Re: THC not functioning properly

Good to hear

What model Steppers and Drives are on the X?

I've seen some tables that had under powered drives compared to the motors.

Re: THC not functioning properly

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. ...

Re: THC not functioning properly

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? Yes just make sure the cut is long ...

Do you think that that could be causing my issues where it goes the opposite direction and just stays there? Most of the Plots show the THC reacting correctly to the Actu...

Re: THC not functioning properly

Voltage Plots look pretty good. I see your Accel/Decell rate is at the default .5 for all axis. Try and Tune these to the lowest amount possible. Getting to at least .2-.3 for all axis will be a lot better. Getting the X Y and Z up to speed faster should help with THC reacting to the ARC voltage. Mo...

Re: THC not functioning properly

Hello MJF Can you take some screen shots of the most recent plot captures. Open the Plot In the F7 Utility menu. Inside the plot select File and navigate to the cncm folder to load a different plot. The failed cuts will create a plot file that will save to the cncm folder. I'm not at a PC currently ...
