Great little video, very informative. Like one of the other viewers I wasn't sure how to connect the plasma to the CNC, I've been looking in the wrong place! There are a few relays lined up on mine so it shouldn't take long to find the right one. Thanks for taking time to make the video.
3 phase is all 3 colours if i was wiring it to 2 phases , i would have used Black and Red because that is the 2 colours for North Amrican 240 volt single or 2 phase the white is normally used for Neutral which is linked in the breaker panel to Ground. Probably the reason they used red black white is because the wire was handy to use but 3 phase wire is Black, Red, Blue
I’m currently out on the road but I’m gonna say off the top of my head I used a 30 but that was the same circuit that I had for my power Max 65 also I didn’t run both of them at the same time of course. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help!
Hey tim I have a powermax 65 and a torchmate table. My question is my hypertherm doesn't not have a CNC port. Where can I get one? How do I put it in, or is there a different powermax 65 model?
I ordered mine with the port! I do believe Hypertherm sells a kit to convert and Non CNC port unit to a CNC port unit! Give Hypertherm tech support a ring and I'm sure they can help you out!
@@TRCa51 I ordered a powermax 65 and didn’t think I would get it, so I ordered a powermax 85 and now I have both. On the forum I am on a guy quoted that the 65 is edge start. I was unsure what he meant. I get it now, above a certain thickness then yes it’d be edge start. I really don’t think I’ll cut anything above 3/8”. I was asking him do I keep the 85 for my cnc table or should I sell it and run the 65. I will be mostly cutting 14g signs and 3/8” brackets.
Using the remote cable from Hypertherm, how is it connected to your controller for torch on/off? I have a Gecko G540, and would be grateful if you could assist.
Once you have your Hypertherm unit you should get an schematic of with pins that fire the torch. If you get the remote cable it is already wired for torch fire with a momentary switch. Cut the wire and there will be two wires that hook up to your controller for torch fire. It doesn't matter witch ones go where. On the torch mate its a two wire hookup. If you don't know witch outputs on your Gecko 540 google it of consult with Gecko witch controller output is for torch fire and then hook up the two wires and you should be in business! Hope this helps!
I put 3 of the Husky brand mini water separators together and the plastic one is the one supplied with the Hypertherm unit. A cheep solution getting clean dry air to the unit. Hope this helps!
Yes it was in my box. Its just a air paper filter that you can get on line for around 5 us dollars. The same type you would use at the end of your air line before a paint spray gun. .
+CoCmndr I just bought the package deal set up for CNC through a vender. The rocker was included it the kit not the cable. So I made use of what I had in the kit and made it work! I can't think of a time the I would need to use the rocker switch in set up, prototyping and production. Yes I am an Engineer, Machinist, welder and fabricator! Thank you for the comment!
Tim Robel ok I have the same setup you have. I cut the wire and have 3 colors of green, black and white. the green is obviously ground but how did you designate the black and white ones in regard to positive/negative? Thanks again Tim!

Thanks for making this video, I wish there were more like this out there.

Thank you.
I was thinking.
White= neutral
Green= safety earth.
Thanks for this video 👍
Your welcome! Thank you so much for the nice comment!
Thank You Kevin!
You’re welcome so sorry I just saw this!
hey what size breaker do you use for this plasma cutter?

That helps a lot actually we were thinking we needed and 80 amp breaker from everything we saw in the manual. Thank you for your help @@TRCa51
with the 65 can you order the powermax 45s power cord instead of getting the 65s wired up by an electrician?
+cliff Crosby You will need to talk to Hupertherm about that. Not hard to wire on your own though!

Tim Robel Okay than tim. Saved so many lives today
Is this edge start only ?
The powermax 65 will pierce half inch steel to start the cut! Edge start for 5/8”. I hope this answered your question?

@@trialnterror I have cut quite a bit of 3/8 inch with mine! Once you really get it set up great, it makes for such a nice cut!

@@TRCa51 Hello, the hypertherm remote is only a switch? if a put a cable between pins 3 and 4 it should start the plasma?
@@martinarraztio I believe so! Its been so long now I really can't recall!

Dear friend, which is the filter that show in the minute 2

Tim Robel the black filter is supplied by hypertherm??
Yes it was in my box. Its just a air paper filter that you can get on line for around 5 us dollars. The same type you would use at the end of your air line before a paint spray gun.

You must be an engineer --
You cut up a $150 remote when you could have bought the plug separate for $30 on fleebay

Hi Tim. I have the same remote cable. Is this the one you are using for the CNC cable?
Yes sir!
Tim Robel ok I have the same setup you have. I cut the wire and have 3 colors of green, black and white. the green is obviously ground but how did you designate the black and white ones in regard to positive/negative? Thanks again Tim!
Both the black wire and the white wire are hot. No positive negative here. That is the setup for 220v operations.
you dont explain nothing but the air inlet
