I know this is an old machine but, it is what I have.
Hypertherm Powermax 600 I installed a PAC123m machine torch on this machine and the air post flow is so long that the torch will misfire.
With the PAC123t hand torch I don't have this issue.
The question: Is there a way to shorten the post flow to correct this problem? Or what do I need to look for in the connection to the machine?
I have not been able to find a wiring diagram of the quick connect for the PAC123m to the Powermax 600
I'm using Mach3, sheetcam and Qcad (licensed)
Thanks In advance
Jim

Re: Hypertherm Post flow
Ok
Today the torch was almost flawless which leads me to believe that something else controls the post flow on the powermax 600. Like one of the programs ie. sheetcam.

Re: Hypertherm Post flow
The post flow time is fixed on the Powermax600, and the unit is designed to start at any time during post flow (it shuts of air momentarily to allow the blow back electrode to contact the nozzle, then reactivates air flow to "blow back" the electrode to fire the torch. It is possible that the air solenoid valve that controls air flow may be sticking in the flow position......which would cause misfiring and long post flow. There is no adjustment to postflow.
