  2. Re: Plasma Table Manufacturer Vanished, what now?

    EZ Cut. I'll have to go take it apart and check the controller, but I think it was also labeled with their brand name. If it's theirs, I'm worried that my chances of another manufacturer being...

    Re: Grey electrodes, Hypertherm Powermax 105

    I'm running in torch lock mode, so It shouldn't have anything to do with the continuous pilot mode. I guess I'll check the airlines, since we don't do thick materials very often. Thank you!

    Re: Backlash?

    Re: Machine out of square

    We've gotten it square, and we've already tightened the set screws on everything. It moves smoothly between commands, and there isn't really any slop when you just push things around. It will execute...

    Re: Machine out of square

    The only mention of backlash I can find in any of my documentation reads: "DRIVE SYSTEM – Zero-Backlash drive system is powered by heavy-duty NEMA 34 drive motors."

    Re: Machine out of square

    I'm actually not sure there isn't another issue. This is the only thing we've found that's actually off by anything. The manufacturer told us that if the table isn't square, it will bind up and...

    When cutting a piece out that should be square, my bottom edge is 1/16" shorter than my top edge, and instead of 90-degree angles, I have 90.121-degree angles (or 89.879-degree). It's not much, but...
