General Mach Discussion / After I hit RUN...

« on: October 03, 2010, 11:19:37 PM »

Hello,
After I hit "RUN" my plasma cnc table goes to my Lead In starting point from my 0,0 point. This works great, but I would like my gantry to move at a slower rate to get to this point. Is it possible to have  this feedrate slower than the feedrate for the cutting? Is it possible to set this to a percentage of the actual feedrate? If so, please let me know where to set this.
Thanks,
Eric

General Mach Discussion / Cut Profiles Setup

« on: August 26, 2010, 01:48:42 AM »

Hello

I am hoping someone can help me setup or just get in the ballpark with my cut profiles. This profile is for cutting 3/8" steel, I have a Hypertherm Powermax 45 w/ Machine torch & Z floating axis.

I can fill out a few of the options:

Tip Volt Preset 120
THC Delay 1     Is 1 sec too slow or not slow enough?
Tip Saver %       *What is a good starting point?
Arc OK Current    *What is a good starting point?
Cut Current 45
Span Gap 4
Upper Fault Limit   *What is a good starting point?
Lower Fault Limit   *What is a good starting point?
Current Tolerance %  *What is a good starting point?

Any and all info is greatly appreciated.
