Hello I have a good program making multiple parts. Randomly the cut will not cut a profile. Any ideas
1/8 hot rolled steel
85ipm 45amp pierced delay 1 sec 80psi
Setting
Pierce .150
Cut height .125
What cutter?
I am certainly no expert, but I will gladly share what has been drummed into my thick skull by many patient fellows on this forum.
From your settings, I assume you are running a Hyp.45 sync. Have you actually measured the cut height you are using? Mine measured in 25 thou over the CAMed in setting. Had to set the cut height to .100 to get an actual .125.
If you are cutting over a water table you may need to reduce your speed. I dropped 20% on mine and it made a big difference.
I would also suggest dropping your pierce delay to 0.5 sec.
Is it possible you have a bad work lead connection, it almost looks like you are on pilot arc only. (been there, done that)
Good luck.
What is plot arc. I use fusion . Yes I have a 45 sync
The pilot arc is what fires first and ignites the main arc that does the cutting. It runs for about 3 seconds, and if the main arc doesn’t ignite, it shuts off. If the work lead connection is bad or even non existant, the main arc won’t ignite, but the pilot will run it’s 3 second course. I’ve had this happen on thicker plate, where all I got was a 3 second gouge before it shut off. Turns out I hadforgotten to hook up the work clamp to the material.
I’m only suggesting this as a possibility as that uncut area on your picture looked awfully familiar.
