Showstopper update:
We are slowly progressing and can operate sometimes, and other times we can not.
Homing issues are now fixed (in the end the homing proximity switches were showing 12.7 volts when not activated and 24v when activated and this was causing intermittant issues. Have since replaced them with a different brand they now show 0 when off and 24v when activated and the homing has been working perfectly).
Still having issues with ohmic sensing. Sometimes it works and sometimes I can't use it. When I first turn the machine on for the day the ohmic sensing can show as high as mid - high 23's and even go to 24v. But here is another problem that I am getting and I wonder if anyone else has experienced this one:
When ohmic probing isn't working normally I just turn it off and when it drives into the sheet the float switch will light up and then it will back off, pierce and cut.
This was working fine but now it isn't. It is driving into the plate the float switch light comes on and it will go until the breakaway is activated and it will give an error.
I unhooked the breakaway switches because I have a strange issue with them where sometimes the breakaway stays on after triggered. When testing with a multi meter it stays on (we are suspecting this is due to faulty proximity switches. New ones are on the way).
When the breakaway sensors are unhooked the torch drives into the plate, the float switch lights up but the motor just keeps driving into the plate and won't stop. So why does qtplasmac not know that it has hit the plate when it knows the float switch has been pushed. And how could this be an issue today when it was working yesterday?
Here is a video if it helps.
