I have yet another issue with a Lincoln product, the flexcut 80 torch head and consumables. Just when i think this equipment is running properly I have issues in another area. The electrode will not unscrew. This is a new torch head. As the previous on did the same thing. You put an electrode in...

I spent a day last week on the phone with and engineer running over some of the basic test. There were a few bugs that we worked out in those test but the engineer doesn't feel that those were in anyway shape or form an issue. It did run better I felt. Monday a Lincoln tech/rep stopped by to...

Larry, I haven't seen anything like you mention. What I have seen/heard is one of the motors binding. Its not repeatable completely ramdom. Dnmeistr, Alignment is spot on.......

Chad, I would love nothing more than to call and speak with someone. Each time I have called tech support there have been long wait times, and I have waited to only get someone who wasn't familiar with my issues. I would then be transferred to someone who seemed knowledgable and would ask that I...

So contacted TM when this occurred and we went a few steps and everything checked out as it should have. So a 2nd table with more of the same gremlins.It has been a few days since I visited this issue because I needed to cool down. We are adding EMI filters today to see if that will correct any...

We finally got our replacement torchmate 4800 last Monday. We ran into a few problems... Namely the torch pins. 2 were bent and one was broke off..... We were able to take parts from the old machine to get this "new" one working..... Its cut great out of the box and in no time we were able...

Update.... El Jefe was able to get our table shipped out yesterday and the arrival is scheduled for 8-10am Monday, 10.3.16.

El Jefe, Thanks for that update as i'll be sure to look for that video when the new machine arrives. Also when did this change take place as our machine was manufactured this year? And in the spirit of full disclosure I want to inform those who are reading/watching this thread of the status of...

"A video of this test unique to each table is now included on the hard drive of the system as proof of the test cut." Where would this be located? How do we access this file?

I agree with everything above. Lincoln is standing by their product and getting this fixed for us properly. I just got off the phone with a representative confirming logistics. I hope to have the new table installed in a few days and be back at work. Lincoln's commitment to their products...

No penetration from cut example last night...

Bottom example was from last night before it stop penetrating. Top example was from this morning as the gantry was jerking about.

More issues at start up? Anyone else ever had these issues? Would a torch head cause the accumove to lose its position? Do you turn everything off at the end of the day or do you keep everything running?

This morning we start the machine and the datum position is way off. X-5.... nothing has changed since last night. The condition of this system is getting worse.....
