CPC Plug for PMX45 does this one fit?

[kanowee]

Hello,

Found this part number in the forum for the PowerMax 45 CPC port.

AMP 206044-1, avaiable at Mouser Electronics, may someone give a hint if this one fits?

I bought an avionics 14 pin male conector but it did not fit.

Thank you!

The CPC (circular plastic connectors) are available from many supply houses. Here are Hypertherm part numbers as well as manufacturer (Tyco) part numbers for the mating plug that attaches to the rear panel Hypertherm CPC connector.

The plug consists of a shell, a cable clamp, as well as 6 pins. The unfortunate thing is that the pins are crimp pins and require a tool that costs about $250. I suppose you could solder the wires in, or you can buy a complete cable from Hypertherm (about $80) with the plug on one end and nothing on the other end.

Hypertherm interface cable:

123966 25’ machine interface cable

Hypertherm Parts:

008202 Plug Shell $8.50
008192 Cable Clamp $9.50
008196 Pin $0.80 (6 required)

You can also get them from an electronic supply house….they are manufactured by Tyco, and are known as Amp CPC connectors. Here are the tyco numbers:

A1358-ND Plug Shell
A32516-ND Cable Clamp
A99521-ND Pins

Let me know what you are interfacing the Powermax45 to (PlasmaCam, Torchmate, CandCNC, other?) and I may be able to help you out as well as I keep these components in stock.

Thank you very much for the information, will import some of these connectors and try.

They will be used in our own THC. It has dual display, anti-dive features, low cost and dual chargepump for safety reasons.

It will be avaiable for convencional plasma and high definition ( up to 400v).

Will be plug and play for the convencional air Hypertherm and ThermalDynamic plasma, and raw volts for other brands, including HF start.

We already use it in our own systems, but now will offer for the hobbyst or OEM for using in their machine with a easy to install manual.

It is pretty well tested in real industrial enviroments, so we are sure that will have good acceptance in Brazil.

thank you,

I would be interested in more information about your THC. Please forward it directly to me at jim.colt@hypertherm.com .

- Is this a "standalone" THC system...will it operate on all cnc machines regardless of software used?

-What is the method of "IHS" (initial height sensing) to find the plate surface before cutting?

- Has this system been tested with high frequency start plasma systems?

- Is the mechanical z axis included / available?

- Is there a method of height freeze during corners, slowdown?

- Can this interface to a divided voltage output, if so, at what ratio?

Best regards, Jim Colt

Hello

- Is this a "standalone" THC system...will it operate on all cnc machines regardless of software used?
Can be used with softwares that accept Up, down, ok to move input commands and that can send torch on and charge pump (security) signals. We have a standalone system project, work fine with a Z axis, but still dont know how to sell it directly to the client, as ther is a lot of different types of Z axis (stepper motors, servo motors, rack and pinion system, belt drive systems etc etc) making the acceleration times, velocity and corrections times dificult to program for every kind of machines. By using a software in the PC is a lot easier to make the Z axis work with the THC. Making a complete mechanical standalone Z with THC for mounting in a plasma machine will be in a near future.

-What is the method of "IHS" (initial height sensing) to find the plate surface before cutting? With a floating Z axis, with Z home sensor. We are developing a ohmic sensor for the initial sensing without the need for using a floating head, have already the electronic project done, but have to test before a comercial product is avaiable. Ohmic sensors have to be very well made because of the noise generated and a isolation betwen the sensor and the THC must be very well done.

- Has this system been tested with high frequency start plasma systems? Yes, including those low cost china plasma machines, that transmits more noise than the plasma arc itself. Was tested with Esab systems as well (LSB-80)

- Is the mechanical z axis included / available? Not at this time.

- Is there a method of height freeze during corners, slowdown? Yes, by the use of a post-processor that turnoff the thc if arcs or corners are less then the specified.

- Can this interface to a divided voltage output, if so, at what ratio? It has a 50:1 divider direct input. The raw input can be used with standart or high definition plasmas. But until now, we had not the chance to work with high defiinition plasmas because of the cost and avaiabality of theses machines.

Our THC have dual display, one for the Set voltage and other for the Tip voltage. It is optical isolated from the sensor card. It uses an HV microprocessor, instead of a ordinary 5v processor, thus giving to it a more robust immunity to noise, emf or inducted voltages at the power line. Will start selling it in Brazil very soon. It was used in our own machines, but will now have the option for the customers to by the THC. The installation is simpler than any THC avaiable at the market. It will have a plug and play option for Hypertherm machines via CPC connector.
