General Mach Discussion / External hold?

« on: January 20, 2018, 11:24:26 AM »

Machine torch won’t fire. Checked and changed consumables. Hand torch works, got air, Mach 3 shows no faults, unless external hold” means something. Can’t find any broken or lose connections. Arclight 9600. Shut down last night and was  working OK.

General Mach Discussion / Torch fires when engraver should strart

« on: August 13, 2016, 11:09:18 AM »

I have been running Sheetcam and Mach3 for about three months but recently when sending gcode to mach the torch will touch off, rise and move to the upper right then fire. The code from sheetcam should be telling the machine to scribe. I can send only a engraving code to mach and it will still fire the torch but does not happen every time.
