Preventative Maintenance Program (PMP). Hypertherm made this PMP specifically for your plasma system. The PMP has two parts: a cleaning and inspection schedule and a component replacement schedule.
Preventive Maintenance Program Cleaning and inspection schedule This is a daily, weekly, and monthly schedule for cleaning and inspections. The PMP has instructions for each task. These instructions help your personnel understand what to do and what to look for during each task.
Preventive Maintenance Program Daily Do a test of the inlet pressures 1. With the gas flowing in test preflow mode, make sure that the pressure at the regulator is set to 7.5 bar (110 psi). 2. Repeat the test in cutflow mode, and make sure that the regulator is set to 7.5 bar (110 psi). 3.
Preventive Maintenance Program Examine and lubricate O-rings 1. Examine all of the O-rings on the torch and consumables for damage or excess wear. 2. If you find damage or excess wear, replace the O-ring. Receptacle O-rings and torch O-rings for the torch main body are available as part of the torch rebuild and filter kit (428639 or 428640).
Replace the O-ring if you find damage or excess wear. Torch rebuild kits are available from Hypertherm. b. Apply a thin film of silicone lubricant (027055) if replacement is not needed.
Tighten loose connections if found, but do not make the connections too tight. b. Order a replacement hose, cable, or lead set if you find its fitting has damage or excess wear. Replacement hoses, cables, and leads are available from Hypertherm. ...
Preventive Maintenance Program Monthly WARNING ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL Disconnect electrical power before doing any installation or maintenance. All work requiring removal of the plasma power supply outer cover or panels must be done by a qualified technician. See the Safety and Compliance Manual (80669C) for more safety precautions.
Preventive Maintenance Program Examine the contactors 1. Examine the contacts for black or rough surfaces: For the XPR170 (left), examine the main contactor For the XPR300 (right), examine the main contactor and inrush contactor 2. If you find too much of this condition, replace the contactor. Examine the pilot arc relay 1.
5. If the coolant flow remains slow, see How to measure coolant flow in your system’s instruction manual. 6. If you cannot find or resolve the problem with these corrective actions, contact your cutting machine supplier or regional Hypertherm Technical Service team. Instruction Manual 809480...
Preventive Maintenance Program Examine the gas line connections Spray all of the gas line connections with soapy water. If bubbles appear on a gas line, tighten or replace it as necessary. See Part numbers for hoses, cables, and leads on page 32 for lengths and part numbers.
Preventive Maintenance Program Every 6 months Replace the coolant and coolant filter, and clean and examine the pump screen 1. Estimate the total coolant volume for your cutting system. See Estimate the total coolant volume for your cutting system in your system’s instruction manual. 2.
Page 22
Preventive Maintenance Program 5. Remove old coolant from the heat exchanger: a. Keep the 3/8-inch inner diameter tube connected to the outlet of the valve on the bottom of the reservoir on one end and the other end in the container. Green b.
Page 23
Preventive Maintenance Program f. Leave the coolant return hose (red band) disconnected from the rear of the plasma power supply. g. Put a container under the pump plug. h. Remove the plug and coolant pump screen and set them aside. i.
Page 24
Preventive Maintenance Program 7. Remove old coolant from the filter housing and replace the coolant filter: a. Remove the filter housing from inside of the plasma power supply. b. Discard all of the coolant from inside of the filter housing. c.
If you do not have a Hypertherm CNC and your CNC cannot track arc hours, use the guide below to estimate arc hours per year. This guide uses the average number of 8-hour shifts that the system operates on an average work day.

* This kit includes the air filter (011110), coolant filter (027005), and torch rebuild components. ** The number of gallons you need depends on the length of the leads. See your system’s instruction manual for more information, then record this number in Coolant requirements on page 39.
If any of these conditions or operations apply, change your replacement schedule as suggested. How much you need to change your schedule depends on how bad the condition is. If you have questions about your replacement schedule, contact your OEM or regional Hypertherm Technical Service team.
The best solution, if possible, is to improve the quality of the air supply. Contact your OEM or regional Hypertherm Technical Service team if you need advice on how to improve the quality of your air supply.
Preventive Maintenance Program Consumable use If you let consumables reach complete failure, they can melt. Copper pieces can then break off and go into the coolant. In the coolant, these pieces can cause the following problems: Decrease coolant flow Increase coolant flow errors ...
Preventive Maintenance Program Cut-cycle time When the cut-cycle is very short, relays operate more frequently. The system also pierces more frequently. Examples of this type of cycle are when you cut many small holes or make markings for numbers and letters. These types of operations can cause the following problems: Increase wear on pilot arc relay contact pads ...
