For a CNC plasma cutting machine to be efficent, it must be easy to use. Our new control system makes running the machine as easy as clicking the mouse - even a first time computer user can be cutting parts in no time. A full function, real-time, on screen interface lets the operator see exactly what is going on and gives complete control over the machine.
Basic controls
Large on screen buttons let you start, stop, pause, resume, and jog.
3 different ways to jog the torch
Jogging the torch can easily be done by selecting a spot on the work area, entering a co-ordinate, or by moving the torch to the location by holding the arrow keys. The jog speed is adjustable, and can also be set to continuous or fixed distance movement.
Cutting job information
As soon as you load your cutting file, the control software tells you how long the job will take, how long the cutting path is and how many pierces there are. This simple tool is great for job quoting.
Real-time toolpath
The real-time toolpath lets you see where you are during a cut job. The screen shows the complete drawing and where your plasma torch currently is cutting.
E-stop recovery
Continuing your cut job after an e-stop is now easier than ever. After an e-stop just simply follow the toolpath on the screen to where you want to continue from and the control software will automatically start from there.
Want to cut with Oxy/fuel too?
All G5 Fabricators and Exporters are oxy/fuel cutting ready. The controller contains relays for opening and closing gas solenoids and the software can be switched from plasma to oxy/fuel mode in one click. When the control software is in oxy/fuel mode, you can adjust your pre-heat time, piece time, and post-heat time.
