Introduction
For your notes

4 Parameter sets
Parameter sets are files containing various parameters for machining jobs. Each job
must be assigned a parameter set. The parameter set used depends on the thickness
and the type of material to be cut in the job.
All parameter sets have the same structure and are optimized for the given material.
The parameter sets can be modified to achieve an optimum cut. You can save the
modified parameter sets under a different material designation in a dedicated root
directory structure.

ByVision Water
4.1 Format of the parameter sets
The parameter sets are written in XML format. This format lets you save a default value
in addition to the current value. This means that the facto ry setting for the parameter
concerned can always be restored. Parameters can be reset to the facto ry settings
using the Load default function in the WORK -> Parameters view.

Parameter sets
4.2 Parameter-set coding
The file names of the parameter sets are constructed on the basis of a special code.
The code is used for unique identification of the parameter set.
Example:
Machine
CNC version
This number designates the eNe version. It is specified with a P in front of the num ber.
The number of the eNe version in the parameter set must match the eNe version of
the machine. The eNe version being used is shown in the MAIN - > Info view in
ByVision.
Example:
8100 = P8100
Output
The output is specified in bar. The specified value is the set maximum pump pressure
that can be used for cutting.

ByVision Water
Material
Bystronic uses the DIN number as the default material designation.

You can also assign your own material designations to the parameter sets. You can
change the material designation using the Save as function in the WORK ->
Parameters view.
Thickness
Example:
Abrasive type

Parameter sets
Additional information
Extra information in no particular format can be appended to the parameter coding.

This might be information on the machining mode, surface finish etc.
You can change the designation of the additional information using the Save as
function in the WORK -> Parameters view.
Example:
..::::galvaniz~d
The information can also be written out directly

6 «HAND» view
In the HAND view you can perform various functions for manual operation of the
machine. The functions are divided into manual functions and special functions. Press
the relevant button in the function bar to display the Manual functions and Special
functions.
Manual functions
The Manual operation and Reference functions can be selected if no other manual
function or service function is active.
The Origin and Adjust functions can be selected
\Il once the head has moved to the reference position for the first time
11\ and when no other manual or service function is active.
Special functions
The special functions can only be selected once the Manual operation function has
been enabled. All active special functions are identified in the HAND view by a green
dot.

ByVision Water
Manual operation is required for the following tasks:

li! adjusting the position of the focal point after changing a lens
III centering a nozzle
ø checking the nozzle clearance height
ill aligning deflecting mirrors
ill performing trial cuts in CW or pulsed mode along a straight section.
m repositioning for special work-piece positions (only when STOP ZERO is enabled)
The following information is displayed in the HAND view:

li! on the left, the current machine axis values
ø on the right, the values of the various media and the functional status of the special
functions (for checking or troubleshooting)
The Setup values, machine view and the Parameters view can be opened from the
navigation bar.

«HAND» view
6.1 Manual functions
6.1.1 Manual operation
This function enables the hand-held controller. The axes can now only be moved using
the hand-held controller.
Note:
This function is disabled during cutting operation.
Exceptions:
il: STOP ZERO
m STOP WORK
Reference points for the machine-axes display in the HAND view:

ii After switching on the machine or a CNC reset, this is the zero point for the
current position.
ii After the first Move to reference this is the machine zero point.
Coarse positioning using buttons
The axes move while you are pressing the relevant axis button on the hand-held
controller.
Fine positioning using hand wheel
You can position the cutting head precisely using the JOG button on the hand-held
controller. The jog button must be held down - it is not self-Iatching. Fine positioning of
the cutting head is ideally performed with the head in the lowered position.
1. Press and hold the JOG button on the hand-held controller.
2. With your other hand, select the appropriate axis button for the direction of
travel required.
3. Then use the hand wheel to move the selected axis, without releasing the JOG
button.

