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 help...

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. -...

Auto THC, got it. I’ll just plan on doing a calibration every time I use a different cut profile for now, but how would I get “actual voltage” if I wanted to update the target voltage? Turn THC off and do a cut watching the voltage and use that to set the target? I’ll try raising those numbers but t...

Joey - I can do that speed up the acceleration and see if that helps along with making sure that the material is perfectly flat. Do you think that that could be causing my issues where it goes the opposite direction and just stays there? Do I have to calibrate every time I change consumibles, materi...

Joey - thank you for the reply, see the images below, my apologies for not responding sooner, I was not able to get back over to my machine until tonight. Is there a way that I can open CNC 12 without being connected to the machine? My CNC PC is portable. I have more or less confirmed that when the ...

Hello all - please help The THC on my new acorn build is not doing what it should be doing. the THC will dive or rise randomly, even if the voltage is incorrect, almost seems like it is going in the wrong direction. when it should be going up a little, it goes down, and vice versa. I was cutting som...

all - please see attached report Z home in the positive direction is a little strange to me. Do you all have x and y home at the positive limits as well. I came from Mach 3 and had home for all at xyz0 but z was offset 1" up. It may not be common practice, but is it possible? The only reason th...

Here are a bunch of pictures of my installation and the wiring diagram that I followed. Hopefully this helps!

Hello all, I am having some trouble with my new Acorn install. I got it all installed and everything works well besides when I try to home all axes', I have it set up Z, Y, and X as I want it but when it plunges the Z, throws a code for torch break away. I have a breakaway, float switch, and ohmic t...
