    Powermax 65 Machine Interface Cable PLEASE HELP

    Hello,

    Recently we damaged our Powermax65 Machine interface cable connection. We twisted it without unlocking, and some of the pins at the cable end of the connection were bent, along with some of the sockets on the PM65 side.
    I re-ordered the necessary pins and sockets (#008176, #008186) and re-assembled the cable/pin end of the connection. I also replaced the broken sockets on the PM65 end.

    We have our torch mounted on a CNC machine controlled by TechnoCNC software. The red light on the torch turns on, the air starts blowing, but the torch won’t start. Error message comes up that says “Spindle failed to start”
    I have been reading the PM65 user manual and from what I gather pins 3 and 4 on the machine interface cable are the ones responsible for starting the plasma arc. So I double checked both pins and sockets for 3-4 and everything looks good.

    In short I am stumped and looking for help… if you have encountered anything like this please let me know

    thanks
