I would presume that you have this all sorted by now.

In reality the level doesn't need calibrated because you always do a 180 check.
equal equal wins
like Gerry said an STL file is not really a solid. it is made from triangles, it is machinable but won't be smooth
the 92 will be a DC machine which is super easy for repairs, but it may a pathetic control, we have been fine with our -4 after upgrading to max memory (422kb) and a Calmotion..You would likely want...
I use the mitee grip tape that requires a heat gun to get it to come off
Mobile Vactra 2
One of the most common issues with imported (not Canadian compliant) machines is the E-stop circuit.
". These modifications are required at Schools and larger businesses. While I am sure they are...
The 1st 2 things I would check is the PC type power supply (the fan seizes and they burn out) and pull all the control boards (the slot connectors can get corrosion and not be contacting).
We have repaired by milling out a pocket, then machining a matching insert off of a new piece of rack then screwing in place
That there will run you $600
If there is something new for that price, you will hate it.
My table was 30 US and still required some minor engineering changes + 4k for the Hypertherm yet. A proper ventilation system will run you...
it could be the program.
Maybe your other controls have built in "short segment smoothing".
Thrust bearings are a common replacement part on the Y, especially if you have the cool power ballscrews (which I bypassed to avoid this)
I agree with JB for parts ordering. I prefer FADAL Parts...
I re-install will often fix issues with path errors as well
Thanks
We appreciate that you shared
It is almost a dead trade.
Most C of Q guys are button pushing monkeys or assemblers.
Most shops are only selling spindle time at cut-rate prices and only hire minimum wagers, this is the beauty of...
Last time that happened here it was because the oil got low in the air-over-oil reservoir.
It is a fussy system and needs to be bleed out of the cylinders carefully if they ever get air in them. If...
You will need your vector files to be in DXF format then you can use the Dynatorch software to convert it into Gcode.
Speeds, feeds and cut data should be available from the plasma manufacturer (my...
You could very easily edit the gcode to turn the profile moves into a sub-routine with the main body being the machine setup codes and your Z moves
Yes, DC uses resolvers.
AFAIK 95 was the transition year between ac/dc and both were available
If that is still a DC machine, may just be dirty brushes
Unless the battery on the mainboard is bad you will have not lose any stored data. CS is a repeatable procedure used for verification purposes.
I had the same stupid brain buster a bunch of years back when i decided to start using Z offsets as well
NCFadal was absolutely bullet proof.
Maybe the cable is too long for the power of your serial port on the PC
Chassis grounding of the net cable is also important
I always fed my '94 88HS (-4CPU)...
The control is too old and will not work with modern computers.
I had to give up on mine after Win XP was done.
Even if you do get the computer to transfer it will be flaky and glitch out. Your...
I bet it is your code, not the machine.
Convert your code to circles (G02-G03) instead of line movements (G1)
I am going to go with neither Rodney and suggest that what they want is a right angle milling head and compression/tension tapping tool
Too much heat.
Set up at the lowest amperage that will do the cut for best results
cut 1/4 MS at 45amp
The machine never gets up to speed at high amp and you are burning the crap out of it
Yes because you were piercing that thick plate and it blew back into the shield (likely just the shield will have clogged air holes)
I am sorry, if you are using the chart 1.4inch steel is...
Hypertherm will tell you that you don't cut 1.4 on 85 amp.
Not supposed to cut that until you get into 125 amp.
I cut 1.25 plate very nice with my 105amp unit but I always edge start (pre-drill...
