Title: pokeys57cnc plasma pauseing at end of cut before shutting off torch
Post by: MAACmetalcraft on April 23, 2021, 06:43:04 AM

I just upgraded my home made plasma table with torch hight control. Im now using a Pokeys57cnc board and the PlasmaSens THC. I have everything working great except for the hole it leaves at the end of a cut with no lead in/out. I've set every setting in mach3 to no delays. I've tried 7 different post processors in sheet cam and they all seem to stop the travel and then shut off torch. i need it to shut off as it stops of a bit before it stops. Thanks in advance.  Im very frustrated with this and am at the point of sending the pokeys57 board down the road and starting over with a warp9 3in1

If you are using M03/M05 that is how it works in Mach3. I think what you need to use is M10/M11 but you should verify that.

so what does a m11/m10 in mach3 do? i tried replacing the m3/m05 and it does not turn the torch on. im sure its a simple setting that im overlooking but nothing has worked so far

Sounds like a plan.
I have never actually used this so it will be great to get some feedback.
