Vision 50P can run under two different modes: Operation Mode or Service Mode. The default mode is Operation
Mode and allows the operator to conduct all necessary operations. Service Mode is needed for service, such as
update station constant, diagnosis, etc. Some process parameters are displayed only under Service Mode. Ser-
vice Mode can be activated if a USB keyboard is plugged in or the key is turned to ‘0’ position.
In the front panel, there is a incremental potentiometer. If the operator does not have a keyboard, the two input
devices for Vision 50P are the incremental potentiometer and the touch screen. With this incremental poten-

The following signals are required between the remote/customer CNC to Vision 50P Control.
1. Select Cutting and Marking file from Vision 50P. Information will be saved in Vision 50P’s flash memo-
ry, after Vision 50P is powered on, those information will be loaded again. You don’t need to change
files again until you change nozzle, material, or material thickness.
2. Make sure No Height Control ( ) is ON (touch the screen or press ‘F2’). This informs Vision 50P
that there is No Height Control used.
3. The default mode is Cutting. Turn on Marking Mode if desired.
51
section 2 VISION 50P cnc WITH interface BOX
4. Turn on and hold ‘Cycle Start’ signal from customer CNC. After the piercing delay (about 100 msec),
check for ‘Motion Enable’ signal. If ‘Motion Enable’ signal is true, customer CNC can start motion.
5. Always check ‘Motion Enable’ signal during cutting/marking. If ‘Motion Enable’ signal turns OFF, arc
has been lost and CNC must remove ‘Cycle Start’. Vision 50P will automatically turn the plasma off if
arc is not detected after a delay time.
6. Remove ‘Cycle Start’ signal at the end of geometric motion during normal marking/cutting. During
hole-cutting, CNC should remove ‘Cycle Start’ before the end of geometry in order to improve the
roundness and overall quality. The pre-stop time depends upon the type of material, thickness, and
current.
7. Repeat (1)-(6) for the second part.
Make sure ‘No Height Control’ is OFF (press or press F2) to informs Vision 50P that operation needs
height control. This needs to be done only once because this information is saved in flash memory after Vision
50P is powered off. The following signals are required between the Remote CNC and Vision 50P.

3. The default mode is Cutting. Turn on Marking Mode if desired.
4. Turn on and hold ‘Cycle Start’ signal from customer CNC. After a short delay (about 100 msec), check
for ‘Motion Enable’ signal. If ‘Motion Enable’ signal is true, customer CNC can start motion. When a
constant speed is reached, remove the ‘Corner’ signal to activate automatic height control if arc volt-
age mode is selected. During corner or anytime the machine slows down, the ‘Corner’ signal must
be ON to prevent torch from diving inside corners.
5. Always check ‘Motion Enable’ signal during cutting/marking. If ‘Motion Enable’ signal turns OFF, arc
has been lost and CNC must remove ‘Cycle Start’. Vision 50P will automatically turn plasma off if arc
is not detected after a delay time.
6. Remove ‘Cycle Start’ signal at the end of geometric motion during normal marking/cutting. During
hole-cutting, CNC should remove ‘Cycle Start’ before the end of geometry in order to improve the
roundness and overall quality. The pre-stop time depends upon the type of material, thickness, and
current.
7. Repeat (1)-(6) for the second part.

During cutting small holes, parts are falling down before the geometry cutting is completed, the arc may not be
detected. Button or ‘F8’ in Process Screen can turn the cut loss signal on or off. If this button is ON, it
will ignore any cut loss after the arc is established; but for normal cutting, this button should be OFF.

2.9.1 Introduction
The intent of this section is to provide the information necessary to produce good hole quality when using the
plasma process. This capability is becoming more of a necessity as customers begin to expect more and more
from the plasma process. There are several different areas which have to be addressed to obtain the required
results. These areas are height control, good speed regulation via the motion device, a power supply capable of
providing stable current output at all amperages, and a good programming package which allows you to pro-
gram the needed arc lead in and lead out segments. Each one of these areas will be discussed individually.
Height control can be broken down into three separate areas. It is very important to understand how each of
these areas affect the overall hole quality.
The first area is the encoder height control. This control sets three separate heights that are critical to the opera-
tion.
The first area is initial height. This is the height above the work piece, in inches, the torch is set to establish the
correct height for the pilot arc to transfer to main cutting height.
The second area that the encoder height control is set to is the pierce height, which is the height the torch rises
to after the main arc transfer. This setting is used to protect the nozzle and shield from any material blow back
as a result of the main arc transfer.

causes what is referred to as a positive cut angle. Decreasing the stand off physically lowers the torch, causing
the voltage to be lower, thus producing a negative cut angle. The definition of a positive cut angle is one where
the top of the hole is a wider diameter than the bottom diameter. The definition of a negative cut angle is one
in which the top diameter of the hole is smaller than the diameter of the bottom of the hole
Description
The encoder cutting height controls the straightness of the side wall, which helps make the top and bottom di-
ameter of the hole the same dimension. If cutting holes with diameters 2.00" (50.8mm) and smaller, the encoder

The cutting machine must have good speed regulation. For years, it has been assumed that when you are cut-
ting small holes, it was necessary to reduce the cutting speed from the normal speed when cutting a larger part.
The general rule is to reduce the cutting speed by 50% of normal travel speed. An example would be if cutting
0.50” (12.7mm) thick carbon steel at 100ipm (2540mmpm), then a 0.50” (12.7mm) diameter hole would be 50ipm
(1270mmpm). This is just a starting point. It may be necessary to reduce the cutting speed even lower.
When attempting to cut small holes it is necessary to reduce the cutting speed. This reduction in speed helps
control the roundness of the hole. Most machines have difficulty in trying to cut holes at high speed. This is
because of the mass and weight of the machine. The inertia of the machine wants to sling the torch around
thus producing an oblong or an oval hole. In addition, slowing the machine down also helps improve the wall
straightness.
It is very important that the machine design has minimum backlash. Any unwanted movement will show up in
the cut quality.
To summarize: The speed at which the hole is cut contributes to the roundness of the hole.
57

All of the power supplies ESAB manufactures today are referred to constant current devices. Unlike the power
supplies of yesterday, these units are capable of sustaining a constant current output at any cutting voltage,
providing they are within the design specification of that unit. The CNC controls of today interact with these
power supplies and are capable of remotely controlling current output from these units. In addition, because of
the remote capability, the control can regulate current output in the beginning, during the cut, and at the end.
In many cases when cutting small diameter holes, complete current control is required to control hole quality,
especially at the completion of the cut. In addition, all of ESAB power supplies for mechanized plasma applica-
tions are designed for 100% duty cycles. This means continuous operation 60 minutes per hour.

The M57 command will do two things. First, if there is no encoder height control, it will simply
M57 freeze the voltage height control. Second, it can be used to enable the encoder height control
by placing the M57 before the M65 (plasma on command).
F The “F” can be inserted to call a different feedrate (e.g F50.0) that will enhance hole quality.
“Flying Off” - This code will shut off the plasma at the point it is inserted in the program without
M174 stopping machine motion. This function will not utilize the current ramp down, current off value
and gas off delay parameters.
This depends on the size of the hole. A straight lead in works well in most cases versus a radius lead in which
works well on mostly larger holes. This can be seen in the illustrations below. The green path is the programmed
path and the red path is the torch path. Look at where paths intersect on the radius lead in illustration. This area
usually leaves a flat spot or hump. This can be attributed to the arc expanding as it travels into the previous cut
path. The straight lead in has a much smaller previous cut path therefore reducing the flat spot.
