Scenario : Ran a program that cut several pieces. Left the stuff running. went to program some more pieces. Loaded new program, plasma fired once, and then no more. Plasma itself is good, I can manually fire it by shorting the plasma connection or by the trigger on the torch. I “think” I can hear a click when I use manual in the fore-control.
Haven’t popped the cover yet. What is your guess? The machine about brand new. Has maybe 15 minute total run time.
TW, thanks for the quick reply. No error that I saw. The plasma still runs, just no torch. I actually finished the pieces by manually triggering the torch, not the best result I might add but I’m thru. I’ll pull the cover on the plasma control and have a look.
OK guys, looks like I found the problem, don’t know the extend of the injury yet. I only had time to pull the cover off the electronics box. I pinched the black wire coming from the power supply to the same plug the plasma attach wires come out of, I pinched the wire under the center box mount screw… Old eyes & black box & black wire, that’s my excuse and I’m sticking with it. I’ll check for continuity after I repair offending area on the wire. It did work until yesterday, guess it got hot and melted through, hopefully I didn’t damage the relay or other components… Keep you posted, I’ll try to fix it tomorrow after work.
