CNC plasma cutting machine problems
please help me
machine : HYPERTHERM POWERMAX PLASMA 45
Chinese FANGLING CONTROLLER
CHINESE HYDTHC torch height controller
HYPERTHERM Machine interface cable
HYPERTHERM Powermax45 MAchine torch
the Problem : plasma arc fires but the torch does not moves, ultimately extinguishing the Arc.
Questions:
1) My Chinese supplier says 4 wires are sufficient to operate this machine ( 2 for ARC START and 2 for ARC Voltages)
as per him, we must connect ARC START wires to HYPERTHERM pins 3 and 4
and ARC VOLTAGE wires to HYPERTHERM pins 5 & 6.
is it possible for the machine to work on these 4 wire connections.???
2) mistakenly, We connected ARC VOLTAGE wires to HYPERTHERM pins 12 & 14.
should this have damaged some component???
3) is it possible to run the machine without the torch height controller?
if Yes, How?
i have just set up my business .this machine is the backbone of my business.
i want to run this machine on any cost.
please help me

Re: CNC plasma cutting machine problems
I think we have same machine, at least we have same control system from FANGLING, I am trying to get it up for run, I got two results
1) it doesn't start, it keep popes up message box say " ARC BREAK ALARM" I tried it manually the arc work.
2) machine runs but not arc, doesn't cut at all.
any idea work could be wrong? I was told be the guy who I bought it from I need to clamp it on the material not on the bed, and I need to adjust the voltage higher. Is that right?
Anything will help. Thanks
Re: CNC plasma cutting machine problems
Has anyone in this thread solved the connection problem? I have a Powermax45 that I am trying to connect to a F1620 THC with a FangLing Cutting Control system. I have the connector cable from Hypertherm with 6 wires, where to connect them?
Re: CNC plasma cutting machine problems
Well on my opinion you can go manual mode if you want, no need for arc sense, you can configure the controller to go into oxy / acy mode, hook up a relay to trigger the plasma start, now you can cut aluminum and any other metals that the previous automated settings cannot
In this video im cutting a 3mm aluminum with ease, as you noticed on my torch you can see the handle hehe, because it`s a manual plasma cutter, I just integrate it in the CNC controller, put some triggering relays on one of the oxy/ ace control solenoids, now you just need to set the delay preheat time on the plasma trigger and manually go down the torch in the first time, after that the rest will be in automated mode but without the arc sense (depending on how thick you material to be cut)

This one im cutting 3/8 steel signs (100 pcs.)
You can do whatever you want on a CNC on my opinion
Re: CNC plasma cutting machine problems
Hi can anyone help me understand the error gio key is not reading in fastcam professional. How to solve the above problem
Re: CNC plasma cutting machine problems
Hello.
Did anyone work this out?
I have just gotten my hands on the same CNC and THC, and connecting it to my plasma.
The plasma fire, but the THC doesn't pick up the voltage, then the CNC says "arc break alarm".
Thank you in advance.
Hi, did you solve it? Do you have a manual for the controller?Originally Posted by davidgermano
Re: CNC plasma cutting machine problems
I don't really have enough knowledge in the area to be able to give you the exact solution to the problem, but I can point you in the direction. I'm retty much inexperienced when it comes to anything that has to do with high voltage tools, but I took on a project last summer that uses exactly such tools. I had to reserch every step I took, and that was actually the key to completing the project I think, cause I wouldn't have been able to do it ony with the info that I had at the time. I found a site that helped me about audit power tools and that was a plus along the way. What I'm trying to say is that whatever product you might have, you need to do all the reserach you could in regards to it, and the answer will probably be there.
