Post processor - pierce height before touch off
Posted: Wed Jan 10, 2018 1:36 am
Hi Les,
I tried to work out what code in the post processor was doing this but couldn't figure it out.
I'm getting a command to put the Z at pierce height immediately after the torch has done a rapid at Safe Z to the pierce position. After that it then does the touch off stuff.
The problem is on line N0120 (I've commented it out).
Post processor, sample job file, and generated gcode file attached.
NOTE - although the the post processor name says "modified", that's only for my settings (switch offset, etc). The original MP1000-THC post processor still gives the same problem.
Cheers,
Keith
