I know everyone will ask for specifics and code, which I don't have at the moment, but bringing a late 90s aquajet online right now. They all like to use their own friggin proprietary control. the program manual is VERY vague to say the least and just says "for arcs use, I, J, K".....uh, ok.
Program it just like everything else, and it will start in an arc as it should, then plunge in Z to some unknown value WITHOUT ANY Z axis code at all. Nothing. We have removed the K, put it back, ran a K0.0, you name it.
I am just curious at this point is someone had had a mysterious Z plunge in an arc and what the cause was? I can be certain if we take this code to any Fanuc, it will be just fine. Has to be something with max arc length before another segment or something odd.
We ran this several different ways and different code in single block. It will do it at a different time, depending on the code, but will ONLY do this on an arc. If we program just lines, no problems. This has nothing to do with the machine losing position or something, the control is doing this.
