Plasma smoothing issue

Post by Wintone72 »

New question to get the plasma cutting properly. I am having cut quality problems around radius’s the control smoothing is setup to multiply my ipm around corners I am needing it to slow down around radius’s. I am wondering if there is a way to reduce the speed to 60% of the set ipm around the radius? I am running acorn board.
Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure how this would be done with cnc12. I run several of the Plasmacam machines and the settings section has a machine control page with settings for corner acceleration, slower on circles/curves under (diameter/inch). I will look forward to learning if there is indeed a way to accomplish this with cnc12.

use the cad cam system to put the arc speed where you want it in the G code.
I've heard that SheetCam does this well...
