Buying a Hypertherm probably reduces these costs significantly as they've already done it. They did mention the larger torch (which I think you and I both have) cut at about 10 volts below the smaller one on the 50 amp cutter.Īs somebody told me calibrating cut height and cut speeds requires an investment in time, materials and money. Data provided by Rtech in the UK pretty well agreed with my testing. I found the best height was 1.7mm and about 1900mm/min so the lower cut voltage and faster speed could explain the lower voltages you are seeing. not an external THC).įrom the testing I've done, I would question your cut chart settings.

Where it starts to vary is when the THC is enabled using Jim Colt's preferred method where the Z axi is controlled internally by the LinuxCNC software (eg. The blue line is the error between 85 volts and the actual volts.

If still possible you could always try and contact the screen designer, he should be able to answer all your questions on the buttons, but as Mach3 is so configurable for individuals and there machines it may be, like on mine there are buttons I will never use.īut probably later in the evening for me I will be able to respond further.įor what its worth, I have not seen any appreciable difference in this graph when cutting 8mm steel.

The delays such as pierce delays it could be adding its own delays into settings on spindle start up, to my working mind should not be used when you use sheetcam to program pierce delays as the two would work against each other.Īnyway give me a day or so to try and get some detailed response back to you. John I will be out at work today so can not spend the time this morning getting the information together, the screen you use is not the same as mine as I use a more standard display, what I would need to do is download the screen and then use the Machscreen.exe program to see how it has been configured and check that against the programming references to see the button definitions.
