Hello everyone, this is my first post on CNC Zone. I'm happy to see there is a resource such as this on the internet!
Bare with me as I am new to G-Code programming, but I have recently tried to connect my company's plasma table (a TITAN by MG Industries with a Hypertherm Navigator controller from about 10 years ago) to a new computer which runs our new Hydrajet water cutting system. The old plasma table keeps giving me error messages every time I try to download a CNC script created with the software I am now using with the Waterjet system (IGEMS for those familiar with it). The code produced by the old software we used previously (SDS 5.6) works fine on the plasma table, and I have compared print-outs of the code produced by the SDS software and that produced by the IGEMS software and I've noticed some differences in the way they write their code.
Are these slight differences the reason the old machine wont download the programs properly? Is there anything I can do to enable the old machine to read the script from the new software, or to make the software write the code in the same manner as the old software did?
Please keep in mind I know next to nothing about CNC programming - I'm taking it upon myself to teach myself how it works and needless to say its a bit of a rocky road!
