I am new to Mach, so this may just be me messing things up. I have been using Mach with Sheetcam to run a CNC plasma table. I have successfully cut this part about 30 times.
It is a part with 2 holes and that is it. I am basically using the plasma to cut two holes then load a new part and start over. Once it finishes the part the DRO says .4991 as it parks and waits for the next " run" command. I load the next part hit run. Sometimes it cuts both holes, sometimes it cut the first then goes to the second hole does a touch off and raises the torch about 2" above the metal and fires in the air.
I don't know if I should be hitting "ref Z" before I run the next part? After it finishes the code. the Z DRO reads +0.8237 . If I zero the DRO then close Mach and restart my computer. Once it reboots and I reopen mach, the Z DRO reads +0.8237. Shouldn't this read 0.0000 ?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks, Travis
