Primeweld Cut 60 CNC wiring pins

I am not affiliated with Primeweld. I am just saying that the ones I have tested were all in the 50:1 range. All I am saying is to use the RAV and don’t use the CNC port. The only other thing is maybe people are plugging the RAV into the 50:1 port.

Yes I agree if the CNC port on the Primeweld is putting out more then the controller can handle then it will overload it.

Glad I saw this thread before wiring up my VIM. Seems like my Cut 60’s “50:1” pins put out around 10-12 volts when running. It’s almost like they’ve got the 13:1 one mixed up or something (I haven’t tested what the 13:1 outputs). I’m going to instead use the raw voltage pins (5 and 7) and run that into the raw input of the VIM instead, so at least I don’t have to open up the case.

Did you wire it to the raw voltage inside or the CNC ports? If using the CNC port have you had good luck using it? Just curious

There are pictures in this thread

Only use the CNC port on that Primeweld cut 60 if it is on the top right. Divided voltage.

If the CNC Port is on the bottom right then use raw voltage.

I have mine wired to the raw voltage inside the machine. I was just curious who has and has not had issues. Initially I wired it to the divided voltage using the CNC port. Never had an issue but after reading the PSA from Langmuir explaining that some developed issues after making several successful cuts I switched it to the RAW voltage inside the machine. Justified or not I felt like I was operating a time bomb having it wired to the divided voltage.

Where did you get the diagram to hook cut 60 direct ?

@nicaDd has a tutorial he put together for PrimeWeld

If I have the original table with just torch fire control do I just wire pin 1 and 2 on the primeweld ? Am I wiring the cable that connects to the table controller to pin 1 and 2 ?

You wire the cable that plugs into the “torch on/off” port to pins 1 & 2. Wire color doesn’t matter, just one wire to each pin.

do you know where that diagram is currently?

Hey Reece, I didn’t realize you posted here but I replied to your message with lots of pictures and details. Hope it helps.

Listen @Reelwelding. Just click on the spyglass on the top and type in Prime 60. Three hundred people cannot be wrong. Wire the cutter for Raw voltage and start making money. The divided voltage board is a constant problem with that unit. Save yourself a lot of typing and headache.
As always, this is just my opinion. Yes, it may work, but the odds are it won’t for very long.

Hooked up Raw voltage, I wasn’t thrilled about taking a brand-new machine apart but obviously it was necessary. I appreciate the feedback. Just got the last of my parts in the mail!

I’m interested in connecting inside the machine. I would like to see a straight forward photo of that connection.

@Charlie this PDF is quite clear it’s been floating around the forum for awhile.

did @nicaDd make this pdf?

Thanks. It looks exactly what I need. Hope to get my first cut in this weekend.
