Greetings! We are a new user here and have a Torchmate 2x2 table that was extended to a 2x4 (I think that is the correct terminology?). It's got a 501b signal generator and I'm not sure what if any Accumove we are talking about, but if you tell me where to look then I can.
As to what is happening, we have been able to do several cuts of varying types using our setup over the past couple of months. Recently we have been having an issue where along certain portions of the table the movement of the cutter head will not move properly. This is both with the plasma off for a test run as well as on for a real run. For most of the run it works out fine, then when the cutter head gets to the certain spots the program will keep functioning as if everything is moving but the head doesn't move past that location for several seconds. Multiple runs will see the issue happen at the same approximate location on the table each time. There is no odd grinding/whirring/etc heard when this happens beyond the normal run noise we have been hearing.
Any help or next steps for us to check out would be greatly appreciated!
