To use a different speed in testrun mode you can define a testrun speed with Set test-run speed

29 Job control Height Options Fig. 14: Height Options Function Height options (Fig. 14) Description With Height options you can define which type is used to set the cutting height. Generally it is possible to specify the "C2C" (contour to contour) height independent from the chosen option. Thereby the height will be determined, on which the Z-axis will operate between the sheets. The relative value will be specified, that means the axis will be lifted between these sheets with this value. Options Act Z Manual input Platethickness Once The Z-axis height will be at a fixed height. You can put in an absolute position which is used by the Z-axis for cutting height. The height will be read from the NC program or the CAM software. The focus shows the distance between nozzle and sheet. Input the cutting height and the C2C height, Z-axis will touch the sheet at the beginning of cutting process to adjust the height

30 Job control At pierce Plate comp Input the cutting height, the Z- axis will touch at each piercing to get the height. Input the cutting height, the sheet width and length and the number of points in X and Y direction. The machine will measure the distance on the whole sheet on the X and Y points and save them. After finishing measurement the machine will start cutting. Then the height will be compensated automatically. Sheet Angle Menu This panel is used to define the angle of the cut sheet. Fig. 15: Sheet angle option Options Use angle Set angle manually Use the actual angle. This angle is shown in the right corner. Set angle by defining the positions or direct input. There are three possible options: Move to positions (see Ä Move To Positions on page 31) Manual input (see Ä Manual Input on page 32) Set positions (see Ä Set Positions on page 33)
