can you run this g-code?

[timberfab]

Here are the details short and sweet.

6x12 homebuilt table
the latest candcnc dragon cut electronics w/ DTHC
hypertherm 1650

Table is set up, I'm just trying to set up sheetcam to generate the best, easiest G-code
running the latest development version of sheetcam and the MP3000-DTHCII+dcc+hyt+scriber8 Post Processor.

I had cut rules set up before but it seemed like there was a delay at the beginning of each corner etc. this code has no cut rules just the offset.

Could you run it with no torch to see if it has any delay where the DTHC would turn off and on?

also look at the code and see if it look normal or if there are obvious issues.

I won't be at the shop till much later and just wanted to see if it was me or the code!


Thanks!

To me the code looks terrible. What is all the monkey business from line 140 to 240??

What does your M22 do ?

Why turn on THC just to turn it back off again ?

Just a thought, (;-) TP

[JJsCustomDesigns]

Seems to run ok. I ran it thru a CNC Simulator.

Im not sure either what is going form 140 to 240 - - M22 is a "Cutting On" Command- Maybe its used for the scribe/ plate marker?

[timberfab]

Not sure what all that busy-ness is at the top. It just generates it automatically. This is the latest Post and version of sheetcam that Tom from CandCNC recommended

[vmax549]

That is a post for the latest auto setting for the newest hypertherm plasma units the M22 is a DELAY (;-).
Seeing you are using the older 1650 unit I am not sure that would be the best post for you. Did your OLD post work ok??

What version Mch3 are you using. That post was designed for the latest V.067 mach3 release.

Just a thought, (;-) TP

[timberfab]

I'll take a look at the exact version, but it was the latest version. my switch to this post came after a discussion about small circle slow down and DTHC off functions. My previous post worked, but did not turn off the DTHC and did not slow down for circles and curves.

It could have been accomplished in sheetcam i guess, but i was looking for a simpler "global" solution than adding cut rules, drawing in multiple layers, building up a tool library with 2 tools for each material. so while i may not be able to utilize all of the features of the new Powermax series cutters and CandCNC automation, the 2 functions I was looking for are present in the POST. slowdown and DTHC off and on (hopefully with no delay)

[timberfab]

my version of Mach is R3.642.029

[vmax549]

IF memory serves me the newest CandCNC POST was designed to run with the latest Version .067 of mach3 AND the latest plugin for CandCNC.

Just a thought, (;-) TP
