General Mach Discussion / inconsistent cuts
« on: December 11, 2006, 04:22:54 PM »
Hi there, 
I have been using the Mach 2 software for just about 7 months on a plasma table. I have been cutting the same pieces for since then, and just in the last month have noticed alot of problems. First curves came out flat, circles were not round, straight lines cut in funny and getting alot of jagged not very smooth cuts. I have cleaned, tuned motors, checked backlash, checked drivers, checked files and resent them, redone the installation of the software to double check things, I have callibrated and referenced the table. So here I am stuck on what to check next. What am I missing or doing wrong? What should I recheck?
If anyone can help it would be much appreciated, I've been down for a week now!
I have also noticed that I have to re-tighten the head of the torch all the time. Shouldn't it stay snug, I have put some locktight but still comes loose after awhile.
I was just starting to enjoy this machine and was getting the hang of it till now, I am out of idea
Hope to hear soon
