The plasma arc sputters or
hisses, or you lose the
plasma arc.
• Make sure that the cartridge is installed correctly.
• Examine the cartridge. Replace it if it is worn or damaged. A higher rate of 0-30-0
faults is typical as a cartridge gets near end-of-life. Refer to the
Powermax65/85/105 SYNC Operator Manual
(810470).
• Examine the gas filtration system for signs of moisture. Refer to the
Powermax65/85/105 SYNC Operator Manual
(810470).
The plasma arc does not
transfer to the workpiece.
• Clean the workpiece surface of any material that can prevent a good
metal-to-metal connection.
• Make sure that the work lead is correctly connected to the plasma power supply.
• Make sure that the work lead is making good contact with the cutting table or
workpiece, and is not damaged. Repair or replace it if necessary. Refer to the
Powermax65/85/105 SYNC Parts Guide
(810490).
• Make sure that the cutting table is correctly grounded and is making good contact
with the workpiece.
• Decrease the cut height. Refer to the
Powermax65/85/105 Cut Charts Guide
(810500MU).
The torch does not
completely pierce the
workpiece, and there is
excessive sparking on the
top of the workpiece.
• Examine the cartridge. Replace it if it is worn or damaged. A higher rate of 0-30-0
faults is typical as a cartridge gets near end-of-life. Refer to the
Powermax65/85/105 SYNC Operator Manual
(810470).
• Decrease your cut speed.
• Restart the plasma power supply. Does it correctly recognize the type
of cartridge installed? Does it correctly set the amperage and
operating mode to align with the cartridge? If it does not, look at the
LCD screen. Do you see the icon at right on the LCD screen? If yes,
there is possibly a plasma power supply configuration setting that you
must change. If no, there is possibly a problem with the cartridge, torch, or plasma
power supply. Refer to the
Powermax65/85/105 SYNC Operator Manual
(810470).
• Increase the output current (A) on the plasma power supply.
• If the output current (A) cannot be increased, do a check to see if the thickness of
the workpiece is more than the maximum capacity for this plasma power supply.
Refer to the cutting specifications in the
Powermax65/85/105 SYNC Operator
Manual
(810470).
• Clean the workpiece surface of any material that can prevent a good
metal-to-metal connection.
• Examine the torch lead. Make it straight if it is twisted or kinked. Replace it if it is
damaged.
• Examine the gas pressure and the gas supply hose.
• Adjust the gas flow rate. Refer to the gas supply specifications in the
Powermax65/85/105 SYNC Operator Manual
(810470).
• Make sure that the cut chart parameters or the program code values are correct.
Refer to the
Powermax65/85/105 SYNC Cut Charts Guide
(810500MU).
