Hello guys,

I'm Martin a 29 years old Mechanical Engineer from Austria.
In the last weeks I built my first CNC machine - a plasma table.
It runs steppers via a parrallel port breakout board.

I hope somebody can help me with my problem.
At the moment everything works with this config:
INI:
Warning: Spoiler!


HAL:
Warning: Spoiler!


But i found a nice project on the internet: Thallias LinuxCNC Plasma with THC and the Files on GitLab
This guy built a nice config for his plasma table with torch height control.
I tried to make it work with my machine but the y-axis is way slower than x and z which are running great.

I looked at all the files for hours now and i can't find anything wrong.
INI:
Warning: Spoiler!


HAL
Warning: Spoiler!



Maybe someone here who is more experienced than me can help me or give me a hint where to look for the problem.
I appreciate any help!
Thank you so much!

Cheers, Martin

Hallo Martin,
we would need a lot more info about the hardware you are using, especially the THC if using one.
MFG,
Tom

Hello Tommy!

I just ordered an unit from poscope LINK
I hope it will arrive within this week.

But at the moment my biggest problem is the movement of the Y-Axis.
X and Z move great but the Y-Axis is extremely slow. It hardly moves.

Thank you for your fast reply!

What drives and motors ?
Do drives have microstepping? How is it set up?
Could it be that you have different settings for X and Z to that of Y ?

In the second ini file you have:
AX_VELOCITY = 150.0
instead of
MAX_VELOCITY = 150.0

Cheers, Phill.
