Yes I have it on auto reset. If I remember correctly.
That explains how the torch is restarting without a command from the control software.
Now we’re back to an air pressure drop to cause the torch to turn off. Have you tried pressing the air check button on the plasma and watching the pressure on the display? What air pressure are you running?
Still no explanation of why the THC isn’t stopping the program for lost voltage, though. Is the THC turned on?
Yes I’ve done the pressure tested and it stays normal (68-70psi) when on… I even attempted to increase it but nothing
THC is on and I’ve always tried to do it with THC off and still be same results…
What amperage are you using?
65ipm is extremely slow for cutting 16ga metal.
You could be just burning the torch out by cutting too slow. It loses the electrical connection when it runs out of metal to cut. The length of your cuts may be just the time it takes for the connection to be lost and the torch shuts off. Then the auto restart kicks in and starts the cycle again.
I’m running at 30amps. I’ll attempt to increase my ipm today
You should be on CNC and tip saver. But something is still turning the torch off. Even in the restart/4T mode it would not shut off then come back on. In restart/4T mode the pilot arc does not shut off for hand or CNC modes. This is not what is causing this issue we are looking at.
Even at 30 amps you should be cutting at over 100 IPM.
I’ll make adjustments on my settings to increase my IPMs… I’ll get a video as well to see what yall think
Not familiar with the Everlast, but on my PrimeWeld CUT60 I ran 16 gauge between 110 to 130ipm at 32 amps.
On my Hypertherm I’ve yet to cut 16 gauge stainless, but I do run mild at 150ipm at 45 amps.
This should give you a general idea of where you be should at with speeds.
I gave him the Everlast settings for 16 ga steel 45 threads ago.
Oof.
If I was an inexperienced user, I’d definitely value any information given to me by those more experienced.
I forgot you run an Everlast, all I know is you don’t run limit switches
