Update causing problems
Posted: Tue Mar 23, 2021 7:44 am
Hi all,
Purchased and been using sheetcam for a month or so now, and its been doing everything we need at work and then some, but today there were two updates. The second of which has caused some issues. We have a self built cnc plasma that has been working perfectly with sheetcam up until now.
Firstly, the feedrate is only set once, for the first cut. So my post processsor which sets a higher feedrate for rapids and z hops overwrites this, and the cuts end up going way too fast. This worked fine before the update, it would use the proper feedrate during cutting. Secondly the tool off commands arent being triggered for the last cut like they were before the update.
I modified the grbl plasma post processor for this plasma. I tweaked the tool on and off commands but didnt touch the movement commands where the feedrate seems to be set.
