OVERVIEW

Restore Safety and Functionality to Your Miller Plasma Cutter

The Miller 249973 Cup Detect Switch is an essential replacement component designed to maintain the safety and operational integrity of your Miller plasma cutting system. This switch is specifically engineered for the XT-Series plasma torches, including the popular XT-30, XT-40, and XT-60 models found on Spectrum plasma cutters. Over time, the mechanical switches inside a torch handle can wear out due to repetitive use, dust ingress, or thermal cycling. When this safety switch fails, your machine may refuse to arc or persistently display a "Cup" fault error, even when the consumables are correctly installed.

This kit provides a direct replacement for the original equipment, ensuring a perfect fit inside the torch handle without the need for modification. The package includes the microswitch assembly along with the necessary mounting screws, allowing for a straightforward repair that can be performed on the workbench. By replacing a faulty cup detect switch, you ensure that the machine correctly identifies when the retaining cup is in place, which is a critical safety feature that prevents the torch from firing while exposed parts are accessible.

Whether you are troubleshooting a machine that won't start or performing preventative maintenance on your shop's cutting equipment, the Miller 249973 switch is the reliable solution. It is built to meet Miller's high standards for durability and performance, ensuring your plasma cutter is ready for heavy-duty industrial use. Don't let a small sensor halt your production; keep your XT torch operating safely and efficiently with this genuine-style replacement part.
