How to improve cut quality on Hypertherm Powermax 85?
If the cut quality is poor with your Hypertherm Welding System, verify that the torch is being used correctly. Inspect the consumables for wear and replace them if necessary. Check the air pressure and air quality. Also, verify that the cutting mode switch is in the proper position for the cutting operation and that the correct consumables are installed.
What to do if the arc blows out on Hypertherm Powermax 85 Welding System?
If the arc of your Hypertherm Welding System blows out but re-ignites when you press the torch trigger again, inspect the consumable parts and replace them if they are worn or damaged. Replace the gas filter’s element if it is contaminated and make sure the gas pressure is at the proper level.
What to do if the arc does not transfer to the workpiece with Hypertherm Powermax 85 Welding System?
If the arc does not transfer to the workpiece with your Hypertherm Welding System, clean the area where the work clamp contacts the workpiece to ensure a good metal-to-metal connection. Inspect the work clamp for damage and repair as necessary. The pierce-height distance may be too large, so move the torch closer to the workpiece and try firing the torch again.
