Wiggle pierce help.

Post by SeanP »

After reading another post dealing with wiggle pierce, I thought it was about time I took another look.

I'm using candcnc 11J post with switch touch off, if I use no wiggle it's fine.

When I use wiggle as screenshot below it touches off raises to pierce height, then down to cut height briefly turns off torch,,,then lifts back up to rapid clearance height and then proceeds to start wiggle pierce and carries on as normal from there on.

Can anyone see what I am doing wrong, it looks a great feature that would benefit me as I cut sheets n sheets of 12mm with a 45a ! :roll:

Thankyou

Tried all sorts of combinations, no cut rules, many different posts & setting with no luck then thought I will try the standard TNG and that works just as it should do, not tried cutting yet only a dry run but it looks ideal.

I think there could be something in the development version that's causing this as I used same post & same job file, I will attach job file and tap, maybe you could take a look Les, thanks.

Well cut a full sheet of 12mm the other day, seemed to go a bit easier on the nozzle, definitely pierces easier as I had to bring pierce time down from 1.5secs to 1 sec.
Think 1mm wiggle worked best for me on holes.
