SHEETCAM VERY SLOW CODE
Is it just another limit switch? Or does it need a seperate input signal? Post the code because chances are it uses G31 and the Probe input.? It could also need a Macro.? Edit: To be honest this could easily be done just by modifieing the M3 Spindle on macro to use G31 command and the probe input.
SHEETCAM VERY SLOW FULL VERSION
This value controls when it references.View Full Version : Plasma floating head Looking at adding a floating head to my new build, I've found some code that goes in sheetcam to be run before a cut, this lifts the head, drops it and zeros the DRO etc, what I can't find is where the signal from the floating head micro switch is fed into the mach3 system? If you have a bunch of cuts close togather the post won't bother to re-reference for each cut. Near the start of the file you will see a bunch of parameters. The floating head only bloody works! Select the post then click on the 'edit post button'. Thanks very much for your help with this matter. Re: Floating head auto-zero set-up confusion. If I were to edit this file, where in hecks name do I insert the few lines of code? If I should use the "run a code snippet" thing in Sheetcam then how do I get it to run in the right place? Thanks for your time. Am I using the correct post processor for a machine with a floating head? That is where the trouble starts! I am out of my depth here and could do with a few pointers in the right direction. I looked up the post processor that I'm using Mach3 Plasma and opened it with windows notebook. I copied the code that I found on this forum N G The problem The code seems to run right at the start of the cycle and not on the pierce as I require.
I have got my own head around the fact that I need to insert some lines of G-code into the program so that the head will wind down to the limit switch and reset the "Z", then wind back up a pre-set amount and then move to pierce height. I did some research into auto zeroing the Z axis and found several posts on the subject. So far so good, physically the head works and I can move it so it actuates the micro switch and illuminates the LED on the diagnostics page. I decided to start with ie, before I get THC I would build a floating head so that the machine will "auto-zero" before each time it pierces the material. Please, somebody, Having problems with or questions about SheetCam? Post them here. Floating head auto-zero google my maps tutorial confusion.
