Hypersensing with THCAD - better way to do ohmic sensing

Hello, the point of my suggestion is that it will always work, whether at the beginning or in the middle of the file. It does not cause a delay in operation and does not allow a drop of water to remain in the nozzle! I have checked this and it has been working on many machines for a long time.

It does, about 2 seconds for every probe, so some of us doing about 2400 probes per session can not afford that. Pretty sure Rod and Stefan had more than that.

I understand how you feel Tom, every time I use my 125 it puts a large smile on my face. It has to be the best plasma machine I have ever used and I would by another one without thinking twice!

Back in 2013 when I first started researching CNC plasma machines, I had a sales rep come to my old job talking up the Hypertherm plasma cutters. He was very vocal about the cut quality and he said that he never thought plasma could cut well until he saw a Hypertherm unit cutting. I took his advice but my old boss would not spend the money for a Hypertherm unit since they were at least twice the cost of a regular plasma unit.

When I started my management job and was given some leeway in spending I brought the top of the line 125 unit and have not once regretted it. I am most happy when cutting 25mm plate. I cut some 25mm base plates the other day and they turned out perfect. Very Very happy.

Oh hell, now i need to find one !
Well i did find a Hypertherm Max 43, with all parts of the hand torch missing but the handle so i plopped 33 Euro in some chinese electrode/swirl ring/nozzle/cup and did some tests, pilot arc does not work, scratch start does not work since it is not made to do that, so took a short piece of 0.8mm CO2 welding wire and jammed it into the nozzle orifice pressed the trigger and did a scratchy and it worked !
So the low voltage/high current part is OK, but the pilot arc part is shot ... or the part in the torch that was responsible for blowback start is missing, as i did see some evidence of it being a blow back one. Need more time, 24h just not enough.

Lol that has been the story of my life for the last three years! So much to do, so little time.

Ha its good to know that things will get better Lol

Just noticed, this topic is getting HyperSensitive ^TM ....
