How to use CNC plasma cutting machine for beginners?

When you are first introduced to metalworking, it can be overwhelming. To become truly proficient in metalworking, you need to learn a lot of principles and practices ...... You will need to master a number of machines and tools, including a plasma cutter. Getting started with a plasma cutter can be a daunting task. Not only do you have to consider the technical aspects of using the machine, but you also have to consider safety precautions. Plasma cutters are easy to use and very convenient. Using a plasma cutter increases productivity and reduces cutting costs. Let's take a step-by-step look at how the plasma cutter guide should be used correctly to help you increase efficiency, extend the life of your equipment, and improve the quality of your cuts.

1.What is CNC plasma cutting machine and how does it work?

CNC plasma cutting machine is a kind of automatic cutting tool that utilizes the power of high-speed plasma arc to cut metal, which is characterized by simple use, convenient operation, high precision and shengchanxiaolgao. It is widely used in metal processing industry, such as automobile, locomotive, chemical machinery, nuclear industry, general machinery, construction machinery and steel structure and other fields. Modern CNC plasma cutting machine is driven by CNC controller, which can realize automatic arc pointing, and the success rate of arc pointing is more than 99%. The CNC control system supports all kinds of design software, and can also use USB flash disk to exchange cutting files, which is very convenient to operate.

2. Preparation before operating the CNC plasma cutting machine

(1)Before turning on the power to the CNC plasma cutting machine, you must check that all switches are in the off position and that the rear rotary switch is in the horizontal position.

(2)Before turning on the machine, turn on the power of the main switchgear so that the two cables are energized.

(3)Move the circuit breaker in the electrical cabinet of the CNC plasma cutter to the ON position.

(4)Use the key switch to turn on the system control power, at this time the main interface of the display should appear.

(5)Rotate the rotary switch on the rear of the plasma power supply 90° to the vertical position and the unit's power indicator light will illuminate.

(6)Turn on the air compressor (compressor flow rate of 1m3 / min), adjust the air compressor pressure control switch, so that the compressor output air pressure of 6.1-8.2Bar.

(7)After connecting the machine (be sure to connect the safety ground wire), check carefully, if everything is normal, you can proceed to the next step.

(8)Close the power switch to supply power to the machine.

Note: The input AC current must not be too low or the machine will not work properly. At the same time, check whether the fan in the machine is in accordance with the regulations, otherwise the phase of the input power should be adjusted until the rotation direction is the same.

(9)Place the "Power Switch" in the "ON" position. At this time, the "Power Indicator" lights up. However, the "phase shortage indicator" should not light up, otherwise it means that there is a phase shortage in the three-phase power supply, which should be checked and solved.

Note: If the safety ground wire is not properly connected to the main unit, the Phase Out Indicator may show incorrect results.

3. How to use the plasma cutting machine correctly?

(1)Put the plate to be cut on the worktable at a suitable position, the plate can not touch the track.

(2)Compile the program according to the drawing or software, cut the empty car if necessary, and check whether the programming is accurate.

(3)When cutting, start the plasma cutting machine first, find the entry point, adjust the cutting parameters, turn on the gas source, start the plasma cutting machine, and input the program to control the cutting.

(4)When cutting, it is strictly prohibited to stand on the cutting board and frame guide rail, and shall not interfere with the electrical components and transmission components.

(5)Often keep the transmission frame, guide rail and transmission steel belt clean to ensure the accuracy of operation.

(6)Special attention should be paid to the cleaning and maintenance of the console, processing and programming should be carried out under the guidance and assistance of professional and technical personnel.

(7)When using the crane to lift the plates, the crane operation and the ground (hook) operation safety technology operation procedures should be strictly observed and closely cooperated.
