Torchmate Plasma Post - Missing Z and Torch Control

After a hiatus I fired up my BobCAD V30 and Torchmate 4X4 Growth Series with Accumotive 2 controller. After loading my program the torch followed the path fine but didn’t move in the Z axis or fire the torch. Looking at the G code it appears the M64/M65 codes are missing that should move the torch in Z. I’ve previously used the same post processor and it worked fine. I re-did the CAD several times and went through the entire process with the same results. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Ken,

This is Mohammad from the posting department. You said that the post-processor was working fine before. Were you using the post-processor in V30 or older version s of BobCAD previously?

Hi Mohammad,

I’ve upgraded from V28 a while back. Post as shown in picture is BC_3x_Plasma, Torchmate_PlasmaBCPst

BTW, when I originally purchased BobCAM the salesman said no problem getting a post for my EZ Trak plus on my Bridgeport, but have not been able to get one. Can I give you a call to discuss?

Thanks

Sure. Call (727) 489-0003 and ask for Mohammad.
