Took me a couple of months to figure it out. Just make the occasional pierce height reduction and I'm able to get all my jobs cut with little delay.

With keeping the water level at its maximum height, my machine is running great again. As the tip wears further, I'll go down to 0.12, 0.10, and so on.

For example, cutting 12 gauge mild steel with 40 amp tip. Floating head with a limit switch referenced to Z home. Home built plasma table controlled by a Gecko G540 running Mach3. With that done, as my torch tip begins to wear, causing the symptom to resurface, I'll adjust my pierce height lower. Hi, Im having a few issues setting up my post processor in Sheetcam for my floating head. )Īfter a lot of frustration, I added water back to my table, and most importantly, fill it to the top of the slats, until its about ready to start overflowing onto the floor. The water made the table too heavy to move and I didn't care about the smoke as it was outside. In doing so, I added heavy casters to the legs and push the machine outside to do all my cutting. (I am semi-retired now and moved my machine to my home shop. The main problem with my machine is that I had little to no water in my table. All of that runs fine, no configurations changed since original purchase and setup. The good news is it had nothing to do with my hardware or post processor commands.

I’ve read the post at the following link, which is why I am asking about my settings: Browse to C:Program Files (x86)SheetCam TNG Developmentposts. Right click on the post file and select Copy. When installing the post processor there are two options: Method 1 - Recommended. Can I do anything different to have more reliable performance of my THC? If anyone can chime in and let me know if I should be focused on SheetCam, or Mach3, or something else, I’d greatly appreciate the help. The post processor is located in the SheetCam Machines folder.

Cutter is a Thermal Dynamics A60 Cutmaster.Īt this point I want to learn if my post processor is generating optimum code for the hardware and software configuration I am using. The THC is from PlasmaRoute CNC model PR301. If I turn OFF the “THC ON/OFF” on Mach 3, the torch will proceed with cutting, but the results are beyond lousy. (Bad air, bad consumables aside, none of my usual workarounds are working.) The torch is on but does not proceed with the cut. Everything freezes after the M03 command.

I have run my plasma CNC about 5 years, nursing “dry air” issues along the way.
