update: ver 31.0
- 31.0 clarified rotary logic testing in OnInit(); simplified prologue comments
Usage notes made simple-
Import this post processor via menu Options-Machine-‘Post Processor’, click ‘Import post’ button, navigate to downloaded pp, click Open, click OK.
Now go back to menu Options-Machine-‘Post Processor’, see the new button as noted in the screen shot.
Most just likely need to adjust the top 3 options to match your machine.
If you have a floating torch mount, and if it’s setup with an ohmic probe sensor, then set the Torch Probe TouchOff float distance = 0.05mm or 0.002 in. depending on your sheetcam units as the initial setting, adjust as needed to dial it in.
If you have a probe micro switch on your floating torch mount, then run these commands to determine your floating distance for this pp-
- zero Z (torch tip) on material surface, ensure material does not flex
- G38.2 Z-14.600 F1000 (probe to find sw by closing it)
- G38.5 Z2.000 (reverse probe to open switch)
- G92 Z0 (set temp Z zero)
- jog Z up until the torch tip just clears the material by 0.05mm or 0.002 in. or whatever accuracy you like.
- read your controller Z position and that is your float distance for this post processor. Put that value into the Custom Post Processor Option as shown in the screenshot above.
