G code issue

Post by kbenz »

I don't know if I changed a setting or what? when I run a new code on my plasma table (mach) the torch touches off, pierces and goes to the .060 cut height. but it stays locked there no matter the volts. If I run an older code it runs fine though.
Is there a setting somewhere?

Look at the top lines of the 2 G-codes and see if you are using the same pot processor.
Look down the G-code and see if you have S10 after the pierce (turn off DTHC), S20 turns it back on.

I see now the GO4 is a dwell

I changed my lead ins and outs from tangent(which I just started using) to arc and it ran fine

That is really strange. I can't see how tangent leadins would affect the THC.

For the auto DTHC to turn on, the pierce height has to be (somewhat) higher than the cut height. If it does not turn on your Z goes nowhere after it hits cut height (.060)

I said it "pierces and goes to the .060 cut height"

I pierce at .150
