Hello, sorry for the delay
ok, i agree. The problem is with BobCAD.
Can anyone recommend any CAM for plasma cutting? Preferably free

Thanks !!

I think we have not understood properly.
The following is the g-code generated using BobCAD using the PP "Mach_3_Plasma_Metric_Rev1.MillPst".

does not appear M3/4/7/8 ... only M05
I need the PP set M03 to begin work and M05 to finalize.
Got that?

I tried all PP for Mach3.

Thanks

Thanks BR549.
I have not problem with M3/4/7/8 .... my problem always was M5.

The Manual say M5 is to spindle off. nothing abaut setup M5 to active/deactive a relay.

Thanks anyway.

thanks mr BR549.

but Really ? Please I need real help.
I mean nobody has similar problems?

If this is true then nobody can use bobcad with Mach3.
All i need is some way to turn on/off a reley when gcode set M05. There is NO way to do that?

thank's
Diego

Hello, I am Diego, this is my firt post.

I am testing BobCAD with Mach3 plasma profile on a oxygen torch cutting table. I installed postprocessor "Mach_3_Plasma_Metric_Rev1.MillPst" from BobCAD web site. BobCAD is v24 and setting as plasma machine.

My output 1 is a reley for oxygen electrovalve. Works ok, i test writeing M03 and M05.

The problem is the gcode. when it should turn ON or OFF the reley the gcode set M05 ... always.
What i am doig wrong ? how can i set mach3 for turn ON and OFF the reley ?

Other problem. With postprocessor "Mach_3_Plasma_Metric_Rev1.MillPst" gcode has not FEEDRATE parameters ... no matter what feedrate set for plasma. But it works well with the "Mach_3_Mill_No_ATC_Metric_Rev2.MillPst"

I need help please!
Thanks.

Diego
