Hypertherm 45 giving me trouble !!
I replaced the nozzle and electrode on my machine torch after I noticed my cuts were not as smooth as they used to be.
After 30 minutes of use (aprox 20 cuts) with the new consumables, the torch would no pierce anymore.
What would happen is the torch would zero itself, go to pierce height and try to fire. I just get a flash from the tip, and the machine faults out. I removed the consumables and blew them out with air and reinstalled. It cut about 3-4 times and then faulted again.
I was cutting real thin aluminum, and had an excellent ground.
What could cause this?
Also, should the nozzle and electrode be changed as a set?
I could tell the old nozzle was worn out, but how can I tell if the electrode is still good or not?
Thanks
Dan
