One-line value prop: Load a DXF, set Diameter, and cut tubes with kerf-accurate paths while THC holds a constant torch standoff on warped or thin material—clean edges, fewer stops.
Who uses it: Job shops, HVAC/ducting, handrail & furniture makers, maintenance/prototyping cells.
Works with: Gantry tables equipped with a pipe rotator/chuck or roller fixture.
Compatible controllers: PC-SMART 4A / PC-SMART 3AS / PC-PRO LAN 4A
Supported files: DXF and standard G-code
Important: This interface does not include Torch Height Control (THC).
For live arc-voltage height control, use XYZ Cutter + THC.
X–Y contouring + Z lifter with homing and soft limits; presets for Pierce / Cut / Retract.
PipeCut mode unwraps DXF geometry to the tube circumference using Diameter—handles miters, saddles, slots, and holes.
Compatible with chucks/rotators (step/dir or encoder feedback) and tailstock prompts.
Torch/gas I/O: Torch ON/OFF, Pre-flow / Post-flow, alarms/beacons, guards/doors, Emergency.
Process inputs: Arc-OK, ohmic/mechanical touch sensor, anti-collision, home pins.
THC loop: drives Z (pulse/dir) to match TorchValue (target V) using THCGain and Tolerance (deadband) with enable/hold conditions (StartAfter, EndBefore, THCThreshold).
Operator aids: Manual Z trim, Speed % override, safe Pause/Resume retract.
DXF import with preview; kerf/offset, lead-in/lead-out, pierce dwell, micro-tabs, corner slow-down.
Switch to PipeCut, set Diameter, confirm inner→outer order and clamp/tailstock keep-outs; dry-run (torch off).
Set THC (Target V, Gain/Deadband, delays); Run—Z is regulated automatically; trim Z or pause safely when needed.
Run reports record time, cut length, pierces, pauses/alarms, and operator notes.
Diameter-based wrap of DXF to pipe surface
Kerf compensation, clean leads, micro-tabs, inner→outer sequencing
Automatic standoff with configurable Target V, Gain/Deadband, and enable/hold logic
Manual Z trim, Speed override, safe Pause/Resume
Dry-run simulation and full interlocks
Job logging for repeatability

Need live arc-voltage height control? Choose XYZ Cutter + THC for automatic standoff management on uneven sheets.
If you want, I can paste this into your site/CMS or update the canvas draft to match this final version.
Seamlessly load and execute DXF files without the need for G-code conversion — streamlining your workflow and reducing setup time.
Select specific parts from complex drawings and customize cutting order with intuitive control over toolpath sequencing.
Scale, rotate, and mirror parts directly within the interface — with live toolpath previews to ensure precision.
Manually drag and drop parts onto your material sheet to accommodate irregular shapes, pre-cut stock, or remnant reuse.
Set up to three independent pause points — before the cut, during the cut, and after the cut — for manual checks or operational adjustments.
Execute toolpaths in reverse to minimize material warping or adjust final exit points based on design needs.
Perform a complete motion test without activating the torch. Ideal for verifying the toolpath before live cutting.
Project flat designs onto cylindrical surfaces for precision tube and pipe cutting operations.
Real-time arc-voltage feedback ensures dynamic Z-axis height control — maintaining optimal torch-to-material distance during operation.
