Typically, i can do the nema 17 or 23, tb6560 drivers and usb breakout board for mach3, I have it all coming anyway, but I simply want the h-bot style gantry to keep it loow profile and light.Įdited 2 time(s). Thanks, I am in a right pickle, need it light so I can carry it about and simply place it upon a sheet of steel over a large tray of water 'jacked up on bricks. oh yes to the continuous belt 4000mm as its divisible by the tooth pitch of 8 easily and I can clock the 24 toothen gears so the gantry is quite square.

Need something post processor, similar to sheetcam that can out-put h-bot non cartisian co-ordinates, or need a sheetcam for mach3 patch that alters the co-ordinates. Maybe simply not having the motors on the belt but driven with a spur - on each corner too, quad motor.īecause I want to cut steel / stainless letters, must use corel draw, export dxf or hpgl. Or have three like that on the y and simply one to tension. THC Log Analyzer - This software allows users to review cutting operations that were problematic or resulted in poor cut quality in order to better refine the THC settings for best results.įollow the Operations Checklist to ensure all configuration and set up steps are complete prior to starting cutting operations.$(KGrHqF,!ikE6JiFkc(7BOp+7V7kww~~60_58.JPG Understanding these anti-dive settings is essential to plasma cutting operations with THC enabled.

The "anti-dive" settings in Mach4 allow precise control over the exception cases which cause unwanted THC response. WyoGreen wrote: In Sheetcam under the file menu choose the item 'Save toolset as'. This will save the toolset in a file that you can export to the other computer, then open it in Sheetcam there. This unwanted response can result in the torch "Diving" to the workpiece. In Sheetcam under the file menu choose the item 'Save toolset as'. Mach4 Anti-Dive - Plasma cut quality is dramatically improved with the use of Torch Height Control, however there are scenarios which cause the torch height controller to respond improperly. Additionally, the exact response of the torch height controller to differences between actual and target tip voltage can be set in the TMC3in1 plugin controls within Mach4. Mach4 Torch Height Control - Ideally the target tip voltage will be set by the g-code generated with SheetCam, however the cut feedrate and target tip voltage can both be adjusted with override controls in Mach4 to "dial in" the cut quality at the machine. Geometry based settings to enable/disable Torch Height Control may also be exported as part of the g-code.

SheetCam Toolpathing - When configured properly, SheetCam can produce g-code which represents the cut profile, speed of cut, target arc voltage (cut height with Torch Height Control), and other parameters required to execute a successful cut. In order to ensure a quality and successful cut, plasma users must have a good understanding of the following topics: Ensure you have selected Plasma as your cutting tool in the Avid CNC Machine Configuration menu.Īdditional guides (not required for plasma system setup):
