Plasma Torch Speed Issue

I hope this is an easy fix, but I’m stumped.

I have a Koike Aronson Plasma table and a Hypertherm controller. When parts are cut from the Library of parts on the controller, it has zero issues. When parts are programmed via Sheetcam, we have random problems, and many times it cuts great from 1/16" to 2". But I’ve run into random speed changes that ruin parts. Many times it will slow down to about half speed like it’s in a corner, but it’s not in a corner. Other times it will exceed specified cut speed by a considerable amount and not burn through the plate. After trying to find a cause and solution, we are looking at the SheetCam software and a setting or code that needs changed. What is stumping me is that I can run some parts that are 1/8" and have no issues, then run more 1/8" parts with exactly the same settings and it runs slow and has too much kerf and lots of slag, turns a corner and is running 150% and not going through the plate. Any thoughts?

Hi just wondering if you found a solution to this as I have exactly the same issue

Is this on the same type of machine?

Hi no it’s not but I’m having the same issue I am running sheetcam and mach3

This sounds like a different problem. Could you describe exactly what happens.
