now now boys no need to bicker! All I have to say is THANKS again. No telling how long it would have taken me to catch my mistake without y’all. Great community!
now all i have to do is get the Z axis working consistently… ohh and design some cut files… and afford to buy the material…and weld it up afterwards… and and and.

Hey, welcome to the forum. I’m rather new and am also running the same setup as you are. Going to be wiring up the THC like you have diagramed out pretty soon.
Noah. Thanks for asking my question. Is the picture the right connection or is that before you said you you switched it? I ordered my Crossfire last night. Thanks for your help.
I’m looking at wiring my Powermax380 this week - glad I found this thread!
@Noah are you still running the 380 torch? Any thoughts on upgrading to an x45 machine torch to get into newer consumables?
Yhank you very much for responding to my question. I ended up ordering a Prime Wel Cut 60 on Black Friday. I’ll keep this info if I decide to sell or upgrade my Hyper Therm 380.
The Hypertherm 380 and 350 were old chopper design plasma cutters and were made by Miller and sold by Hypertherm.

Hey Guys. Thanks for all the info on the threads. I’m running a Powermax 380 and having success after my time in the dungeon! What a learning curve…
So I have the basic Crossfire using Fire Control an want to add the Z axis. Maybe i’m just anal but i can’t figure out how the system gets the feedback to stop the down motion to determine contact with the work material? Any where i can look? Thanks

It has a built in switch that sends a signal to the table control that opens on contact,stopping the Z movement.
Makes sense! So the switch is located within the Z-Axis mounting! I was looking for some kind of electrical connection between the torch and material… overtinking again Thanks
