CUT 200 W/MT
10 Troubleshooting
Fault
Cause
Troubleshooting
Insufficient penetration
• Pressure drop during cutting
• Cutting rate too high
• Tilt angle of torch too great
• Material thickness too high
• Equipment parts worn or
damaged
• Output not adjusted
• Reset pressure monitor
• Reduce cutting rate
• Reduce tilt angle
• Use a lower material thickness
• Replace the equipment parts
• Adjust the output
Cutting arc breaks
• Cutting rate too low
• Torch standoff distance too high
• Material thickness too high
• Output too low
• Increase the cutting rate
• Reduce the torch standoff distance
• Use a lower material thickness
• Adjust the output
Excess dross formation
• Cutting rate too low or too high
• Equipment parts worn or
damaged
• Output not adjusted
• Adjust the cutting rate
Replace the equipment parts
• Adjust the output
Cutting nozzle burned
out
• Damaged or loose nozzle
• Contact with the workpiece
• Start of cut at the edge of the
workpiece too fast
• Too much spatter when punching
holes
• Pilot arc struck too long and too
frequently in the air
• Pilot arc too strong (depends on
the power source)
• Tighten the nozzle or protection
cap hand tight or replace the
nozzle if necessary
• Avoid contact
• Start cutting at a lower rate
• Start at as great an angle as
possible and slowly insert
• Shorten/avoid ignitions in the air if
possible
• Set the pilot arc current to the
lowest possible value
Strong electrode burn-out • Pressure drop while cutting due to
incorrectly set pressure monitor
• Loose electrode
• Pilot arc struck too long and too
frequently in the air
• Correct the pressure monitor
setting
• Tighten the electrode by hand
• Shorten/avoid ignitions in the air if
possible
