How to improve cut quality on Hypertherm Powermax 85?
If the cut quality is poor with your Hypertherm Welding System, verify that the torch is being used correctly. Inspect the consumables for wear and replace them if necessary. Check the air pressure and air quality. Also, verify that the cutting mode switch is in the proper position for the cutting operation and that the correct consumables are installed.
What to do if the arc blows out on Hypertherm Powermax 85 Welding System?
If the arc of your Hypertherm Welding System blows out but re-ignites when you press the torch trigger again, inspect the consumable parts and replace them if they are worn or damaged. Replace the gas filter’s element if it is contaminated and make sure the gas pressure is at the proper level.
What to do if the arc does not transfer to the workpiece with Hypertherm Powermax 85 Welding System?
If the arc does not transfer to the workpiece with your Hypertherm Welding System, clean the area where the work clamp contacts the workpiece to ensure a good metal-to-metal connection. Inspect the work clamp for damage and repair as necessary. The pierce-height distance may be too large, so move the torch closer to the workpiece and try firing the torch again.
What to do if Hypertherm Powermax 85 warns about low input gas pressure?
If your Hypertherm Welding System is showing a warning for low input gas pressure, adjust the gas inlet pressure as needed.
What to do if gas flow is lost while cutting on Hypertherm Welding System?
If you've lost gas flow while cutting with your Hypertherm Welding System, restore the gas inlet pressure and restart the power supply. Also, check the torch lead for leaks or kinking.
How to troubleshoot power ON LED not illuminated on Hypertherm Powermax 85 Welding System?
If the power ON LED is not illuminated on your Hypertherm Welding System, even though the ON/OFF power switch is set to ON, verify that the power cord is plugged into the receptacle. Also, verify that the power is ON at the main power panel or at the line-disconnect switch box, and that the line voltage is not too low (more than 15% below the rated voltage). Finally, verify that the circuit break has not been tripped.
What to do if there is no gas input on Hypertherm Powermax 85 Welding System?
If there is no gas input to your Hypertherm Welding System, connect the gas source and restart the power supply.
What to do for low gas pressure on Hypertherm Powermax 85 Welding System?
If your Hypertherm Welding System indicates low gas pressure, check the input gas supply and adjust the gas pressure to the acceptable range using Manual mode.
Why does the arc sputter and hiss on my Hypertherm Powermax 85 Welding System?
If the arc of your Hypertherm Welding System sputters and hisses, it could be due to a contaminated gas filter element. Replacing the element might solve the issue. Also, inspect the gas line for any signs of moisture. If necessary, install or repair the gas filtration to the power supply.
