Dirty or air that is not completly dry can cause problems like this
I would check to make sure that your cvompressed air is clean & dry
We had exactly the same thing happen with our HPR130XD recently, we cleands the head as best we could and then replaced all the consumables in it and luckily that fixed the problem.
I would try Techserv Cutting Systems http://techserv.co.uk
They make some really good machines (I know because I have had two of them).
They use their own controller which is really easy to use...
I have been having a few issues with my HPR130XD stopping due to coolant flow issues. I have changes the filters which seems to have helped a bit but still get the occasional problem.
In the manual...
You should contact Techserv here in the UK (techserv.co.uk).
They produce both water jet & plasma machines which both use there own excellent controller, they have machines all over the world, if...
Hypertherm changed the containers for their consumables from a hard "white" type to the thin transparent type like you have in your pictures about a year ago.
I have spoken to Mike at Techserv who make the Blue Marlin and he also suggests changing the swirl ring to see if this helps.
You could always give them a ring as they are always very helpful, tel....
Hi Edward,
What happens if you leave everything for a longer period before trying to start it again, as I was just wondering if the problem had something to do with the torch cooling down to a...
Does this happen with both saved files and flexishapes?
What is the status message on the bottom of the control console screen, does it say "waiting for arc on" or something else?
Have you changed the swirl ring as we had similar problems with our Powermax 105 a few years ago.
We had a problem recently with a rough cut edge and cured this by changing the swirl ring.
I have never tried cutting Titanium with plasma but from my experience of welding it you HAVE to prevent it from coming into contact with the atmosphere when at an elevated temperature. If it...
Glad you are up & running again.
When I put our HPR 130XD in I opted for a small Compair refrigerant drier like Plasmamatt which cost about £800.00
In addition I also fitted a good pre & post...
Is it possible that the desiccant needs replacing?
I do not have one but would have thought that it must have a finite life.
We have an HPR 130 XD and I have been asked to quote for cutting some 32mm thick mild steel profiles.
According to the sales literature the machine has a production pierce capacity of this thickness...
Hi Jim,
Thanks for the feedback, you are indeed correct in so much as I have never used your system but I did not actually say yours was not user friendly what I did say was that I thought the...
As I said earlier I had also been told that Truehole was not available for stainless steel.
However, we have the Techserv controller which does not use Hypertherms Truehole but has it's own version...
I can imagine your frustration, we have the manual gas console so I can't offer any advice regarding yours.
I would suggest contacting Hypertherm regarding this problem as it seem strange that you...
How is your earth? Something we have done in the past is to clamp the earth clamp directly onto the sheet instead of relying on it grounding through the bed of the machine especially with thin...
Blimey that's a heck of a long time to get a bottle of gas, here in the UK I can get one the next day!
We have the same HPR130XD plasma fitted to a Techserv Blue Marlin and we get good results with...
We have a HPR130XD with Manual gas console and we get the same thing happen when we change from cutting stainless steel to mild steel or vice versa if we have turned off the previously used gas...
Why are you using Nitrogen? We used to have a Hypertherm Powermax 105 (before we upgraded to an HPR 130) and the only time we used Nitrogen was to cut stainless steel.
I would suggest that you...
Thanks Jim,
I certainly hope it only happens once!
I have another question, yesterday we were cutting stainless steel with F5 & N2 gases and this morning we needed to cut some mild steel using O2...
We have recently upgraded to a HD machie from our old Powermax and I have been training my guys to use it.
Everything was fine until one of them decided to turn the unit on before refitting the...
Thanks Jim,
I know the consumables last a lot longer on the HPR but could you give me an indication of how many pierces I should get per set compared to the Powermax?
I have now got an HPR130XD on order and am now looking at what consumables I need to order.
As we are a general jobbing shop I intend to order something to enable me to use every option available...
Hi Jim,
Thanks for the information.
Could you please e-mail it to me at [email protected]
Many thanks
I have recently ordered a new HPR 130XD and have been looking at the latest available downloadable manual (806320 Revision 2)
In the sales literature it shows a 60 amp set of consumables for...
