I am thinking about traveling to see a TL2 for sale but would like to resolve one question first. Maybe someone who owns one can tell me, what is the maximum work piece length from front of chuck to...
I was overthinking my problem. The issue was the post I was using added a line of code before and after an arc turning the thc on off and on. After deleting those lines movement is smooth between...
Sheet Cam is posting rads with I and J. Maybe I should look at that format I think it can be done with the end point and R. Thanks for the input however.
I am running the CandCNC mach profile through a C10 breakoutboard to Keling 5056 drivers....
I am having pauses between lines particularly arcs. The plasma leaves a notch at the start and end of an...
I want to sever some 1-1/4 as stated with my 1250. I have heard this can be done I was just looking for some info before I try it, like cut speed...I know I will have to edgw start and it will be...
I used the simple calculations shown here.
Motor Torque Calculation | (CHINA) MS MOTOR CO.,LTD (STEPPER MOTORS,STEP MOTORS,STEPPING MOTORS,SERVO MOTORS)
However it is very important to know...
I have been trying to cut some 1/2" holes in 1/2"SS. I am finding that the blow back form piercing to be quite a problem. I have tried changing the height, using anti splatter with little...
I have a powermax 1250 which is an 80A output. I am using a 60 amp 220V single phase breaker. I also ran 6 awg wire. I think this info is listed in the manual for your machine.
I have implemented the LCTHC from CandCNC and am getting signals and have done a lot of the typical trouble shooting.
I have my tip saver on at 1% and delay at 1.0 sec. I have set my volts at the...
I found i have been having some flow issues with my torch head itself. I will report back when i try another cut in thick aluminum.
Well I cleaned up my torch. I found two issues, there was quite a bit of dirt like material in the torch end which I completely disassembled and cleaned with soap and water and thoroughly blew out...
Before I go tearing my plasma cutter apart. Does anyone have any pictures of what the pneumatic system looks like or how to test for blockages?
WSS, where are the exaust ports you are talking...
I am posting some pictures to show what I am getting.
However I just got off the phone with tech support at Hypertherm and he said if i rotate my torch in its holder and the bevelled arc follows I...
I have the same issue with either. For a sharp corner i have to do loops or a pause. For a Rad i have to slow the speed WAY down to get the arc straightend back up.
I am just wondering if my...
I have also used corner loops which do help. I am using SheetCam.
However, can you cut a square any size internal or external at even a slow speed. do you get laging cut in the bottom of a thicker...
Note:
I have new consumables, refrigerated air dryer working, and THC working.
I have been trying to cut ½” Aluminum with my PM 1250 and been having blow back extinguishing my cut. Any ideas on what cause this? Should the cut height be higher for AL or is this normal?
I have been having trouble with my Hypertherm 1250, getting parts to come out with proper draft and quality.
I have found that I cant get rid of lag unless I pause in a sharp corner to change...
I have been very careful about setting my height for each cut. However I have a THC on the way. I will try stopping the cut and checking the height mid cycle though.
What i did do though is adjust...
Note: it's hard to tell from the pictures but I can get one side of the hex straight. The others are beveled in the same direction, on an inside or
outside cut.
I have a Hypertherm 1250 with a custom built table. I am running air in at 90 to 100 psi through a deliquescent air dryer. Which in itself is a bit of an experiment. I know one other person on here...
I understand the advantage of a THC but that is not my issue. I have set my torch height manually on a flat 1/2" plate and am only cutting in about a 1 square inch area. I'm confident my torch...
I am trying to upload some pictures of my electrodes they are looking yellow and blue. I don't know if this is normal.
Beefy, did you ever solve your problem?
I am having the same issue. I can only see that it might be a wet air issue for me but I don't know. Is there a way anyone knows how to measure the humidity...
I posted a thread on the sheetcam form but maybe I was asking the wrong question to the wrong crowd.
I am setting up my tool list in sheetcam to call out different conditions based on the...
I am having trouble figuring out how to do an edge start. The program will not allow me to set the pierce height the same as the cut height. How do you edge start with sheetcam or pierce thin...
I posted a shot of the calculations I came up with in my “How fast do you accelerate your Gantry” thread.
I will run the numbers for your gantry.
What top speed, accel, do you want? Also any other...
Here are my calculations. So assuming they are close to the practical numbers.
I only plan to cut down to 16ga in ms,ss, and al. Now I know aluminum will be the limiting factor, but how would a...
As you have seen I am researching the same cause. I am finding if you look at the torque curves of the motor running in series vs parallel the slope will be shallower for parallel.
So a smaller...
