Sheetcam Hot Crack [hot]

to at least 200% to keep lead-ins away from other finished parts, reducing heat concentration. Lead-in/Lead-out Management

A refers to a crack that appears in a workpiece immediately after cutting, usually near the lead-in, a sharp corner, or the point where the torch finishes the cut. These are not mechanical shear cracks; they are thermal stress fractures . sheetcam hot crack

Use SheetCam to create longer, curved lead-ins . This allows the pierce (the hottest part of the process) to happen further away from the finished edge. to at least 200% to keep lead-ins away

The result?

: Starting a cut directly on a sharp corner where heat cannot dissipate. 2. SheetCam’s Role in Mitigation Use SheetCam to create longer, curved lead-ins

: In your Jet Cutting operation window, select "Arc" or "Tangent" lead-ins to keep the pierce point at a safe distance from the part edge .
