X45 torch quit firing

[wolfechuck]

I’ve been away from the table for a while. I checked everything out and test fired the torch. All was good.
I loaded a file, and the torch didn’t fire. Went searching through the forum and found maybe it was the relay, but I can hear the relay activating. I connected the hand torch, and it works just fine. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Check the to see if the plunger is stuck.

This person had the same comment but found a connection that just wasn’t in enough:

Torch won’t fire (SOLVED)

Problem solved. I found the connector on one of the wires was not making good contact when I pushed it in. Used a different connector and everything is good. Thank you everyone that replied.

Here is another thread you might look at:

Help! Torch won't fire on start from FireControl

It works! Thanks so much for the advice. I just pulled the relay and reset it. I also reversed the cables on the machine per nicaDd’s suggestion. It works perfectly! Thank you both so much!

Are you hearing air being released at the torch? Might be low air pressure.

Any alarms/lights on the plasma machine? You might try increasing the sampling:

I tried both of the suggestions & rechecked all connections and still no luck. But thank you both.

Work lead was attached to metal?

Can you upload the gcode to this forum. Basically it is a text file that you can copy from a text reader and copy into your post. Only need the first 30 lines or so. Or attach the nc or tap file.

So, I figured out its something with the torch. I put the hand torch back on it and its back to cutting. Will take the machine torch in for repair next week. Thank y’all for the input.
