The first 2 days of our workshops focus on Design Edge software specifically as it is used in plasma cutting. Attendees will start with settings; we will develop a full understanding of what each individual choice does, how it applies to your work, and when you might want to change it. We will spend time with each of the drawing and edit tools and the coordinate system so you can hone your skill to produce great cuts in metal whether it be for art or dimensioned parts.

A portion of the second day will be spent learning about the wiring and mechanics of the table itself which will come in handy should you need to troubleshoot problems with your machine! Then instruction will shift to an in-depth look at the powerful CAD capabilities in Design Edge and how to use them in your drawings to produce a top quality file that will give you better cuts and a top notch finished product. We will work on projects together to go from a picture to a cut ready file.

On the final day until lunch, we will build on the information we’ve covered and learn how tools can be used in combination, reference points can be established, and how to get the most out of your Advanced Design software. If you want to Make Money in Metal Art or Draw Dimensioned Parts Fast then this workshop is for you! After lunch on Saturday I will continue to help any that want to stay and practice or try new things but there won’t be any new material presented other than what comes up in discussion so if you need to go or are ready to call it a day, that will be at your leisure.

Our mission is to deliver skills and knowledge that significantly increase our course participants’ ability to set up, operate, and troubleshoot their PlasmaCAM equipment and software, thereby equipping them with the knowledge to successfully design and cut with their machine for hobby or business.

So before I start I want you guys to know that I am a newbie and I have very minimal knowledge of this system. Having said that I need your help on a few things.

So I am currently a senior in high school and our school has a PlasmaCAM DHC2 with the DesignEdge software and the basic height control. The system was purchased 3 years ago and I am the first one who has really dug in and tried to utilize the machine to its full potential. My school is pretty small so the metal technology teacher is the ag teacher. Our old teacher (who purchased the machine and was figuring out how to run it) retired and was replaced this year by a new teacher who had never taught a shop class, or ever used a welder before. Needless to say the entire shop is everyman for himself. Here are my main problems.
1.)SETTINGS
What settings should I be running on the plasmacutter. I have been cutting some 3/16 mild steel at 60 amps and 65ipm and then today I looked at the torch to check the consumables and I saw that there is a 40 amp drag tip installed. What should be on there for cutting 1/8' to 3/16' steel? Also what air pressure should I be running. There is no literature on this plasma cutter anywhere in the shop and from what I have found there isnt a really complete cut chart on TD's Website.
2.) HEIGHT CONTROL
Currently I have been just setting the height and been standing next to the machine manually raising and lowering the z axis to compensate for warped/ bent steel. (PITA!) As I said before this machine is running basic height control. I have done a little research in the last few days and I have found that this is an Ohmic sensor style cut height control. The cam has a wire running from the z axis motor to a spade connector that is just hanging there. I believe that that needs to get connected to the tip somehow (Is that correct). Does this need to be a special consumable set? If so part numbers would be greatly appreciated. I have looked at the settings for the THC and it calls for a x axis shift and an arc voltage number if I recall correctly. What do you guys usually run in these settings.

Sorry guys for the long post but I really need some guidance and I know this is the site to find it! I have seen what this machine is capable and I am really close to fully utilizing it. Any help is greatly appreciated.
THANKS!
