I bought my 1650 about 2 years ago and had no problems for the first year, then I started getting the "Consumables Stuck" error light. the problem has steadily got worse to the point that my production is cut in half. I have had a service tech and one of the top guys from Hypertherm, Jim Akinhead (hope I spelled it right) come and look at my machine.
After several hours and several phone calls to engineers in New hampshire, the problem still persists.
I have switched power supplies and leads and still have the same problem.
the 1650 is set up as a CNC.
Table made by Retro Systems in Kansas.
Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this problem.
Material ranges from .050 aluminum to .190 aluminum and 16 ga steel to .375 steel.
I follow the cut charts in manual and many variations but just can't seem to fix the problem.
Already checked air, consumables, etc.
If anyone has any ideas about fixing this or what may be causing the problem please post as I am about to go crazy.
Thanks in advance.
