    Why is the torch not firing on my Bend-Tech Industrial Equipment?
    • J
      Jordan ThomasAug 2, 2025
      If the torch on your Bend-Tech Industrial Equipment is not firing, several factors could be at play. First, verify that the Hypertherm is powered on and that all power and control box cables are securely connected. Next, check the torch height using a feeler gauge and perform the Torch Mount procedure. Ensure the air supply and pressure are adequate. Inspect the torch consumables and refer to the Consumables Guide. Check the ground connections, ensuring the clamp is connected and all ground cables are secure. Lastly, confirm that the torch wand switch is turned on.

    Why are the cuts jagged on my Bend-Tech Industrial Equipment?
    • B
      Brad RamirezAug 15, 2025
      If you notice jagged cuts on your Bend-Tech Industrial Equipment, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure that the material feed rate isn't too high. Verify that the amperage is set according to the cutting charts; you might need to adjust it for optimal results. Make sure the material moves freely in the gate without being too tight. Lastly, check the tension on the X cable and adjust it as needed.

    How to fix round holes coming out oval on Bend-Tech Industrial Equipment?
    • J
      Jennifer DavenportSep 12, 2025
      If you are getting oval instead of round holes with your Bend-Tech Industrial Equipment, there are several potential causes. Try adjusting the material feed rate. Ensure the material is secure in the chuck. Verify that the material moves freely in the gate without any play. Perform a Backlash Test in Machine Library > Mechanical Settings. Remove the trolley cover and visually inspect for backlash, ensuring all motors are tight and all X Axis set screws are tightened.

    Why cope at both ends of tube aren't on same rotation Bend-Tech Industrial Equipment?
    • K
      Katherine WalkerNov 26, 2025
      If the cope at both ends of the tube are not on the same rotation on your Bend-Tech Industrial Equipment, several factors could be the cause. Ensure the material is tight in the chuck and that, if you're using spacers, their measurements are correct. Check the part in Edit Flat to ensure the settings in Nesting Project are correct. Remove the trolley cover and observe backlash on the Y motor; adjust on the machine if incorrect, and use zero backlash in Dragon software. Remove the trolley cover and perform a visual and physical check of the Y motor and Y Motor Drive Gear. Check Ethernet connectivity; ensure the breakout board is seated in motor drivers properly; ensure consistent power to the machine; if the Y motor is skipping steps, adjust Y acceleration or RPM in Dragon software.
