sc-3000 2.06 Application and System Description The SC-3000 height control system enables a precise clearance control of plasma and oxyfuel torches on cutting machines. Using this height control system leads to high quality results when cutting with or without the influence of water. The SC-3000 system automatically controls the distance between the plasma torch and the metal sheet.
sc-3000 Movement of Torch The vertical torch movement for initial position finding and clearance control is handled using the SC3000- LINEAR DRIVE. The built in electronics in this LINEAR DRIVE processes all control signals from the CNC and the plasma arc voltage for height control. The Electronic Enclosure connects to the CNC-machine control, to the plasma sources for receiving the plasma arc voltage and connects to the OPERATOR TERMINAL.

SC-3000 For vertical mounting at the cutting machine. Optionally 4 screws M6 DIN 912 (drill hole dimensions 70x270 mm) or 4 screws M8 DIN 912 (drill hole dimensions 100x270 mm) can be used to fix the Linear Drive from the front.
SC-3000 LINEAR DRIVE - ADJUSTMENT OF WEIGHT COMPENSATION This feature enables the adjustment of minimum vertical downward force when the nozzle touches the work piece while getting the initial position. The plasma torch must be mounted, the cable and the hose package must be clamped. The cable and hoses outside must be flexible so the sliding part of the LINEAR DRIVE is not hindered. If the drive is hindered from moving, do not secure the cables and hoses in the clamp. If necessary use an extended bracket.
SC-3000 LINEAR DRIVE - CHECK OF COLLISION PROTECTION 1. Push the torch clamp out of it’s normal position until the recess is left and release it again. Check: The torch must return into correct vertical direction. 2. If the torch doesn’t safely return into the vertical direction then check that the hose does not hindered the deflection. If necessary correct the position of the hose. However if the torch does not move exactly to the vertical direction then increase the deflection loading force: 3.
SC-3000 CAUTION Caution must be exercised to protect the bellows. Inspect for inward folds as these will cause premature wear. Damaged bellows must be replaced as infiltrating dust can cause damage to the drive.

ARC Voltage Cutting height will be set via arc voltage setting. This mode can be used for test cuts. Example: 130.0 V 2. Cutting Height Cutting height will be directly set in mm. This is the standard operation mode. Example: 2.

SC-3000 Enable Ignition Plasma • Originally intended to start the plasma, now used to start preflow while finding height when that feature is enabled (Operator Terminal Preflow set to non-zero) Separate Ignition Plasma • Signal activates Start relay on PCB to supply isolated Start to plasma. OK to Move-PS (plasma) • Signal from plasma indicating arc transfer has occurred. Is routed directly to the THC and indirectly to CNC controller via OK to Move relay on PCB .
SC-3000 Operation Sequence: Assumes SW2, OK Source switch, on enclosure PCB set to “B” its factory default position. 1. CNC Start to THC Initial Position Start input. a. If Preflow on THC terminal is set to zero the Torch moves to find plate then moves to pierce height. b. If Preflow is not zero Enable Ignition Plasma becomes active starting preflow via the plasma’s Preflow On input (Refer to section 4.10 for more details).Torch moves to find the plate then moves to pierce height. 2.
SC-3000 7. End of Cut a. The SC3000 requires 3 things happen to recognize the cut has ended. • Start signal (Initial Position Start) from the CNC is removed. • Cutting arc has ended (Ok to Move at Ready input is removed). • Plasma Power supply output voltage reduces to a % of the normal cutting voltage set by the End of Cut parameter (default 85%). 8. Retract a. Following the end of cut the torch retracts to clear tipped up parts while moving to the next cut position.

SC-3000 4.10 PROCEDURE WITH GAS PRE-FLOW Advantage: The time of gas-pre-flow after reaching the piercing position is eliminated and the cutting cycle is shortened significantly. Preflow during Height Finding To use Preflow during Height Finding with an Ultracut or Autocut plasma system the 2 wires of the Preflow Control cable from SC3000’s J5 Preflow connector is connected into TB2-3 &4, polarity doesn’t matter, in the Ultracut or Autocut CCM module.

SC-3000 4.11 SC 3000 Torch Height Control (THC) Modes of Operation SC 3000 Torch Height Control (THC) Modes of Operation Cutting Height Mode Normal operating method is to use Cut Height Mode where desired cutting height is set directly in inch or mm. This is somewhat different and easier to than most other height controls where you first have to determine the desired arc voltage. Refer to section 4.12 for details of setting the cutting parameters.
SC-3000 4.12 Parameter Setting Pierce Height • Initial height to which torch is positioned above the work piece during height finding process. Set in increments of 0.004” (0-1.000”) or tenths of mm (0-25.0mm). • Enter a height low enough for reliable transfer. Use Elevation Height to raise torch higher to complete pierce while minimizing blow back to the torch. Note Standard cut charts list Pierce Height as high as possible for height controls that don’t have Elevation Height.
SC-3000 Control Delay Often called AVC delay, this is time starting when torch is moved to cut height until THC starts controlling height to the sampled arc voltage. a. Delay before system starts controlling height using arc voltage. Set in tenths of second (0-10.0 sec). b. System finds surface of the metal then using an encoder for accuracy lifts the torch a measured distance to Pierce Height. Following Pierce Delay torch is moved to Cut Height using information from the encoder.
SC-3000 Gas Preflow Setting on Operator Terminal (OT) used for preflow during height finding. (See "Preflow during Height Finding" later in this section).When the Operator Terminal Preflow is set to zero plasma preflow will not start until THC has positioned torch at pierce height. Then gas flows for the full plasma preflow time, default setting is 2 sec.
SC-3000 Correct use of THC Pierce Delay and CNC Motion Delay. As shipped from the factory the SC-3000 Height Control Interface PCB in the SC-3000 Interface Enclosure should have SW2 set to the “B” position. In this case the OK to Move signal from the plasma supply indicating the cutting are is present (arc has transferred) is sent to both the SC-3000 and the CNC at the same time. • The CNC pierce or motion delay should be set to the minimum time necessary for the arc to fully pierce the metal.
SC-3000 SECTION 5 SYSTEM: SERVICE 5.01 General Maintenance All components are maintenance free. Cleaning housings: • Switch power off! • Dirt and grease may be removed using a cloth dampened with a mild detergent and water solution. • To prevent damage avoid using chemicals that contain benzine, toluene, xylene, acetone, or similar volatile solvents. Also avoid abrasive cleaners.

SC-3000 APPENDIX 2: GROUNDING A CUTTING MACHINE This information and recommendations which are described here should help to understand the importance of correct machine grounding Furthermore, all manufacturer installation instructions for cutting machines and plasma sources must be complied with. The accurate grounding of plasma cutting machines is one of the most important parts to ensure proper functioning.
sc-3000 PLASMA CURRENT RETURN PATH The plasma cutting current is generated by the plasma source. The current flows from the negative terminal to the torch, flows through the arc and the work piece to the cutting table. From the star point the current flows back to the positive terminal of the plasma source. To achieve a trouble-free operation, the impedance of the return path must be as small as possible.
