Where can i get some decent information about sheetcam rotary?

I am going to build a pipe plasma cnc, and i want to know if sheetcam rotary would be a good thing for me, but i cant find that much information.

Good day, I am thinking about making a separate tube notcher. i currently have a plasma table, but i want to use the same control box and plasma cutter (i have an extra torch for quick switch) for the pipe notcher. So i will replace the x-axis with the rotary. Making it is not the problem, i am thin...

I did a few tests today. i timed pierce time, put it in (2secs more to be "safe") and i checked my rapid speed. It was 10000, so added that aswell. When i have to do a bigger cut, i will make notes of everything.

When i make a job report on Sheetcam, i see the total run time, but it is way off(on a certain job the actual time was 1.5x calculated). I checked the cutting speed, and that is 100% on spot. So next step i checked if Sheetcam calculated each pierce, and yes it does. Next i was wondering what my rap...

I just checked g-code, it does say 0.1, so that part of the post processor should be allright...

Hello, My pierce delay is far from accurate. even when i have it on 0.1 sec, it waits more than 1 second to move. i found this in the post processor: if (pierceDelay > 0) then post.Text (" G04 P") post.Number (pierceDelay,"0.###") post.Eol() end shouldn't it be: (piercedelay,&quo...

Great, thankyou very much both of you!

Good to know that there is a good community around here. Pretty sure i wil run in some more problems later on:p

Thankyou, thats atleast a start!

I will adjust it and see how it works.

This is the table: https://www.pritec-automation.com/nl/product/acros-150/

Can you recommend me another post-processor? Table has x, y and a floating z-axis.

Thankyou for your time!

i put the job file in it, aswell as the g-code of it (check line 75-85) and the postprocessor.

But can i use any post processor, or am i limmited to the one of the table's brand?

Thankyou for replying, I use the postprocessor delivered by the table supplier. (its not a big company like those american brands) The thing is, like i said, all is fine if i use 3mm cutting height, if i make that 3,2 3,5 or 4, it does this problem. And when the job has 5 startpoints, its 1-2 random...

This is an example of the ignition.

So u see the z 40, thats the rapid height. (Behind M5 torch off)
Than coordinates of next startpoint, than M03 (torch on), pierce delay and after all that cutting height...

Hi,

If i am correct, u need to get the postprocessor at your cnc table suplier. I got mine included with the table.

Hello, I am having trouble with the g-code that is created by sheetcam. Sometimes the arc ignites on the rapid speed height, and than it goes down to the cutting height. I found out that this doesnt happen if i have cutting height at 3.0mm, but when i do 2.8, 3.2, 3.5, 4.0 etc it causes the problem....
