Torch firing wrong

Post by kcarpenter12 »

When I cycle start my program it cuts the plasma on and cuts the traverse line and wen it gets to the actual part to cut it stops cutting and runs the program. I can manually start it but when it gets to the end of code the torch keeps burning even when I try to manually stop. I have the click reset twice and then the torch on off to stop it. Can anybody tell me what u have goin on? Thanks

I tried to help you out on your last thread but you didn't come back to it, so all I can say this time is good luck.

Sounds like your Cam's post is incorrectly starting the torch . Check your Gcode program for the proper placement of the M3/M5 codes in the program.
