Well the bean counters say "no new plasma unit" for now and my machine is just sitting collecting dust. So back to the the Dreaded HIGH FREQ....
Been talking to Dynatorch the manufacture of my retro fit for my home built CNC Plasma table and they claim that they're system if I can give the 3 circuits. "OK to Move" "Start Switch" and "Arc Voltage" they're system will work. IF PROPERLY GROUNDED. PROCEED WITH CAUTION...
So we've found the proper circuit for arc voltage in my unit. Which we will be using Raw voltage. I am seeing voltages from 90v to 230v depending on arc length. And were pretty sure were before the capacitor start circuit. Anyway the meter acts good w/no spikes or erratic jumps during start-up or running. Supposedly the dynatorch system is analog and has been used with HF.
Next is the "OK to Move Circuit" Although I thought I understood this I have a few questions.
I need to make a Reed Switch work. One thing I did'nt catch about that process was, Can you use the work line to make the winding around the iron pipe that the reed switch is in or do you need to use the torch line? And will any common reed switch work or do I need a special sized one?
Wish me luck...
Again any info is greatly appreciated.
