All jobs have tabs leftover. I use a LEAD 1515 with an powermax 45XP. I have dialed the 45XP recommended settings. (pierce height, cut height, speed, Amps...) Below there is an example of my code, when I run this, tabs are left over. Not sure what I am doing wrong. My guts tell me it's between pierce height position and the X/Y move. Maybe I should give more pierce delay and slow the move from pierce height to cut height. (here it's F700) Any incentives ? ; GCODE Generated by cam.openbuilds.com on 2021-04-27 G21 ; mm-mode G54; Work Coordinates G21; mm-mode G90; Absolute Positioning ; Operation 0: Plasma: Vector (path inside) ; Plasma Kerf: 1.4 G0 Z10; move to z-safe height G0 F1000 X27.4440 Y43.6039 G38.2 Z-30 F100; Probe G10 L20 Z0; Set Z Zero G0 Z5.4; Move to Pierce Height M3S1000; Tool On G4 P0.1; Pierce Delay G1 F700 Z3.1000 G1 F3000 X20.7521 Y43.6039 Z2.5000 S1000 G1 F3000 X20.7521 Y40.5836 Z2.5000 S1000 G1 F3000 X27.4440 Y40.5836 Z2.5000 S1000 G1 F3000 X27.4440 Y43.6039 Z2.5000 S1000 M5; Tool Off G0 Z10; move to z-safe height G0 X82.9463 Y44.1029 G38.2 Z-30 F100; Probe G10 L20 Z0; Set Z Zero
Thanks Peter. What I meant is that there were some bits of metal that weren't cut off the part. And my intuition was correct. When dialing the Hypertherm Pierce delay of 0.2 s , I had tabs leftover which means the piece wasn't entirely cut. Now, I have doubled the recommended amount and now it cuts around my piece without any problems. Si if one experience tabs it maybe the pierce delay that is too short. Nothing less nothing more. Thanks.
