Need help with my chinese plasma cutter!!

Post by Wise john »

Greetings to everyone....i bought an lgk -100IGBT from a chinese distributor.my problem is;
-During cut the plasma suddenly goes of and move along the path of cut without cutting and if am lucky it cut the next design.

-And using sheetcam to generate my g-code .but during simulate i discover it stops at one point .i am unable to figure out where exactly the problem is coming from(sheetcam doesn't show any error sign after u click plasma cut)
I will gladly embrace your contributions

Hi John, those cutters are pretty good, but probably you have recieved it with the cheap P80 torch which makes the trouble.

OK, I am not familiar with that plasma, it may not even have any but I thought I would ask first.

Do you have an air pressure gauge at the back of the plasma cutter to monitor input pressure when this problem happens?
