Proma MyPlasm WALK AROUND,AND CONTROL BOX.

[@cjtroutt8092]

Thank so much you for the tour answer alot of answere that not in the manual. Very nice build and more videos in the future and watch on the Powder coating oven was so cool. Very professional build to.

[@Dishtech48]

Yea... I just ordered a Commercial Carlin LP Conversion Burner for my Powder Coating oven.. Cant wait. Ill never have to replace it again... My LP salamander has worked awesome for last year.but its not heating right anymore. I pd close to $700 for new burner..but will heat my over in 3-4 mins again. Thanks

[@thethein11]

Wow your plasma build is fantastic I just binged watched all the videos! They are really helping me to take the plunge to build my own plasma CNC. I have been researching the precision plasma kit but after seeing your build I am leaning towards piecing all the components together myself. I will be emailing you for the contact on those linear rails because they look phenomenal. Thanks again for all the details in your videos.

[@Dishtech48]

Glad it helps ya. Wished now,I would have built my table at first, instead if the waste of time and money with my last 2 bought tables. Delusional Designs, and GoFabcnc. My build table works sweet and out built them all.

[@thethein11]

@@Dishtech48 Yeah I totally believe it. It's funny you mentioned delusional designs because years back I saw those tables and it got me interested in building one or buying one of there's I am glad I didn't hearing everything now.

[@Blou55]

So nice, you make me crazy... I'm in the process of making my own, the model from JD's garage, a copy of Langmuir crossfire. It's a expensive but i got for what i pay; the worst thing is the controller from Arduino. Lot and lot of inputs and i still not know where i'm going with it. I am seriously thinking of getting MyPlasm cnc control , that looks easy to install and program. Thanks for the video.

[@Dishtech48]

I have had 4 differnet Controllers and programs.. and by far. this Proma MyPlasm is the best, and simplest. and will cut a DXF. You will be happy with it and the THC works perfect.. It was $450 for Control board, software,and it comes with the THC...

[@Blou55]

Looks i'll make the move soon!

[@Dishtech48]

@Blou MichelB Yea, well keep me on your table..

[@Blou55]

Finally i ordered the controller yesterday night... can't wait for it.

[@mikebourret3624]

Thanks for a great video you mentioned you was going to adjust your steps for the X and Y I need to do that also and would like to see a video on how you adjust yours.

[@Dishtech48]

Ok will try and show a video on how. If I don't forget it. Lol

[@Dishtech48]

Did you get your adjusted yet. I may go out to shop and put together a short video on what I did. But I also have 3:1 motor drives. so will be different than yours.

@@Dishtech48 No I haven't messed with mine yet.

[@travislawson1185]

I am just in the process of setting up my home shop built 5x10 table withe the same controller as you. I have a few questions on wiring and setup of the homing sensors and or limit switches. I'd love to pick your brain when I get to that point. I should be there by the end of next month, I'm also working full time in my shop restoring vintage motorcycles but I really need this machine working sooner than later. Thank you for your videos explaining this controller.

Email me. [e-mail]. And send me your phone #.

[@mccluremetalworks4214]

I have basically the same setup,what would cause the torch to dive,while cutting, and hit the collision switch?the only drawback to myplasm, is the setting up the sizing options,on a file you want to cut,

[@Dishtech48]

Hey Danny. Email me, and I'll share my setting. And what I do to get it set up. It's doing what you tell it to do. [e-mail]

[@diyrooster8521]

Great video. Can you tell me what program you're running that's for free Thanks.

[@Dishtech48]

The Proma MyPlasm Controller comes with its own Program, or software. It is very simple and easy too use. Been 2 years now, and it's been Great. Used Dxf files.

I love your set up do you use Inkscape? I’d love to see your workflow from your cad to my plasm, just curious. I was trying to find stuff on my plasm CNC there’s not much as far as tutorial thanks!

[@Dishtech48]

Hey Tony, I'll try and get something set up for you in a Video, of a file , from start to finish. Give me bit. Been busy. Lol. Do you use Sheetcam ?

