Understanding plasma arc ignition

Have you ever wondered what happens inside the HyPerformance® HPR or X-Definition™ XPR™ torch? Hypertherm’s Bill Sanborn gives you a quick overview of the plasma arc ignition sequence, and understanding each stage of the process helps you optimize your system performance.

This was very informative…thank you!

[@gauravmali3677]

Thanks for clearing my concept about the pilot arc formation 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@mehmeteroglu3952]

Thank you for your good presentation.

[@crystalblueocean]

Great video, Bill, thanks

SIR KINDLY ANSWER ME THIS QUESTION Which of the following best describes the torch and consumable coolant system in HT mechanized plasma systems?

[@brucetiller2360]

Now I understand it, thanks!

[@mohamedsalouane-762]

Exemplary, you deserve the stars of the sky. I have a question for my dear friend. The question is, there is a malfunction in the machine Error code
number 020 mashin HPR130XD ( I checked
020 -No pilot arc
No current detected from
chopper at ignition and
before 1-second timeout.
1. Verify that the consumable parts are in good condition.
2. Verify proper preflow and cut-flow settings.
3. Perform gas leak tests (see Maintenance section).
4. Verify spark across spark gap.
5. Inspect CON1 and pilot arc relay for excessive wear.
6. Perform gas flow test (see Maintenance section).
7. Perform torch lead test (see Maintenance section).
8. Perform start circuit test (see Maintenance section).
I did not know the holidays, thank you

@@mohamedsalouane-762 I'm sorry you are having trouble with you system. Please contact our technical support team directly. We can not do trouble shooting through TH-cam.

[@erwingurning3660]

I got problem with my cnc plasma cutter, when manual ignite the arc (HF system) Working but can't cut because only spark come out through the nozzle

[@jakubokon7603]

What could happend if we would reverse plus and minus. That's mean nozzle would be positive and workpiece negative?

[@greamcreed4ae704]

Thanks a lot buddy

[@lypower5018]

We have the similar plasma product which used in boiler ignition.

[@policarporeyesjr7074]

Thanks.

[@alializada9059]

Hello, what does alert 520 mean? How can I solve that problem?

[@fabiosouzagomes9374]

Show explanation 👏👏👏

[@Aleks._v_en]

Hi Bill . I have HPR130 error phase loss ( psb3_04909) phase loss test- done. Led10 psb3 blieding again.
What could be the problem???

[@sebastianmathew9846]

Informative

[@eduardodaquiljr9637]

Is pilot arc manually on and automatically dis-connected from the circuit?

[@cristianjuretich1683]

Hello, How plasma know how much current is in work table? is there a sensor? which is and how it works?

[@istratenicolae9017]

where can I find information about haco apc 59t?

[@eddieram2714]

Hi Bill, I have a HPR130 ran by a microEDGE Hypertherm Automation, at the moment i am having some problems with it, im out in California what is the best way to reach someone from Hypertherm to get some technical Assistance.

[@hypertherm]

Hi Eddie Ram. The best place for you to get assistance would be to go to our Hypertherm.com website and fill out the "Contact us" form for technical assistance.

[@eduardodaquiljr9637]

Does the relay acts automatically?

[@jpg7051]

We just got in our new hypertherm max200. It's like Christmas over here for myself and the other operator

[@lavahond5213]

thank

[@victoryfirst2878]

What is the cost of a 100 percent duty cycle machine that you sell ??? Thanks

[@myselfremade]

Depends on current

[@emmanueladorsu1337]

I have a starfire cnc and the input and output coordinates got corrupted. Diagnosis section. I tried every thing I know but can't get my machine to work again.. the machine starts without acr fire

[@hypertherm]

I'm sorry to hear you are having issues. please contact our technical service dept for help with that. which plasma system do you have on the startfire table?

[@lakshmikandhan280]

we are used XPR 300 what is the reason torch will burn

[@theinel]

What confusing me for years is that I dont see any wire connected to the electrode In HPR130 and HPR260 torchs, it's only one wire connected to the nozzle. Any one can explain this ???

[@hypertherm]

High amp plasma cutters use liquid cooled torches. We install a wire inside the coolant line to carry the electrical current out to the electrode.
By installing it inside the coolant line and exposed to the coolant we are able to provide high amp capacity through a smaller than normal wire gauge size.

[@xAeschylusx]

Is he green screened and put in that room? Or is he just a ghost

[@harshilsinhrathd4270]

Why plasma touch connect in negative polarity?

[@charlieval1103]

current pass from negative to positive..
