Torch Alignment Guide for Bevel Cutting

Powermax125 / MAXPRO200 Field Service Bulletin 811280 3

Introduction

Purpose

This Field Service Bulletin shows how to use the Hypertherm torch alignment guide accessory to do

bevel cutting on a track burner with a Powermax125 or a MAXPRO200.

Tools and materials needed

3/16 inch hexagonal key wrench

Digital level, or digital level application on a smartphone

Remote start pendant for the plasma cutting system if the track burner cannot start and stop

the plasma torch

Kit 528077 contents

Kit 528077 contains only the torch alignment guide and this Field Service Bulletin. Refer to

Figure 1.

WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL

Disconnect electrical power before doing installation or maintenance.

The line-disconnect switch must REMAIN in the OFF position until all

installation or maintenance steps are complete.

See the Safety and Compliance Manual (80669C) for more safety

information.

WARNING

EXPLOSION HAZARD – CUTTING WITH FLAMMABLE OR OXIDIZING GASES

Do not use flammable or oxidizing gases with Powermax systems. These gases can cause

explosive conditions during plasma cutting operations.

An example of an oxidizing gas is oxygen. Examples of flammable gases are acetylene,

propylene, methane, and pure hydrogen. Refer to the Safety and Compliance Manual

(80669C) for more information.

Assemble the torch alignment guide

Before you use the torch alignment guide, attach the vertical piece to the horizontal piece .

Use the 2 screws given in the kit.

Use the torch alignment guide to put the torch in position for bevel cutting

This procedure gives general instructions for any track burner. The pictures show one example from

a common track burner. Your configuration can be different.

Hypertherm recommends that you use a track burner that is compatible with plasma cutting so that

you can get the best bevel cut results at the specified cut speeds. Use a remote start pendant for

the plasma cutting system if the track burner cannot start and stop the plasma torch.

1. Set the power to OFF (O) for the track burner and the plasma power supply.

2. Select the parameters to use for the metal thickness and the correct bevel cut angle. Use the

Powermax125 and MAXPRO200 Bevel compensation cut charts on page 11.

3. Put the torch alignment guide

on the workpiece to be cut.

Put the track down so that

it is touching the guide.

4. Examine both ends of the

track and different points in

between to make sure that

the track is touching the end

of the alignment guide. Also

make sure that the track is

parallel to the edge of the

plate.

5. When the track and the torch

alignment guide are in

position, engage the locking

mechanism on the track to

attach the track to the

workpiece. This mechanism is

different on different tracks.

Some tracks use magnets

as the locking mechanism, as

shown in this example.

6. Attach the track burner

tractor to the track. Connect

the cables for the track

burner and for the plasma

power supply. Refer to the

manufacturer instructions for

each system.

7. Adjust the X-axis arm to be approximately in the center of the tractor. Use the horizontal racker

control knob or equivalent control on your tractor.

8. Install the correct cutting consumables on the machine torch. Refer to the Powermax125 and

MAXPRO200 Bevel compensation cut charts on page 11.

9. Loosen the knobs or fasteners on the torch holder, as necessary. Put the torch in the holder and

tighten.

10. If there is a cable mount, make sure that the torch lead is correctly installed and tightened in the

cable mount.

11 . Loosen the control lever for the angle of the torch. Adjust the angle to 0°, or make sure that the

torch is squarely aligned to the workpiece. Tighten the control lever.

12. Loosen the control lever for the torch bevel angle. Adjust the torch to the correct bevel angle to

align with the settings from the bevel compensation cut charts.

a. Use a digital level to make sure that the angle of the torch is correct. If you have a

smartphone, you can also use a digital level application. In the following pictures, the digital

level is used to make sure that the torch is set to a 45° angle.

b. When the torch bevel angle is correct, tighten the control lever.

Digital level Digital level application on a smartphone

13. Move the torch alignment guide so that the correct torch clearance gauge is in front of the

torch.

One torch clearance gauge is for Air/Air processes. The other gauge is for O2/Air

processes (MAXPRO200 only). Refer to Figure 1 on page 4.

Make sure that you keep the torch alignment guide on the edge of the workpiece .

Powermax125 / MAXPRO200 Field Service Bulletin 811280 9

14. Use the bevel compensation cut charts to

find the correct edge offset value to use

for the torch clearance. Clearance is the

distance between the torch and the top of

the workpiece.

15. Put the torch clearance gauge in the

correct position, as follows:

a. Loosen the set screw .

b. Align the inside of the torch clearance

gauge with the correct position on the

ruler. Move the gauge higher or lower

on the guide, as necessary. The

position to use on the ruler is the edge

offset value from step 14.

c. For example, in the picture shown ,

the torch clearance gauge is set to an

edge offset of 1.5 inches.

d. When the torch clearance gauge is in

the correct position, tighten the set

screw.

16. Move the torch closer to the torch

clearance gauge, as follows:

a. Move the torch horizontally, as

necessary. Use the horizontal racker control knob or equivalent control on your tractor.

b. Move the torch vertically, as necessary. Loosen the knobs on the torch holder. Move the

torch closer to the torch clearance gauge and tighten the knobs.

c. If there is a torch height control knob or similar mechanism, use that to move the torch in

very small increments, as necessary. Adjust the torch height until the torch consumables

touch the torch clearance gauge.

d. Make sure that the tip of the torch is touching the torch clearance gauge and is

approximately perpendicular to the gauge, as shown.

17. Remove the torch alignment guide from the workpiece.

18. Move the tractor as necessary until the torch consumables are centered on the edge of the

workpiece, as shown.

Start to cut

1. Set the power to ON (I) for the track burner and for the plasma power supply.

2. Use the bevel compensation cut charts to find the following values for the bevel cut:

Adjust the pierce delay setting on the tractor to use the correct pierce delay value from the

cut chart. Use the timer control knob or equivalent control on your tractor.

Adjust the speed of the tractor to use the correct cut speed value from the cut chart. Use

the speed control knob or equivalent control on your tractor.

Adjust the plasma power supply to use the correct current (A) value from the cut chart. Use

the amperage control knob on the front of the plasma power supply.

3. You are now ready to make the bevel cut. Can the track burner control both the tractor and the

plasma torch?

If yes, start the tractor to start both the plasma arc and the tractor motion.

If no, start the tractor and the plasma torch at the same time. Use a remote start pendant to

start the plasma arc.

4. Make sure that the plasma arc transfers to the workpiece and that the tractor starts the forward

motion.

5. At the end of the cut, stop the tractor as soon as the plasma arc extinguishes, if the tractor does

not stop automatically.
