Plasma cutting makes metal dust. If metal dust collects on the system components, it can decrease the life of the fans and other components.

The coolant-pump motor, primary power source, chopper, or heat exchanger fans can operate more slowly, or the fans can stop working. This can cause temperature-related errors.

The best solution to keep dust from collecting on system components is to clean the surfaces of the system components. Refer to Clean the internal surfaces of the system components.

If you let metal dust collect on the fans, replace them more frequently:
