Abstract

See full text

A method of controlling a position of a plasma arc torch relative to a workpiece for a bevel cutting operation is provided that includes: calculating a bevel pivot length, which is a function of a torch height; piercing the workpiece with the plasma arc torch; rotating the plasma arc torch about its center of rotation to a desired cutting angle; translating the plasma arc torch along at least one of X, Y, and Z axes to maintain a torch center point; and translating the plasma arc torch along at least one of the X, Y and Z axes to achieve a resultant displacement along a longitudinal axis of the plasma arc torch to maintain a desired torch height.
