Hypertherm Powermax 65 / 105 / 125

Every guide in the Hypertherm Hypertherm Powermax 65 / 105 / 125 library lists the candidate root causes its procedure rules out. These are the distinct failure modes we've documented so far, a useful starting point if you don't yet know which specific alarm or symptom you're chasing.

• 1

  Cut speed too slow causing molten metal to re-solidify below the cut (slow-speed dross)

• 2

  Cut speed too fast causing blow-back and bead on the top edge

• 3

  Cut height too high stretching the arc and widening the heat affected zone

• 4

  Worn consumables producing an irregular arc column

• 5

  Air pressure at the torch inlet too low or too high for the selected amperage

• 6

  Standoff distance too large causing the arc to stretch and erode the nozzle orifice

• 7

  Torch dragging on the plate surface damaging the shield and nozzle

• 8

  Excessive number of arc starts from short cuts increasing erosion rate
