Profile Multi-torch Cut Path creates a multi-torch cutting path for profile geometries with the same shape that are located in the Y direction along a line (that is, they have the same X coordinate). This command enables you to cut multiple torches at once for profiles (for example, holes).

Multi-torch Cut Path is on the Cut Profiles drop-down menu.

The tools of the frame are grouped as follows:

  1. Tool.

  2. Options.

  3. Actions.

  4. Used multi-torch parameters (figure below).

Tool

The group contains three sub-modes: Select Master, Distances, and Cut Path.

Select Master

The sub-mode for selecting master profiles selection. You activate a master profile by clicking it or selecting it in the activation box. N holes, which are supposed to be cut with the same burner arrangement, are usually selected in the X direction.

Distances

The sub-mode for defining multi-torch distances. You can activate N holes in the Y direction for the first profile selected in the previous using Select Master. Activation is possible by activating with activation box or by clicking.

Cut Path

The sub-mode for creating a multi-torch cut path. After you select the master and child profiles, you can create the multi-torch cut path.

Options

The group contains options that facilitate profile geometry activation. Select Inner or Outer (see the figure below).

Actions

The Actions group contains three actions: Create multi-torch pattern , Confirm Multi-torch pattern , and Remove selections .

Create Multi-torch pattern

Checks whether or not a multi-torch matrix can be formed, and whether there are matching profiles for all selected master profiles. Within a pattern, profiles must meet the "matching" condition: size, shape, and position in the X direction must be similar. Distances between burners can be different in the Y direction.

Confirm multi-torch pattern

Accepts the layout if the multi-torch pattern was successfully created, and creates a multi-torch cutting path. The master and child profile start points are on the master profile.

Remove selections

Clears the master profile selections in the Select Master sub-mode, the child profile selections in the Distances sub-mode, and the created multi-torch pattern in the Cut Path sub-mode.

Used multi-torch parameters

Contains a list of used multi-torch parameters that shows the multi-torch set number, the number of multi-torches, and the multi-torch distances (see the figure below). The list is not populated until the cutting path is created.

After the cutting path has been made, the list of the Used multi-torch parameters group will contain a line showing the multi-torch set number, the number of multi-torches and the multi-torch distances.

Deed order:

  1. Click Cut Profiles and select Multi-torch Cut Path .

  2. Click Select Master , and activate the master profiles by clicking it or by using the activation box or by clicking the profiles (see the figure below). N holes, which are supposed to be cut with the same burner arrangement, are usually selected in the X direction.

  3. Click Distances and define the multi-torch distances. Activate the N holes in the Y direction for the first profile you selected using Select Master (see the figure below). Use the activation box or click to activate the selections.

  4. Click Cut Path to activate Create Multi-torch pattern and Confirm Multi-torch pattern .

  5. Click Create Multi-torch pattern to check whether or not a multi-torch matrix can be formed (see the figure below).

  6. Click Confirm multi-torch pattern to accept the layout and create a multi-torch cutting path (see the figure below).
