SheetCAM Mach3 Plasma Cutter G-Code Issue.

Post by sreza26 »

Dear Valued Member's, I am New in SheetCAM and this forum. Can you please help me to resolve my problem.

I'm having an Issue with my Newly Started CNC Plasma Cutter Machine projects. I have Installed SheetCAM TNG 6.0.28 for My Mach3 Non THC Plasma Cutting machine. I imported DXF file which is OK. The DXF works fine on LazyCAM.

But its generating Incomplete G-Code On SheetCAM.

N0010 (Filename: Reza-Faruk_01_03-23_1.tap)
N0020 (Post processor: Mach3 plasma.scpost)
N0030 (Date: 01/03/2023)
N0040 G21 (Units: Metric)
N0050 G53 G90 G91.1 G40
N0060 F1
N0070 S500
N0080 (Part: Reza-Faruk)
N0090 M05 M30


When i try to simulate the Job it finished with Error...

Do you have a feed rate in the tool that you are using, Your sample G-code shows a F of 1 and no axis for the move command.
In Mach 3 under the MDI page in the input box type G1 X 3 f 50 enter key that should move the X 3 inches/mm (your choice of measurement) at about a fair speed.

Check the feed rates in your cut operations. Additionally check the feed rate and plunge rate in your tool definition.

Tnx for Replaying,

I am using a Offline Mach3 Software for simulation and "G1 X 3 f 50" Command working Fine under MDI. I just want to Generated a G-Code from SheetCAM and Run it on a live machine. G-Code Generated on LazyCAM Just working Fine on Machine for me.

My Tools configuration is as bellow..

Is your SheetCam licensed? I think I've seen this come up before and it was a licensing issue. I'd either post this on the SheetCam forum or email Les at SheetCam.
