effective cut height and thickness.

For the best bevel-cutting results, Hypertherm recommends the use of its True Bevel technology.
With True Bevel technology, you get the cutting settings designed for the desired bevel angles and
part sizes. For more information, see True Bevel technology – XPR bevel compensation charts
(809890) and Torch geometry for bevel cutting on page 104.

 Hypertherm recommends a clearance of 2.5 mm (0.098 in.) between the


torch and the workpiece during bevel cutting.

Arc voltage
Arc voltages provided in the cut charts are for reference only. Actual arc voltages will vary with
system configuration.

14 809830 Instruction Manual XPR


Cut Charts

Pierce settings
Pierce settings in the cut charts are based on standard-position torch angles (at a 90º angle to the
workpiece).

• Expect cut speeds that are faster than
3,810 mm/min (150 in/min).
• Dross-free results in most cases.

Category 4 Edge Start Only • Edge start is required. Good Low


• Thick, low-speed dross is likely.

Category 5 Severance • This is the maximum thickness for these Very low Very low

• Edge start is required.
• Expect cut speeds that are slower than
250 mm/min (10 in/min).
• Cut-edge quality can be rough.
• Expect significant dross.

 In general, Hypertherm recommends lower amperage processes for the


best cut-edge quality, and higher amperage processes for the best
dross-free cutting. When speed is more important than quality use a
higher-amperage process. See the cut charts for guidance.

 In general, Hypertherm recommends dross-free processes. Non-ferrous


dross is very difficult to remove. Depending on the gas-connect console,
the XPR cutting system offers the following non-ferrous cutting
processes: Air/Air, N2/N2, N2/H2O, F5/N2 and mixed-fuel gas/N2. See the
Cut Charts for guidance.

16 809830 Instruction Manual XPR


Cut Charts

Process selection

All of the XPR cutting processes have a unique process identification (process ID) number. Each
process ID aligns with a specific set of pre-programmed values in the cut chart database in the
plasma power supply memory.

Processes in the database can be selected by:


 Material type and thickness
 Cutting current
 Plasma and shield gas types
 Process category

When you select a process ID from the CNC or the Operate screen in the XPR web interface, the
cutting system automatically activates the pre-programmed settings for that process based on the
values in the database.

On-screen lists of process options let you select, monitor, and control processes directly from the
CNC or the Operate screen in the XPR web interface.

Manual selection of process settings is not necessary in most cases. However, you can adjust some
pre-programmed settings with override or offset commands, within limits. For information about how
to do this, refer to the instruction manual that came with your XPR cutting system.

How to use process IDs to access optimal settings


When you select a process ID from the CNC or XPR web interface, you automatically get the
optimized settings that Hypertherm recommends for that process.

The pre-programmed settings come from Hypertherm’s extensive laboratory tests. Because of
differences in cutting systems, materials, and consumables, it is sometimes necessary to adjust the
settings. However, in most cases, you can expect the best results when you use the default settings
that come with a process ID.

Torch geometry for bevel cutting

The XPR consumable parts are designed to maintain a nearly-constant tool center point. Torch
length and shield-face diameter vary with cutting current, as shown in Table 3.

Refer to Table 3 to see the bevel geometry that you can expect with XPR torches during ferrous
(mild steel) and non-ferrous (stainless steel/aluminum) consumables.
