I have been through all the setup steps in this forum and finally got some more time to spend trying to learn this system and I am having problems, I still havent cut a single piece on my machine.
Basically my problem is once I load the G-code and press start the torch moves into position, touches and then fires to pierce the material and then stops completly. It doesnt try to lift the torch or move, it just fires and then stops and stays in the same place. I have a piece of sheetmetal now with a ton of pierce points from trying different files and x/y locations, luckily it was scrap to begin with. No error codes or messages that I see and I have no idea where to go from here.
Using:
Hypertherm 1250 with DTHC card wired and hand torch
Z home tested good
MP3000-THC-HighRef post processor
MP3000-DTHC-UBOB2 Mach profile
Ground clamp directly connected to the workpiece/sheetmetal
Every once in a while when I load another code or reload the code it will say in Mach that the Fault error is "requested home axis home switch is active...please fix, then home." The z home is however not active/tripped (checked physically and in diagnostic screen) and I dont have any other home switches. This is after it moves into position and fires then stops.
