Ground

Grounding is what you think it is. Humm, I guess I can check that out. I am not sure if there is a cable comming off the machine that is grounded. Also when we set up the hyper it is connected right to the material.

You are saying to connect it to the table first then go from the table to the matrial.

Also to run a ground cable from the machine's let say leg of the table out to a gournd in the building or in the ground itself?

I know this is an electrical setup and needs to " flow" right and you make it sound like these are simple things to fix. Isn't there some way to see that the machine is not grounded right?

It's just been a real mess, I know the settings need to be dialed in and test runs will get me there. So I get that.

It's just when the height sensor doesn't seem to be working right whent he tool touches off starts to burn then goes up in the air way off the work piece and continues to cut...

So the ground setup and power in on the controller and on the hyper therm.

Is there anything else that I could be missing.

1 settings in the software for the voltage Z shift and so on.

2 Machine ground, material ground and special gold cables to make sure no feedback.

3 Wire the controller to a UPS on a differnt ciurcuit then the hypertherm

4? Anything else that I could be missing.


It's not the Air becuase we are running gas with 3 filters. The settings we have worked back and forth and those I can work with more.

Check the gound and wire setup Ok I think I got it. If you can think of anything else let me know.

Thanks for the help.
