Re: Post problem? Feed slow after first cut

Your post has the z moves commented out, but still has a feedrate change (programmed incorrectly as text). The screen is made for the unedited post with a Z axis. Comment out the feedrate in the onpendown and it should stay at the normal feedrate instead of the probing feedrate (which I assume you h...

Re: Post problem? Feed slow after first cut

I'd say just comment out the feedrate line in onpendown. You don't need any other feedrates since you're not moving a Z axis. I'm guessing it's coming from the plunge rate setting in your tool. You didn't show your tool settings, so I can't verify.

Re: Post problem? Feed slow after first cut

Where is the 30 feedrate coming from? Plunge rate? For sure you need to fix the text feedrate line in the post and change it to modelnumber instead of text. Just copy one of the other lines and paste it over the text one. Edit: it says the post is for no Z so you shouldn't have a plunge speed. I'll ...

Re: Post problem? Feed slow after first cut

The if is there to prevent the code from being inserted if the move is too tiny to happen. It prevents moves from appearing that are 0 when chopped to 4 decimal places.

Re: Post problem? Feed slow after first cut

Not exactly sure, but I did notice that several places refer to federate as a number, but one place it is text. I would change the text line to match the number lines and give that a try. Otherwise, post a sample of your gcode and note where it works and where it doesn't.

Re: License

Download the license from where? I think it usually comes in an email after you purchase it on the website. Are you having trouble purchasing it or installing it?

Re: Masso tube plasma post

You can edit the post and replace Y with A. You must be only using a 3 axis rotary for round tube only. I was setting mine up for 4 axis.

Re: Masso tube plasma post

I've toyed around with the rotary post a bit, but haven't actually run any of the code yet. I do believe that SheetCam runs the rotary axis in linear units rather than degrees. It uses the center axis as z zero.
I think you also have to purchase the rotary plugin for any of the rotary stuff to work.

Re: plasma THC define custom tool parameter for THC set volts

Which section did you insert the define in? I believe it has to be in a certain place. Look at another post that has a custom parameter and see where it goes.

Re: Perforated sheet metal

That must be something that your controller uses. It's not a normal SheetCam setting. If you look through the gcode, it's probably being sent to the controller.

Re: Perforated sheet metal

Does the 45xp have a mode for cutting perforated sheet? My 65 has a setting on the dial that keeps the arc running even if it goes off of the metal momentarily.

Re: Error Code

There is a limit on the number of lines of gcode that the evaluation version will output. To fix this error you'll have to purchase SheetCam. If you are getting this error on a licensed copy, then it's possible that your license code is pirated. If this is the case, contact Les at SheetCam with your...

Re: Plasma peck drilling function issue

What post processor is the person who sent you the other image using? I think CandCNC is the one that has the peck pierce programmed into their post. You would probably have to add those functions to your post to get that to work.
