Mirrored movements on Torchmate 2 Table

Post by inspectweld »

We have the torchmate2 table and software and cad cam Lt version 9. Our problem is that the torch movements are mirrored and it causes the machine to cut in the wrong direction for the best cut quality. In other words the screen on the computer is correct but the torch movements are in a mirrored direction. How do we change that? We have been using this machine for about a year now and the cut quality is acceptable but not the best we would like. We had it confused on what side of the cut is supposed to be the best side all this time. Thanks

Go into your software, you can change the setting there. I believe it is the x and y axis polarity.

Thanks Gamelord but I did find out the problem shortly after I posted this. Apparently when I got this table over a year ago when I replaced the motors and installed the gear boxes I must have a wire crossed somewhere or something. So instead of trying to find the crossed wires I was able to find in the program where it allows change to motor direction on X or Y. Problem solved.
Let me ask, do you still have an old Torchmate table? Its hard to find someone who knows much about these tables.
