Torch plundge

Post by Stark94 »

Goodday can anyone please help. I have a cnc plasma running on mach3 and sheetcam with a proma sd thc. My problem is at the end of cuts my torch plunges into my 16mm plate and when it moves to the next cut start it pushes into the plate and burns my tips. Any and all advice would be deeply appreciated. Thanks in advance

When you use the keyboard keys (page up and page down) does the torch move in the correct direction? The Proma SD has had many problems and it could be transfering the Z drive at the end of the cut to soon. Also there is a box to tell SheetCam to over cut at the end maybe you need to add cutting time with it.
