Hypertherm 45 torch cap sensor fault
Been a while since I`ve posted here because everything had been working perfectly till now.
I have always used 45 amp consumables until this week when I had to use some 30 amp for a fine job I had to cut. I keep getting the cap sensor LED going off which shuts off the machine.
I want to know how this switch work !! Is it a single pole, single throw micro switch , or is there more to it than that?
Yes I'm using proper consumables, and yes they are new, and yes they are installed correctly !!!
Does this switch feed the signal back to the machine, or does it shut off current right at the torch?
I want to know why this is happening and how I can fix it myself, so sending it back for repair at my local Hypertherm dealer is not an option.
As I install the consumables, I can hear the micro switch click and it takes another turn or so to fully seat everything finger tight. I know the switch is "made", but the darn thing still faults out.
Any help would be appreciated.
The one that dies with the most tools, WINS !!
