Re: Issues During upgrade to Plasma pro

Hello Gabs, What does your float switch look like? is it really just one switch? When testing the float switch you are using the Torch Touch button on the VCP correct? If the Float switch is ever triggered outside of a Touch off macro the float switch trip will be treated like a breakaway. The Torch...

Re: dual tool on a 4 axis plasma table, torch/drill motor on z

Hello Jared  I think it is more common and much easier to have both the Spindle and Torch on the same Z axis. In this situation the torch would be on a Piston slide that would activate and extend the torch below the spindle when the Torch is in use. Andy Has been posted with his plasma/drill router ...

Re: plasma stoping randomly and cant restart program

5.08 is the current release.

The 5.06 post at the top of the plasma forums is actually linked to the 5.08 release download page.

Did you run the job more than once? Was it stopping in the same places?

Re: plasma stoping randomly and cant restart program

Hey Jerry I'm not seeing anything to out of normal. Can you share the G-code so I can try it on my machine? Restart mode is general is more robust in 5.08 and it might be worth updating.

Re: DIY Table Upgrades

Hey mark, Looks like your Table is cutting very nicely in the last Facebook post I saw. I was just looking back over your report and I see your resolution is still quite low. The Gearboxes helped your overall turns ratio tremendously but the counts per rev is still at 1600. I wasn't able to find you...

Re: MPG Plasma Lost RF

Hello Byan, The Com errors are Packets that are sent between the Acorn and the PC. I checked out your THC plots and there's interference. Have you fired the torch yet? I wouldn't advise it until the Ground loop or interference is sorted. I'm thinking that this is related to the COM errors and the US...

Re: communication stress test fail...Help!

Missed the Google Album link. That helps a lot! The orange line at the bottom of the plot that is flat is the THC enabled line. The Plot shows that THC never enabled in the plot. The light green line is the target voltage. And the yellow is the actual voltage during the cut. The Plots look good. 👍
