Looking to use the rule feature to turn THC on and off for finer details. There is a setting in the controller to turn it off for radiuses but not for small parts so I am assuming that is only.circles. I have rules set up for speeds but not sure where to start in putting in a rule on this as there does not seem to be an option in the post processor for STV Optimum. Is there a way to manually add it? It appears from the research that the Gcode may be different for different brands.
this video describes sheetcam path rules rather well.
Some other sheetcam tutorial and video info here-
thanks, I have rules set up for speeds so I am familiar with that part, The is is helpful as I now know that its just an code that needs to be entered but I don’t know what the code is for turning THC on and Off for my machine. Not sure what to put in for the code snippet and STV is not super Sheetcam friendly. They really want folks to use their post but Shee can offer much more granularity Here is what I have from documentation but not sure what is what.
" In some cases switching THC ON/OFF can be made from special M-codes like M14, M15, M50, M51."
okay, I think I have it looks like M14 turns it off and m15 turns it back on. thanks for the assistance, just added the code snippet and the rule and did a test cut and it seemed to work. thank you all.
