Height control not working

Post by Nibex »

Hello

I have the powermax 65, recently the height control stopped working mainly for the thicker material. As soon as it cuts the out side it jams as if it isn't lifting quicker enough. The only way its working is to disable it ,let the torch pierce and run for a few sec then disable it. After disabled the touch lifts. Anyone know what may be wrong
thanks

The Powermax65 is your plasma cutter (Hypertherm), so if you would like help troubleshooting your height control you need to let us know what brand and model cnc machine and details about the height control and software, etc.
