Z Diving & Slow torch Off Runs
Posted: Thu Jan 03, 2019 11:09 pm
Hello and Happy New Year.
I recently replaced my former plasma machine with a HT PM 65. I just got is up and running on my table. The following are the components.
HyperTherm PM65
4'x4' home built table
Command CNC Bladerunner
DTHC
No Ohmic
I drew a test file with some small various shapes and I am using fine cut consumables on 11 Ga
Couple of issues. The torch moves to the first pierce location, does a touch off, torch ignites and then moves down, but instead of stopping at the set point of .060 it continues and crashes into the metal and the torch dismounts from the holder. It was working earlier today and I was making changes to the preset amps and ipm in order to improve the dross, but now this.
Attached are two things, the code and a video link showing the moves with the torch off. Wondering why it is moving through the file so sloooooly.

Any thoughts or suggestions are much appreciated.
Thank you,
Steve
