I have a crossfire cnc plasma table, it has the z upgrade kit and limit controls i purchased along with it. Im running a Razorweld 45 with hand torch wired into my machine.
When i run Firecontrol and sheetcam tng and try and write a program it comes up with the " no program speed" error. After weeks of troubleshooting it myself and reading just about every forum post and how to. Ive made sure my machine software is updated as well as the firecontrol software. Ive put in IPM speed into the machine options on sheetcam and on my tool im selecting for my drawing. Ive made sure sheetcam and firecontrol are both in inches and not metric also.
Only thing ive noticed, that i dont know what to do about is that sheetcam is showing the post processor for a machine without powered Z axis, where mine is powered. Maybe thats my issue?
You need to select the firecontrol 1.6 post processor in sheetcam. If it’s not already on the drop down list in sheetcam, you have to download it from the Langmuir downloads page and copy and paste it into the POSTS folder with in the sheetcam folder on your hard drive.
This the post processor that you need to use. Let’s get that correct and then move on with any other troubleshooting you need.
Thats the exact post processor im using. Only thing i see different between your picture and my computer is that it doesnt give me an option to select Z zero and im missing the dropdown box for Encoding also.
I don’t know why your options are different. The most common reason for new users to get the “no program speed found” error, is failing to create a Jet Cutting Operation before post processing. Sheetcam will not warn you if you hit the post process button with no operation created. It will literally post prcoess a blank page and output a .tap file with only a few commands from the post processor.
I know you probably can’t post a .tap file yet, but you can open it with Notepad and copy and paste the code here. That will help to diagnose the issue.
did you choose jet/plasma under the machine type tab to the left?
I have it selected for jet/plasma and unselected rotary cutting as well. Ill post the g code in a second so you can see it

(PS0)
That last line (PS0) should have the cut speed. There was a post somewhere on here about it but i’m sure someone will chime in on how to fix it.
in your tool set, set the plunge rate to at least 75 and start with a pierce delay of .8 and after you cut a couple of things you can try .7-.6.
I see a speed of 72 on each cut loop, but it’s not registering with the post processor as a program speed. See the last line (PS0).
Do you have any “path rules” or did you get this toolset from someone else?
Can you post a picture of the tool settings screen and the jet cutting operation screen?
In post processor, check box (remember last) in output folder. You have always(use this folder checked), I think this is what giving you problem?
No that’s just where it will put the .tap file. He’s finding his tap file so that’s not the issue.
I see that you’re using the development version of sheet cam. Switch to the latest stable release and try it again. I assume you have a license as well?
I was trying to get it going with sheetcamTNG before i paid for a verison to use.
The toolset is one i made based off settings i looked up on the forum, there is no specific path rules on it
Delete and reinstall and try the latest stable version not the development version. Something appears wrong with your menu.
Regardless, as @brownfox states, use the stable version. Do NOT use a development version if you are just starting out. That is a recipe for failure!
If you don’t have a license, you are way over the 180 line evaluation limit.
Try doing a small square or other shape that doesn’t require so much code.
I wasn’t sure what that would affect, every day is a school day…
