On/Off Relay Hypertherm Powermax 85

[svieau]

Using Mach4 with sheetcam, ess and C-25 BOB. I got a Pricecnc AVHC10 hooked up for my THC. The question I have is the hookup the machine interface cable the 3 and 4 on/off of my torch on my Powermax 85. I don't know where to connect it to. Pricecnc told me it goes to a relay that I don't know where or what it is. If I need to add one which one and how am I to connect it, and where. Thanks for the help. Steve

With the C-25 BOBs you need an external relay to trigger the torch, with Mach 3 I used output #1 and used pin 9 with M3 to trigger. But Mach 4 seems to be different and use the spindle output (pin not known) and M9 to trigger it. I would look for a pin that is triggered by M3 off M5 which is easier for G-code and a post processor.
Side note where and when did you buy the Price AVHC-10 THC???

Thanks for the help. As for the Pricecnc AVHC10 I bought it over a year and half from Pricecnc, if you are interested the company was bought out by Xtreme Engineering, they are still in the UK. You can still can it from them. I have really not started my table so I really could not say too much about the unit, I heard it was real good.

Thanks for the reply I have one on the table I am using now and it is a very good unit, here is a video I made that may help you setup yours.

I made a mistake on the website for Pricecnc AVHC10 its not Xtreme Engineering but its Kronos Robotics. If anyone else is interested in this unit.

Thanks for the reply looked over the web pages does not seem encouraging.
