Hi. We have a Torchmate X table and seem to be having some problems.
When we start a cut it seems to cut fine but eventually the plasma torch does not cut all the way through and just marks the top of the material.
This is thicker material but I think it also does it with thinner material. Smaller pieces seem to cut fine but when you get on the bigger pieces eventually it starts not cutting all the way through. But if I stop and pause the cut, wait for a minute, then let it go again it seems to work fine.
I have noticed the input gas light comes on the Flexcut 80 box at times and the torch will not fire. Turning the flexcut box off and on seems to get it working again.
I think it is either the Flexcut 80 or the actual torch body. All the consumables have been replaced and the problem still happens. It seems like I am going through electrodes quickly just trying to cut anything with it.
I am trying to track down whether it is a piece on the plasma torch or the Flexcut 80 as it just had repairs done on it. The repair depot did not actually test the Flexcut before they returned it to us as they did not have the torch for it.
