Ask Jim

WHY DOES MY TORCH MISFIRE?
Q. I have a plasma table with a Powermax65 on it. The system cuts 1/8 inch steel perfectly; however, when I try cutting on 14 gauge steel the torch often misfires and my piece doesn't get cut. Can you help me figure out what is happening?


A. I'm not sure what type of CNC machine you are using so I'll offer some generic advice! Usually, when you have an arc blowout at the beginning of the cut, it's because of one of three things.
LETTER FROM HYPERTHERM

With the political debate squarely focused on the economy and jobs, perhaps you've noticed that climate change and environmental sustainability have been pushed almost entirely off the stage. Who can devote time and resources to such things when combined unemployment and under-employment is 17 percent, and the federal deficit is approaching $15 trillion?
SUCCESS STORIES

MISSISSIPPI QUEEN CUT IN TWAIN
The Mississippi Queen is "the fulfillment of Mark Twain's dream," said The Delta Queen Steamboat Company, once proud owner of the vessel. Over time, however, Twain's dream has become too expensive to maintain so the riverboat, once the largest in the world, is currently being dismantled and prepared for a new life. Because of the size of the project and the unique challenges it poses, the company charged with the overwhelming task of salvaging her has turned to Hypertherm's plasma cutting technology-a first for the company's demolition work-for a quick and easy process.
Hypertherm Innovations

Hypertherm technology for non-Hypertherm systems: that's the premise behind Hypertherm's Centricut brand. The latest Centricut product offering helps owners of Kaliburn Spirit plasma cutting systems save money by giving them consumables that last much longer than the OEM version.
TECHNOLOGY TIP

ERROR FREE UPDATES WITH HYPERNET
If you own a Hypertherm EDGE Pro or MicroEDGE Pro CNC along with an ArcGlide THC and HyPerformance XD plasma system then you may have access to a powerful communications tool called Hypernet. Hypertherm's Hypernet is an Ethernet based protocol that allows the above systems to communicate with one another. Another advantage is that you can easily upload new software when it is available. However, it is important that all of your Hypertherm components-the CNC, THC, and power supply-are turned on. If not, the software update won't process correctly and your entire plasma set-up may stop functioning.

CARING FOR YOUR HPRXD TORCH
While a lot of people pay attention to their consumables, the torch responsible for holding those consumables is often taken for granted. Obviously though, torches work just as hard, facing the same intense heat and angry metal splatter as consumables do. A new torch care guide from Hypertherm is a good reminder of the steps owners of our HyPerformance HPRXD torches should take to ensure their torch is performing as it should.