[@tonyjabroni8484]

Yes I have sheetcam, and I usually use Inkscape. I’ve been looking at tables for a while now and I think I’m going with STV,and from what I’ve seen they use myplasm CNC, so I figured I’d better get to know myplasm and I was curious about your workflow thanks you’ve been I big help with me choosing a platform,sorry it had to be at your expense (gofab)!!👎

Im sorry.. I missed this message some how.. I try too keep up.. But found several.. Did you still need the info.. I can go and find them.. but since its been a while. Im thinking you already found out...

@Dishtech48 no worries I have bought a different type. Thanks

[@Shueysstuff]

Now that you have had it for a little while now, how is it all running? Considering changing over to this system and wondering if you have had any/many bugs with MyPlasm setup?

[@Dishtech48]

I really Love this System ! It's been next to perfect for me. I cut all the time, 1/2" is as big as I've cut, and max on my Hypertherm 45 cutter..The cutter does not go through Comsumables. I've cut up too 5 sheets once on same... The Proma Myplasm just keeps on working Great.

[@Shueysstuff]

@@Dishtech48 Glad to hear and thanks for your reply. I'll get my table back out and set it up again. I had packed it away a few years ago after having issue after issue with it. IT ran flawlessly for years then I guess some of the hardware just got old. It use to be 3m x 1.5m table, but I cut in half as I don't do such large work anymore. I have a hypertherm PowerMax100 G3 Series that will do up to 3/4" and the axis use huge 45 series linear bearings. Overkill, but I could use it as a router to if so inclined!

[@Dishtech48]

@@Shueysstuff Yea. I'm not sure if the Proma MyPlasm will do wood Router. You might check that out first. Buy it is a really good system.

[@Shueysstuff]

@@Dishtech48 I'm totally ok if it doesn't do router operations, as long as it the plasma system with all the correct functions is glitch free (on the proviso I set the hardware up correctly - grounding etc), then I'm in. The upside to this arrangement is that the CNC board, THC and software originate from the one source, like the Acorn from Centroid... but with a user interface that is simplified and made practical for 2D operations. From a Router standpoint, I'm thinking it may be possible to import the G-Code from SheetCAM and have the MyPlasm just run the code... but that would be a bonus if it were possible.

[@Dishtech48]

@@Shueysstuff yes,I use Sheetcam ever day with thos system. But I think program, over rides some of sheetcam gcodes.

Hi again Could you tell me how accurate your table top is (x, y) after welding, and how did you manace to weld it without heat bending. In your table, rails are In side of table, so it's not so critical table bends. When you are installing rails, there you could set them straight and compensaid table bending, I am right? I like to have links In alibaba seller for the rails.

[@Dishtech48]

I used 6 foot pipe clamps to hold my table in place. I did have some bending. My table is little bowed in middle on each side. But I ran the rails straight. But my THC will make up what very little it is. It's hard not to get warped metal when welding. I'll have to get ya a link for Alibaba later. I'm in shop now. Thanks

[@trialnterror]

Can you hook up the y axis separately for auto squaring

[@Dishtech48]

Not sure on your question.if I understand. X is separate on board, soft limits keeps me from going pass my boundaries thst I set.

[@trialnterror]

@@Dishtech48 the gantry rides front to back on the y rails there’s a left y rail and a right y rail. Each rail has a stepper motor. Right now the way millright sent me the configuration is both y motors are slaved or tied together to one driver. I’d like to be able to control each motor independently and then in software you are able to auto square the table by homing each y motor to a known limit switch dimension. This tells the software where in 3D space the machine is accurately at. Now I know that masso does this. To be able to do this you need to be able to have 5 axis input. 1 for x 2 for y 1 for z and 1 for rotary axis.

[@Dishtech48]

@@trialnterror yes , Mine are separate. There is place on the Proma my plasma, for 4 motors.

@@carrgrienier7726 I would set it around 1.875 for a start.what ya do is.. see how far that gear travels in the rack at one revoluction.. and go from there..after that I would take a tape measure, set it on table and start at 0, and move machine manually say 10 inches and see how far off you are. and adjust from there..

[@carrgrienier7726]

@@Dishtech48 yes sir for some reason the measurement I had from linuxcnc and here were different but I just enter 1.7 and was almost close lol. But I ended up adjusting slowly and I think I got it. Just I could move the cnc by increments or continuously that way I can be accurate. Now the other learning curve would be the files and choosing the lead in and outs and choose where to start on the image.
