Everlast 62i & Langmuir Crossfire XR (12pin CNC connection to XR system)

[Forge-Fire]

Hello Langmuir friends,

I recently purchased a CrossFire XR and will be running an Everlast 62i with the 25-ft CNC torch. My Everlast has a CNC port/connector, but it looks like I’d need to solder my own leads. I’m not comfortable doing that.

Has anyone found a pre-built cable (12-pin from the Everlast CNC port) that plugs directly into the CrossFire XR control box? Vendor and part number would be awesome.

Setup:

• Table: CrossFire XR

• Plasma: Everlast 62i

• Torch: 25-ft CNC torch head

• Need: Pre-made cable from Everlast CNC port → XR control box (no soldering)

Thanks in advance!

Wire the plasma cutter to RAW voltage. Only pins 1 and 2 for the torch switch. Trust us…

Hello, so I’m sitting here looking at pins 1&2 that I’m supposed to solder too. Do you have any pictures on how you did this? I don’t want to go tearing anything apart I don’t need too. Do I taetyhis all apart and solder onto the back? This is my first time doing anything like this and could use some help. Please

I don’t own an Everlast, but have been told it’s similar to a PrimeWeld.

If pins 1 & 2 are for torch on/off, just solder them to the end of a barrel plug. That barrel plug will then go to the ON/OFF on your control box.

[Bigdaddy2166]

The plug on the back, not the torch connection. Did you get a CNC plug with the machine? You need to open up the machine for the raw voltage connections anyway.

That is for the torch. The cnc port is on the back of the plasma cutter.

Yes I see the cnc port in the back, I’ve located pins 1&2. How do you have yours connected? I know this has to be simple. I just don’t wanna mess anything up. Anyway you have a picture to share?

[Bigdaddy2166]

You need this plug. WEiPU SP21 CNC Connector 12 Pin | Everlast Generators

One should have come with the machine

[mechanic416]

If you don’t have the 12 pin plug let me know. If you pay shipping and handling I will send you one with pig tails soldered in already.

George you’re incredibly kind. Once I get home from work today I’ll let you know. Thank you!

I am considering the Everlast 62i also. I understand the consensus of opinion is to use raw voltage for the THC. I am wondering,though, what is the problem with the raw voltage pins ( 5&7 ) on the cnc port? Sticking two wires out through the ventilation slots just seems so buck-shee.

[Bigdaddy2166]

Hook it up to raw voltage. There are a couple of guys who use it. You can try it and see. Two hundred guys can’t be wrong, though. You will like it. When it starts screwing up, you will know how to proceed.

[curmudgeon]

I’m not disputing the acquired knowledge of everyone in that raw voltage works best for these machines. I am just wondering what kind of problems exist when using the raw voltage pins on the connector.

[Bigdaddy2166]

I believe it is a 100:1 ratio when Langmuir table requires 50:1

They state that it is 50:1 with a jumper on the board but in reality it’s not. You would still have to remove the cover and move the jumper. George could tell you more. It’s a great plasma cutter. Mine is 5 years old without a problem. I have 100i also, that is great.

[curmudgeon]

Thanks for that Bigdaddy, I guess I’m the sort of guy that wants an explanation for everything. Maybe those 2-100K resistors are more than just short circuit current limiting.
Yea, from what I have been able to glean from this forum, the Everlasts are a pretty robust machine.

George, i Have the connector for the back and soldered it in. were all good! thank you very much
