Dynatorch Post

Post by Rokcrler »

Hello,
I'm running a Super-B with software version 7.0.0.242, and SheetCam vr 7.0.16
I'm using the Dynatorch post.
I just added the Dynascribe and got it working pretty good.
Currently, I'm setting up different layers and operations for scribe and cutting. When I bring it in to DT to cut, I have to manually lower the torch within 1/2" of the plate to be scribed (on the advice from Russell, I was told by another user that Leon mentioned the same), and then start cycle. All scribe operations start then cut operations.
There are times that I forget to lower the torch before start cycle and the scribe runs but since I forgot to lower the torch no scribing took place, but the cut operation completed.
Is there a way to setup the post to use ohmic sensing to touch off the plate then retract 1/2" to begin the scribe/cut operation?
In my post list I have the following:
  • Dynatorch
  • Dynatorch no feed
  • Dynatorch old
  • Dynatorch pierce starts
  • Dynatorch router
  • Dynatorch2
I'm a complete noob at gcode, but slowly learning

Thanks for your help.

As far as I can see Dynatorch does the ohmic sensing when it is told to pierce. I don't know of any way to trigger the ohmic sensing without running a pierce cycle.

Dynatorch changed the way their machines work a few times, hence the assortment of posts. Try the 'Dynatorch' post first. Of you have an older machine the 'Dynatorch old' post may be better.
