Thanks Jim - all makes sense. My THC works very well with the powermax range and I've had excellent customer feedback but it's clearly not designed for the Industrial 100% duty cycle systems. That...

Hi Jim - since you last gave me info on which Hypertherm models have an inbuilt interface for THC all of my customers so far have been users of the ones we've already discussed (Powermax45/65/85,...
Thanks again Jim. I've updated my site.
Cheers

Thanks Jim - I've made your suggested changes. Also - is the part number for upgrading the 1000, 1250 and 1650 the same as for upgrading the 65 and 85 i.e. is it 228696?
Thanks
Ian
Sorry Jim - somehow got a double http:// in there. I've edited the link so can you try it now please.
Cheers
Ian
Jim - I wonder if you would mind taking a look at the THC page of my site and just check I've got the blerb about the various Hypertherm models correct.
Thanks
Ian
Jim - Thanks so much for your rapid and informative reply (as ever). Perfect.
Cheers

Sorry to resurrect my oldish thread but Jim (Colt) could you clarify a point from your post (quoted below) for me please?
I read it as saying that the Powermax45 and Powermax1650 have...
shame you didn't checkout exchange rates BEFORE you dissed it. It's hard enough making a living these days as it is.....(nuts)
Huh???? how do you figure that out?
if you use a powermax cutter this may be another option to those already mentioned.
I understand later versions support V-carving but has anyone done it with the above versions? Tips/techniques welcome.
I'd like to achieve something like the attached pic
Thanks
Have you looked for a backup of your settings in xmlbackups? Nothing's guaranteed but it's worth a look.
Thanks JAckal - excellent info.

There's been at various times a couple of discussions over on the Mach forum re: whether or not to have quick blow fuses between the PS and drives and whether or not to have a large capacitor between...
A little late perhaps but in Rhino there's the curve/curve edit tools/adjust closed curve seam menu option. Wherever you set that is where RC will start. I use it all the time as I find RC rarely...
Hi panto - just set up your axis in ports and pins as X,Y and A (rather than Z) and slave A to Y. Remember to set your steps/per the same for A and Y and untick "A as angular" in general config.
Probably grasping at straws here but it does say on the ncpod site that:
hmmmm - strange - I know NOTHING about the NCPod but after reading a few threads over on the Mach3 forum I'm not optimistic. Is Gerry's suggestion about using the prallel port with vanilla Mach not...

bit of an update: I got my DTHC finished and working and have had it out in a commercial shop who agreed to test it out for 3 months. I loaned them my PM45 and my DTHC and they (and me) are chuffed...
If I undertsnad you correctly the problem is that the brake is being applied even when the spindle wasn't actually on at certain times. The code below (untested) might give you an idea. It only fires...
can you post your modified code?
Can't help you with a brian - never had need of one - how about a simple mod to the m5 macro? don't know your system but assuming your brake is applied simply by a mach output pin then something...
Certainly does Jim
Thanks
Ian
Hi Jim - just to echo CPierce18 above: A thing I've yet to figure out is what is the voltage between the shield/nozzle/tip that your wire is attached to and the table/work when your CUTTING? i.e. is...
what screenset are you using?
OK Jim - thanks - I'll go and have a mess and see where I get.
Thanks Jim - I'll take away all you've said and see where I get. However - one question...
This might seem like a daft question - but - how do you know you're exactly at the correct cut height...
