Hey there, Can you help me setup my LTP 5500D plasma cutter with my CNC table. I connected the start signal with the relay coming out of my controller but for some reason, the plasma cutter stops the arc by itself even when the relay is telling it to start the arc. Have you had the same issues? If so how did you solve it?
The arc sometimes goes out on mine, like it'll start and go but then cut off after a few seconds. It's usually a problem with the travel speed, work height, or grounding.
@@jcatzcustoms I currently don't have a THC on my Table, Do you think that could pose a problem on the arc start and stop? The standoff height while I tried cutting was around the recommended value. The torch is pilot arc, which should have helped maintain the arc even when the standoff height get a little bigger than the recommended value. And shouldn't the arc restart when the grounded work piece is in its standoff height range? Thank you for the quick reply🙂
Interesting. It might depends on the cutter. Mine does not restart until it hits the next torch start code in the program. A THC would help maintain the height. I am able to make decent cuts on thicker material that doesn't warp with the THC off. Sorry I'm not much help! Let me know what it winds up being
