Since Fusion 360 update a few weeks ago, I cannot get my setup to run anything. If i load a previous file into Fire control, the machine works correctly. Fusion 360 added a bunch of new features and it seems to have made it more complicated.
THC - Torch comes down, touches, moves up, fires and starts to cut and the torch turns off and the program continues to run. Sometimes ill get the voltage sense error and asks if i want to retry the cut.
Im using a Miller 875 with an XT60M machine torch for the last year or more with no issues until Fusion 360 updated.
Also, sometimes the THC control will drive the head into the part and on the screen it says down as it starts to drag the plate.
Lots of issues im trying to resolve since the update to Fusion 360.
Is anyone else having these issues? Is it possible for Langmuir to update the instructional videos on the correct way to set up Fusion now with the new options and settings?
Thanks
Post your F3D and maybe we can isolate the problem.
Yes between Windows updates and fusion updates there has been some issues over the last few months.
It seems like it only affects certain computers with certain versions of Windows 10 and certain gpus and CPUs.
I have one slightly older machine I run Windows 10 on and fusion 360 and I have a brand new machine with Windows 11 and f360 but no problems to report

here is an example of it trying to cut a circle with multiple attempts to retry the cut. Starts the leadin the quits firing.
says i cannot upload attachments as im a new user…
Comment on other few posts and it’ll unlock that feature for you.

It could just boil down to one incorrect setting in the new code can you copy and paste the first 50 lines from the Gcode you’re running as text and paste and posted here

is there a set water level that’s supposed to be in the table? could to much water cause the voltage or arc to loose its sense?
The latest issue i just tried right now - Cut 2 holes that look like shit and started the line and arc voltage lost then those errors came up. (3/8 plate. 40ipm, .0625 cut height, .1 pierce height.
Nothing jumps out at me in the code.
What’s the current condition of your consumables?
new- i already tried that… lol
What is the thickness of the material you’re cutting?
And you have your work (ground) clamp directly on the material?
Is your air pressure keeping up?
Can you run a straight line cutting operation through fire control successfully?
Doing that would rule out whether it’s from Fusion 360 or not.

Have you investigated this possibility?
ha … another weird thing that’s
happening right now. sitting here not cutting just in “idle” this comes up on the screen:
no i can not. it runs about 1 inch and cuts off.
have you ever figured this issue out? we are having the same problem with “arc voltage not detected”
running miller 875 autoline
