Assist gas
If assist gas switching is to occur during piercing for edge creation, bit
4 of parameter No. 15004 can be used to specify whether to output the
laser beam during assist gas setting time.
If assist gas switching is not to occur, specify 0 at assist gas selection
or select the same assist gas data as for machining.
If, in the process of assist gas switching at the start of piercing for
edge machining, at the start of the subsequent return distance cutting,
and at the start of start-up machining, the specified assist gas setting
time is to be ignored when the gas type and gas pressure defined with
the specified edge selection number and start-up selection number are
the same as those for cutting, set bit 3 of parameter No. 15011 to 1.
If machining is to be performed with the assist gas output conditions
defined with the specified edge selection number and start-up
selection number instead of the assist gas output conditions during
return distance cutting in edge machining and start-up machining, set
bit 0 of parameter No. 15011 to 1.
If bit 0 of parameter No.15011 and bit 3 of parameter No. 15011 are
set at the same time, the setting of parameter No. 15011 takes effect.
The setting of bit 3 is ignored.
Override
Override is applied to the following items.
1 Return speed
2 Return peak value
3 Return frequency
4 Return duty cycle
Tracing control
During edge machining tracing control, a value specified for
machining is made effective as the standard shift.
Single-block stop and dry run
The edge machine function does not work for single-block stop and
dry run.
Other settings for machining
If material remains to be cut near a corner in edge machining, set bit 2
of parameter No. 15007 to 1. The situation may improve. If you want
to perform edge machining even in the exact stop mode, set bit 4 of
parameter No. 15007 to 1.
To make the edge machine function and the arc-radius-based feedrate
clamp function usable at the same time, set bit 7 of parameter No.
15010 to 1.
