Arc ok sensing
Posted: Fri Mar 22, 2019 11:54 am
Initially I was struggling with getting a consistent Arc OK signal to the GOFAB table.
I had 2 issues that seemed to have resolved this.
Firstly, the CPC cable had a pin that wasn’t completely seated in the harness, and the second one was simply dirty consumables.
I tried sanding the consumables with a fine grit sandpaper but that was a disaster, so I ended up putting them in my sandblaster (using glass beads) and it has significantly extended the life of my consumables and not affected the cut quality at all, and resolved the arc ok signal issue.
