Figure 3.2.4.2.2 Plasma cutting parameters
1. Blowing time. The time for blowing before arc striking.
2. Perforation time. Time for perforation after completion of arc striking in order to ensure completion of
perforation.
3. Creep time. The time during which the equipment runs in creeping speed after perforation. The creeping
speed can be set in speed parameter interface and is shown as the percentage of the cutting speed. After the
creeping time, the equipment will accelerate to the set cutting speed.
4. Cut OFF time. The time for delay in closing after completing of cutting. When cutting completes, delay
in stop of cutting gas will maintain the cutting arc and enlarge width of cutting path, thus this parameter is used to
compensate the delay in stop. It is generally set to zero.
5. Full Torch up time. The torch rising time when no adjuster is used and local rising is invalid.
6. Partial Torch up time. The torch rising time when no adjuster is used and local rising is valid.
7. Torch down time. The time for torch dropping. If auto height control system is applied, this parameter
should be set to zero.
8. Torch up time. The time for torch rising. If auto height control system is applied, this parameter should
be set to zero.
9. Stop time. The time delay before stop after blowout of arc.
