General Mach Discussion / Calibration CONSTANTLY Changing
« on: September 29, 2017, 05:45:36 PM »
Here's our plasma steel cutting setup...

Autodesk Autocad 2018 (Design, save as DXF file) -> Airsoft Lazycam (Load DXF, add leading, get gcode) -> Mach3 (Auto calibrate motors, set home, zero and table size, load gcode, start cut)

Here's our problem...

Units are quite literally hit or miss. I'll set a rectangular cut that's 12" long and 6" deep and it will cut perfectly. Then, I'll load a washer with a 4" diameter and it'll cut it at 2.5". I'll re-calibrate everything and load the same code for the washer, and then it'll cut a 6" oval. I'll re-calibrate again, test with the rectangle and it'll cut 6" x 2.5"...

If someone could tell us what we're missing/doing wrong/not looking at, we'd greatly appreciate it as we're about to sell the whole setup!

If you're curious -->>  HP laptop well equipped, geko g540, shielded wiring, only utilizing x and y cuts (nothing fancy), rail system with rollers (no belts).

Nevermind. We discovered that while our coords were zero'd and even though both X and Y axis knew where home was, our machine coords were not zero'd. Once we adjusted that in the settings tab, all was resolved. Thanks!

General Mach Discussion / Table Display incorrect

Please see the pic for our issue. The table size is correct, the home is correct, but when we pull up g-code (as you can see in the pic) it always shows our table a huge distance away from zero. Please tell me how to resolve this as we can't seem to find anything in the manual or online. ???
