I recently ordered my very first plasma cutting table (CrossFire XL) and was planning on purchasing the Titanium 65 since it has the CPC port on it… However, I noticed that the Langmuir site provides a long list of plasma cutters that are not supported due to High Frequency emissions that can cause damage to the system… The Titanium is on that list… Should I stay clear of it?
Also, I would like to get a machine torch (set and forget) and use the handheld torch without disrupting my setup. Can someone provide a part number and location where I could purchase it?
By the time you buy the titanium 65 and then a machine torch for it you can buy a brand new Hypertherm powermax 45 xp for 350 dollars more. I have the titanium 45 w/plasmadyn machine torch and my XR table I have the Hypertherm powermax 45 XP.
What Richard said. I too have the Titanium 45, although if I didn’t already own it when I purchased my CF Pro I would have seriously looked at the Hypertherm simply for the buy once cry once reliability and proven performance. It’s what my Titanium wants to be when it grows up.
I must be missing something… When looking into the Hypertherm powermax 45 xp (assuming I purchase through Langmuir), everything I need would cost $2,775. However, the Titanium 65 would cost $1,100 (with coupon), plus the machine torch (assume $300), plus the torch mount ($75)… this would be $1,475.
This equates to a $1,300 difference… Can you help me understand how you arrived at $350 more?
I am thinking the machine torch is around 700 for the titanium 65 and cost of machine is 1350 with tax here. Regardless the Hypertherm is the best choice, have used Hypertherm for 40 years off/on hand cutting always outperformed any other brand machines I have used.
I have the Titanium 45 on my pro table been great cutter for the money, but it won’t hold up to 8 hours of cutting every day.
I have been reading several threads that lead me to find out that titanium65 works well and can be plugged into the cpc using the chord that langmuir sells for the hypertherm as far as the 20:1 signal if you read the titanium manual it states thay 20.1 is the default setting. That means it can be changed. Dig a little further and found out the titanium65 has dip switches to change the output. Just like the hypertherm unit. Tracked down the settings for the hypertherm and set the titanium dip switches to what the hypertherm says is 50:1. Checked the pinout of the cpc for both units and they match. Use this information at your own risk. But mine works well.
Hey I opened up my Titanium 65 today and saw the same dip switches, easy enough to switch over. So with the cable, it should be Plug ‘n’ play, according to you, right? But the CPC cable says it must be used with a machine torch. Wondering which torch you used with the titanium 65? Or if you overrode the trigger safety wiring on your manual factory torch?
I’m currently considering purchasing the X125 from PlasmaDyn for my Titanium 65. Can you use the Titanium consumables (tips/electrodes) in the x125 torch?
