→Job Crashes
=== Job Crashes ===
=== Job Crashes ===
==== SmoothStepper Buffer Under run ====
'''Your work piece is trash, start again, home position lost'''
# Click through error
# Start your job again
Causes:
* Communication error between smooth stepper and PC
==== Touch off failure ====
'''Your work piece is not trash yet, but might be if you don't follow these steps'''
One of the following:
* Touch off get stuck with torch touching the plate
* Touch off fails to detect plate and rams into the plate
* Error probe ignored in status bar - If this is the case clean the shield nozzle, dross has gotten inside, do not move work piece
# Hit escape '''ONCE''', not e-stop, not reset, escape
# Double click in the g-code window to display line numbers eg: 20:N0100 G91.... rather than N0100 G91....
# Look for the current line, it should be highlighted and be: G31 Z -100
# Look up a few lines for the torch moving to safe height: G00 Z1.5
# In the operator console click in the line number box
# Type in the line number of the safe hight move and hit return
# Highlighted line should change to that line
# Hit "Set next line" button
# Hit cycle start
Causes:
* Dross has built up inside shield
* Work piece is flapping around like a flag in a breeze, put some weights on it
* Dross/corrosion on the plate cause a none conductive area where the torch touched off
* Torch cable has become too taught and caused the probe connection to come loose or the probe ring not to touch the torch shield
==== Torch fails to ignite ====
'''Your work piece is not trash yet, but might be if you don't follow these steps'''
Mach3 shows job stuck on M3 command.
# Hit F5 to re-ignite the torch (possibly twice)
# Job should continue once M3 detects arc transfer signal from the plasma cutter
Causes:
* Unknown at this time
==== Mach3 Crash ====
'''Your work piece is trash, start again'''
# Shutdown the control box
# Close Mach3
# Turn on control box
# Start Mach3
# Run your job again
Causes:
* Unknown at this time