ByVision Water
Feed rate in manual operation
Three different speeds are used:

>: High-speed, coarse positioning with cutting head raised
uses the setup value Feed rate for manual operation, head raised from the
Setup values, machine view
>: Low-speed, fine positioning with cutting head lowered
- uses the setup value Feed rate for manual operation, head lowered from the
Setup values, machine view
m Cutting speed from the active parameters when WATER is pressed together with
the relevant direction button
For the rotary axis (U-axis), the feed rate refers to the angular speed. The speed at the
circumference varies depending on the radius of the work piece. The radius is read
from the last cutting plan loaded or the active cutting plan. If this is/was not a tube
program, the setup value Tube radius from the Setup values, machine view is used.
Note:
In manual operation, only feed rates with step sizes of 133 are
employed. This means that the smaliest possible feed rate is
133 mm/min, then 266 mm/min etc. In automatic mode, the feed rate
is adopted correctly from the feed rate entered. Feed rates can
therefore differ from the "Feed rate, cutting" even when the same
values are set. Be aware of these differences when measuring
parameters in manual operation.

«HAND» view
Limiting movement of the axes
Movement of the axes is restricted in three stages:

1. Limit switch
If the axes travel over a limit switch, the eNe controller sto ps the drives. Use
the hand-held controller to mave out of the limit position.
2. Limit-of-travel switch
If the axes travel over a limit-of-travel switch, the eNe controller disconnects
the drives from the power supply. The following message appears: Stop - axis
limit reached, bridge
Action:
- Switch off machine

- Mave axes by hand out of the limit-of-travel switch
- Switch machine back on
3. Mechanical end sto ps
The braking distance between limit-of-travel switch and end stop is only
designed for braking from the travel speed.
If you mave the axes at positioning speed beyond the limit-of-travel

switches, the guides may be damaged from the impact with the mechanical
end stops.

ByVision Water
6.1.2 Zero point
You can use this function to move to the zero point of a plan or part. This function is
only enabled after the first move to reference operation.
Exceptions:
il no other Hand or Service function is active
It. STOP ZERO has not been actuated
After selecting the Zero point function, you have the following options available:
il Move to the zero point with CON T
- If a cutting plan is active and the cutting head is waiting at a STOP ZERO (plan
or part), the cutting head moves to the relevant zero point.
- If there is no active cutting plan (machine in manual mode), the cutting head
moves to the setup value XIV axis: sheet zero point.
til Return to the HAND view with STOP.
The zero point of the cutting plan can be moved by the Edge detection function, a
programmed plan zero point or via the Shift origin Service function.
ill If there is a program med zero point, the sheet zero point is ignored.
The program med zero point can be defined in the following Bysoft applications:
ill Bytubepart under the menu Settings -> Options -> LCC/NCP Export -> Zero
point offset
!li Bytubework under the menu Work area -> Job parameters -> LCC/NCP Export -
> Zero point offset V

«HAND» view
6.1.3 Adjust
The Adjust function can be used to move the axes to four preset positions.
The Adjust function can be selected:
!\\ once the head has moved to the reference position for the first time
!\\ when no other manual or service function is active
Moving to setup positions

1. Press the Adjust button. The following message is displayed:
Move to position, Press CONT to continue, STOP to terrnlnate
2. Press CONT. The head moves to the start position (XIY-axis: sheet zero
point)
3. Select the axis end position using the X+, X-, Y+, Y- buttons on the hand-held
controller. The following message is displayed:
Move to position, Press CONT to continue, STOP to terminate
4. Press CONT to move to the selected axis end position.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to move to the required axis positions.
6. To close the Adjust function, move the cutting head to the reference position by
pressing the Reference button.
The controller uses the value from the setup values XIY-axis: setup positions in the
Setup values, machine view.
The graphic shows the adjustment positions of the

cutting head for a setup value XIY-axis: sheet zero
point of 20mm.
The surface (E) is the machine cutting area.
A X-, Y- XIY-axis: sheet zero point
B X+, Y- X-axis: setup position, Y-axis: sheet zero point
C X+, Y+ XIY-axis: setup positions
D X-, Y+ X-axis: sheet zero point, Y-axis: setup position

ByVision Water
6.1.4 Reference
The reference point is used by the controller as an orientation point for a defined axis
position. The position of the reference point is set by switches on the machine.
Select the Reference function:

:li Before you perform a table interchange (if the axes are not al ready in the reference
position).
:li At least once after starting the machine or after a CNC-controller reset.
After selecting the Reference function you can:

~ use CONT to mave to the reference
~ use STOP to return to the Hand view.
Note:
This function is disabled during the cutting process.
