Question about Automation Kit - 9-8311

Post by nortonscustoms »

I ordered the Automation Interface Kit - 9-8311 for my Cutmaster 82 but am unsure what all it comes with. The picture shows what appears to be a receptacle that mounts in the back of the machine. Do I need to order a generic plug to wire my THC and TC into? I appreciate any insight you may have.

Thanks

I expect this kit is similar to the CPC upgrade kit for the Hypertherm. This will include the parts to install into your cutter, but you will still need to either build or buy the appropriate torch control cable to connect to your specific table/controller.

David thank you! The "CPC" was the vital bit of info I was missing. Was able to track down everything I needed.

If anyone else needs to put together a CPC cord here's the Digikey parts numbers for the CPC plug.

Plug body. A1358-ND
Backshell clamp. 1-206070-8-ND
Pins. if your wires are 16-18ga A31987-ND
20-24ga A31989-ND

Glad to hear you've got it sorted out.
