urgent please.. problem with THC or hypertherm plasma?

**habdulazez** · 03-20-2017, 01:49 AM

have a new plasma cutting with THC Chinese , but the plasma power source is hypertherm 200a,
the cnc control unit is starfire brand
and the machine doesn't function normal, " the problem we have, is when we have a drawing have more than vectors, and we click the start button, the torch start cutting with the plasma for some vectors, 2 or three vectors , then the plasma stops, moving stop. eroor msg on the starfire "ACR BK" and the torch going up.
when i press again start then complete the drawing without the plasma ". and the next vector plasma come again.
this same problem, with the same design same paramater same sheet, sometimes coming. sometimes not coming.

anybody know how to fix this issue?, we have tried changing the software parameters alot, and all what we got is to set the parameters.
hope you can help us with this, and attached also the pictures of the design. <br>there two works are for the same design same parameter same sheet 5mm carbon steel we use 50a electrode and nozzle. one time cutted ok without problem, second time come the problem and the torch just make hole for two vectors..

What kind of CAM software did you use? seems like a CAM program issue, can you post a sample drawing with exact size and measurement and the thickness of the metal material? I will try to program it myself then give you the code, does your machine have a USB port?

Yes my friend
Give me your email i will send you dxf file. Then you make the code file i will test it.
If works correct that mean software parameters.
Machine have usb port right.
Waiting for your email. Thank you for your help..

For the meantime you can test my sample code and see if it works on your plasma

just copy / paste it on a notepad and rename it to Transformers plasma.tap
