TORCH STARTED MOVING BEFORE CUTTING VOLTAGE WAS SENSED
Below are the possible causes for this issue:
- If your plasma cutter did not fire at all before the cut was stopped, the cause for this issue is
that the pierce delay in your program is too short. As a result, the torch started moving before the plasma cutter arc turned on.
We recommend going back to your CAM software and increasing your pierce delay to a minimum of 0.5 seconds when cutting on our
machine. Additional delay will be needed for thicker material.
-
If your plasma cutter did fire before the cut was stopped, the cause for this issue is
that the pierce delay in your program is too long. As a result, the torch burned out the pierce hole and
extinguished before it had a chance to move. We recommend selecting 'RETRY CUT' and using the Pierce Delay Override
to decrease your pierce delay.
-
Another cause for this issue is incorrect voltage wiring from your Plasma Cutter to the THC Port.
Are you seeing a good Live Voltage (50-140V) reading in the THC CONTROL panel when the torch is on?
If not, please make sure your THC is wired correctly and follow the THC Health Test Wizard in the THC Module or the
LS-THC Troubleshooting Guide.
