Great, I'll reach out as soon as I can. won't be later than 5 MST.

To save time, should I get 5.20 installed and ready? Even though I currently cannot cut with it?

The later the better for me as I am at my day job. How late are you available?

Thank you for that.

I am using a limit switch mounted about the Z axis slider and the boss manufacturing break away. Both are wired as normally open.

Some help with the update would be sweet, it was more user-friendly and if it has better smoothing, even better! A video thing like you were saying would be great as putting my problems into words would be very hard.

where is Parameter #223? Is that in the wizard?

I will get on those straight ...

Joey,

Would it help at all if I went and did a couple 4" line tests? 1 in the X direction, 1 in the y direction but with smoothing on and off? and send those plots?

Joey,

I cannot update to the 5.2 software. I tried and had nothing but problems with my torch touch-off and break-away switch as it won't let me set pin 1 to normally open. I spent a whole day trying and switching wires around and no previal so I went back to 5.10. My touch-off would work but it ...

Good morning.

I am having trouble with the THC on my plasma table.

It works great in the X direction but not the Y direction.

I cannot for the life of me figure out why or how this is even possible.

It happens in straight lines in the Y direction along with circles where the y direction is ...

Between decreasing the acceleration to .2, getting the calibration perfectly dialed in (that took a while) changing the velocity anti-dive ratio to 95%, increasing the anti-dive threshold to 10%, and increasing the Z velocity to 200 ipm.

Everything works as it should.

Thank you so much for your ...

Here are those pictures of my axes. There was no issue bumping up the acceleration up to .2. I just can’t get the Y/A axes over 250 ipm without the stepper loosing steps because of the gear reduction I think, they just don’t have enough power. I’ve already tried lowering, and raising the resolution ...

I’ll get some pictures of the axes after work and address some of the changes. All I can do for now is try to explain it.

- The Y and A axes have a have a small cog gear on them with a belt leading to a larger cog gear then it has a shaft going down to the rack and pinion. Giving me a 4:1 overall ...
