What are the common faults in the use of plasma cutting machines?

Plasma cutting machine has high power and improper use will seriously affect the cutting effect of plasma cutting machine and shorten the life of wearing parts. Next, we will list some common usage failures:

图片1

1. There is a pilot arc on the cutting torch, but it cannot be transferred.

Reason: (1) Poor contact of the working cable on the cutting bed.

(2) System function failure.

(3) The distance between the cutting torch and the workpiece is too large.

2. There is no penetration of the workpiece perforation and there are a lot of sparks on the surface of the workpiece.

Reason: (1) The current value setting is too low (can be adjusted according to the information in the “cutting table”)

(2) The cutting speed is too fast (can be adjusted according to the information in the “cutting table”)

(3) The parts of the cutting torch are worn.

(4) The thickness of the cut metal is too large.

3. Molten slag is generated at the bottom of the cutting workpiece.

Reason: (1) The cutting speed is not correct (can be adjusted according to the information in the “cutting table”)

(2) The arc current setting is too low (can be adjusted according to the information in the “cutting table”)

(3) The wearing parts or parts of the cutting torch are damaged

4. The cutting angle is not a right angle.

Reason: (1) The distance between the cutting torch and the workpiece is incorrect. (Can be adjusted according to the information in the “cutting table”)

(2) The cutting speed is incorrect. (Can be adjusted according to the information in the “cutting table”)

(3) The arc current is incorrect. (Can be adjusted according to the information in the “cutting table”)

(4) The vulnerable parts are damaged.

5. Short life of wearing parts.

Reasons: (1) The arc current, arc voltage, travel speed, movement delay, air flow rate or initial cutting torch height were not set in accordance with the provisions in the “cutting table”.

(2) Cutting the strong magnetic metal plate (such as the armor plate with higher nickel content) will shorten the life of the wearing parts. When cutting magnetic plates or magnetized plates, the service life of wearing parts is difficult to last.

(3) There is no start or end cutting on the surface of the plate. To extend the life of wearing parts, all cuts must be started or ended on the plate.
