New User Interface

New User Interface


As a running change, later-model series-II Pulsar and Altair machines and all series III
machines have a different user interface than the previous units had. The new user interface consists of a revised set of physical controls (knobs, buttons, etc.) and software
(display screens and related programming). The macroexecutor, which may be mentioned elsewhere in this document, is part of the package of hardware and software that
the user sees as the maghines control system.
The change in user interface does not require any change in programming techniques.
Programs which run correctly on a series II machine should still run fine on a comparably equipped series III machine.

New Overrides
The over-ride operation panel switch on the operation panel was removed. Instead, the
operation is performed through a dialogue macro on the custom screen. Only while the
condition display of cut condition (half screen) is displayed, over-ride operation can be
performed. The past operation panel switch and the dialogue macro screen are as follows:

Macro Override Dialogue


Explanation of each switch
All operation switches for dialogue macro have been assigned to the function keys on the
lower part of NC screen. Therefore, over-ride operations for dialogue macro are all performed by these function keys.
Return: It is used to return to the usual cut condition menu.
Cancel: It is used to return the over-ride completely to the usual function.
1/10: It is used to make the magnification of the over-ride 1/10.
(Duty cannot be used as usual)
Up: It is used to increase the magnification of the over-ride.
Down: It is used to decrease the magnification of the over-ride.
Speed: It is selected to change the speed of the over-ride.
Output: It is selected to change the output of the over-ride.
Frequency: It is selected to change the frequency of the over-ride.
Duty: It is selected to change the duty of the over-ride.
Gas pressure: It is selected to change the gas pressure of the over-ride.
(when controlling NC gas pressure)
1. *Only one of Speed, Output, Frequency, Duty, and Gas pressure can be selected. After
turning off the power, the item currently being selected remains.
*Over-ride, data setting, effective switch are not included the current dialogue macro.

Add the macro variable #915 to set the upper limit value of Pierce Time.

Setup
Set range

0.1 ~ 99.9 (sec)

If a value is set 0 or less, or more than 99.9, the upper limit value will be used (99.9)
When this value is set, please turn the CNC OFF. (Revised values loaded on power-up)

How to set
The value can be set on the Macro Variable display of the CNCs OFFSET display.
Use the OFFSET/SETTING key so that the OFFSET, SETING, WORK soft keys are visible (See figure 1 below). Press the + soft key to display the MACRO, OPR, and (OPRT)

New version number: D16-2H - D16-21

Items changed:
1. Soft key function for over-ride was added.
Refer to the attached operation manual for dialogue macro over-ride function operation for
FS16-LB.
2. Data with power pierce used were changed to macro variables
The reference value of the gap height for twice cut was changed from the gap amount of
E103 to #909 in clean/aluminum and to #908 in other cases. It was changed in such a way
to be able to change the new reference value and the old one at #918 (0: New reference
value, 1: Old reference value).
Refer to the attached power pierce condition table.
Changed programs: 09025, 09930
3. Gas is output in proportion to the amount of macro variables by the condition switch.
Program conditions are set at #14300.
#14300=0: Program starts
#14300=1: cut with cut conditions (E1~E9, punch pierce)
#14300=2: cut with scribing condition
Execute the setting value dual of macro variable #912 after pierce gas switch when starting
and #904 when from cut to scribe and from scribe to cut
Changed programs: 09023LB, 09923LB, 09924LB, 09925LB, 09926LB
4. Gas output during piercing
The spec was changed so that gas is still output even if the nozzle height is higher than the
height of gas ejection when piercing . It was changed so that gas is forcibly output when
R1326.0=0 during piercing and the duel is executed only during the time set at macro variable #913.
Changed programs: 09023LB, 09923LB, 09924LB, 09925LB, )9926LB
5. Calculation in OVS 2 hole measurement, correction function was changed.
In hole measurement, when the second hole is minus in the Y direction than the first hole,
it is reversed by 180 degree. It was changed so that it wont be reversed.
Changed programs: 09140LB
6. The macro variable used at G117 macro without ?.
The variables used inside were changed to #916 and #917.
Changed programs: 09117
7. The correction calculation when the approach is minus at G114 is corrected.

Transaction with PMC


In the usual over-ride operation, each over-ride of PMC ladder is calculated. The data are
read into G address (G12, G223, G228, G220, G229) and are displayed by the dialogue
macro.
After the present change, the calculation of over-ride is performed by the dialogue
macro. The data are transferred to R address (R1345, R1346, R1347, R1348, R1349) and
then are renewed to PMC ladder.

Nozzle Standoff and Focus settings


This concerns the Pulsar/Altair/Delta series of machines when using the HS-95 Capacitive
Sensor System, and especially with motorized focus

Focus Height
Focus height (depth) can strongly affect the cutting process, in terms of kerf width, dross
adhesion, and power required. It can also affect the taper of the cut edge, heat-affected zone, and
other factors.
To set up a new lens, the nozzle gap is set to 0.060 inch (Approx. 1.5 mm) from the surface of
the material. Test cuts are made on 18 or 16 gauge CRS, and the cut with the narrowest kerf is
assumed to be focused at the surface of the material. For systems with the programmable focus
system, the focus base height is then known for that particular lens.

Nozzle Gap
The HS-95 system normally adjusts nozzle gap each time an E-code is selected. Commonly cut
materials use gaps from .020 to .080 inch. When gap is changed, the entire head moves up or
down with respect to the material surface. THIS CHANGES THE FOCUS POINT.

Piercing of mild steel plate


Ramping Pierce
This is the standard piercing technique for Pulsar/Altair/Delta machines.
The shutter is opened at an initial duty cycle and frequency, and the duty and frequency
are incremented for a certain number of times, or until a time limit has expired.
If too much power is applied, a blowout may occur. If not enough power or time is used,
the material will not be fully pierced, and will blow out when cutting is attempted.

Formulas:

If you experience blowouts when piercing, first determine which phase of piercing the blowout
