Automatic torch volts populated into controller

Post by imrtoy »

Hello,

Is there any way to have sheetcam put in arc volts for THC automatically? Like how it does pierce delay and initial torch height? Any thoughts?

I suppose it depends on the post you are using. My tool table has the volts set in it, and the post uses that value for setting the volts in MACH3. I use a Hypertherm Powermax 45, and the tool table entries came with my controller (CandCNC controller). It shouldn't really matter too much on the plasma cutter, it should just be the post and tool table. The tool table is easily changed, so maybe you just need to edit your Sheetcam tool table.
