General Mach Discussion / Plasma Anti-dive function. Seems not to work

« on: August 29, 2013, 05:51:22 PM »

Hello,

Recently read a post about the Mach3 Anti-dive function. http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,16169.0.html

But it seems not to work just like BR549 said. Even programming it to 100% of the actual feedrate, the machine still move the Z axis up and down during the cut by the THC.

Someone with experiencie with this command?

Added it to my Plasma Screen, seems to be a nice feature to have if it works. Attached the screen for convenience.

Thank you,

Screen designer tips and tutorials / Plasma machine simulation - M3 inhibit

« on: March 02, 2013, 07:40:51 AM »

Hello,

I have a plasma machine, working fine, with a digital THC developed by me.

But sometimes I would like to simulate the machine path, without the plasma torch to fire.

Today the only way I can do it is turning the plasma power off, THC Off and then I can run the program to see if fits inside the material, or if anything else will work fine before the cut.

Is there a method to inhibit the M3 command, and then simulate the path with machine movement?

At this forum there is a great tool (mach3toolbox plasma check if material fits) for checking if material fits, but I would like to run the complete program without plasma torch to firer.

Thank you for any help.
