Question on sodik and Makino machines

plastikdreams · Aug 17, 2021

Is there a feature on sidick and Makino machines that would be equal to the power Master/adaptive control on mits machines?

If so what are they called?

If you aren't familiar with mits, power Master/adaptive control varies the voltage on/off and cutting speed to achieve the fastest most consistent cut without breaking wire.

plastidreams,

Makino does have an identical function to the Power Master called EZ-Cut that is located on the RUN screen of the machine. This function has been around for close to 20 years, and below is a video showing this function on the latest Makino Hyper-i control. The EZ-Cut function is setup as a slider-bar (much like a feedrate override on a mill) that allows you to change the active Rough Cut setting by Plus (+) or Minus (-) 25% by 5% increments. This function is also fully programmable and can be controlled using a special M74 command within your G-Code program.

Sodicks have one too called EPA (Easy Power Adjustment). Same deal, you can increase or decrease in 5% increments.

Sodick has a Adaptive Control in the cutting conditions header called MAO. The M controls how sensitive the machine monitors the burn. The A controls the off time. The A controls the on time.

As the above for the Sodicks, have said the EPA adjusts power, I was told it was 10% increments? And the A and O are on and off time multipliers for respectively bad and good conditions.

The machine automatically increases the A by a digit for every wire break in my machine. I normally turn this back down if the break was of a sporadic nature rather then of a difficult condition.
