SMC4-4 with plasma cnc...problem with MP1000
Posted: Tue May 25, 2021 10:50 am
Hello everyone.
First post.
I build a plasma cnc table. Table is moving, torch can be turned on and off. Proma thc sd installed. I want to use a SMC4-4 stand alone cnc controller. Which is working fine so far.
I evaluated sheetcam and due to several other posts in this forum I tried the MP1000 post processor. The post writes a G28.1 command which should home the z axis. But there is my problem...my z axis is pointing upwards for the plus direction. This is correct afaik but this also means that the touch off Switch on the floating head isnΛt triggered.
Is there a solution for this possible? The controller does not seem to understand G31. Nothing happens when issuing that command.
Any help?? Thanks in advance!
