torchmate 4X4 jogging issue

[hsip]

the company i work for has a torch mate 4X4 growth series plasma torch and i am having issues getting it to rapid in between cuts or just rapid moves in the X axis in general ,if you move at any speed over 120 in/min it will throw an error that i have lost connection with the signal generator , is the gantry out of square and what is the best method to check that?

On the GS machines it has hard limits. So just by moving the gantry to the farthest ends against the stopss will square the gantry. This is assuming your table itself is square... but of course it is right???
So the disconnect is because of the information passing between the sig gen and the computer. I would swap out the USB cable and plug into a different port. Verify in the Driver Software go to CONFIGURATION/SYSTEM/CONTROLLER has EXPRESS MODE checked. Also CONFIGURATION/SYSTEM/COMMUNICATIONS that HI-SPEED is used and not FULL SPEED. If those are different then after the adjustment go to FILE/SAVE SETUP.

Make sure it is in HI-SPEED. if you still have issues then I recommend calling into support and having one of the techs go through a few other things.

sorry about that i ment to say hi speed ,no luck with the cables ,i disconnected the gantry from the stepper motor in the x axis and it slides free from end to end but it only hits the hard stops evenly on one end of the table ,the other end is off approximately 1/4 .and i also need to adjust the side to side position of the gantry ,it's loose on one side and snug on the other
