I never experienced this either But I rarely cut longer than 400mm
Customer says on a long cut, the torch comes down and hits the material and crashes.

I am guessing this has something to do with PID settings but I never used anything other than default settings. Any ideas on how to correct this would be appreciated.

Level flight would be appreciated. I do remember when a light aircraft thought he was flying level but ploughed in well short of the runway with tragic and fatal consequences. Pilot could see the town lights and flew visual instead of by instruments. Seems this is similar,

Is the void lock disabled?
Old info, but had this happen often on PlasmaC while it was still being developed, does require setting VAD at under 75% and disabling void lock.
Did not happen probably last two years.

Also does absolutely require monitoring the voltage, as it can be caused by the plasma source dropping the voltage due to heat or mains voltage going up (transformer plasma) or issues with current control (inverter plasma).

Thanks Tommy. We had not discounted plasma voltage changes and had some ideas to check if that is it.
