B-63192EN/03 6.ASSIST GAS CONTROL
- 21 -
Control using the cutting condition setting function
The type and pressure of an assist gas to be used and the settling
time of the assist gas pressure can be controlled using the
registered cutting condition data.
G32 with L≠0 opens the shutter, and sends out the assist gas
selection signals and the assist gas pressure analog signal.
G32 with L=0 closes the shutter, and turns off the assist gas
selection signals and the assist gas pressure analog signal.
- Format
G32L- ;
L=0 : The shutter is closed, and the assist gas supply is
stopped.
L=1 : The shutter is opened, and the assist gas supply is
started according to cutting condition data.
L=2 : The shutter is opened, and the assist gas supply is
started according to piercing condition data.
This command uses the gas type, pressure, and settling time
specified as cutting condition data in E code format.
(See the description of the cutting condition setting function.)
