Another plasma component...

Same thing Phill,

But this time the corner lock button lights up.

Could someone post a working Gcode file of anything for PlasmaC and I will see if it is my post processor that is causing the problem.

Before you run it open HalShow and watch the pin spindle.0.at-speed

I think the HAL file you sent me should work as is...

Thanks Phill for your help, It was the file I processed in sheetcam that was the problem,

Hmm, its exciting to see another new plasmac machine operational but I think thats the fist time we've seen the plasmac spanner emerge from a cut sheet. Well done Stefan! What post processor were you using? DO you want to post about it on the sheetcam thread?

sheetcam postprozessor woudt be awaysome for use with plasmac ad all the benefits

I'm another convert to plasmac. I went from a 4yr parport cfg/customized Axis to 7i96/plasmac/Axis. I'd like to tip my hat to Phil. Thank you for the work, it is appreciated immensely.

My only outstanding irk is that my Z-axis is travel is very limited and with the safe height parameter I often get the nag message that safe height has been reduced. Is there a simple way of disabling the safe height and simply returning to G53 Z0 at end of cut?

Thanks for the report, I hope it is working for you.

I should put a lead in on that wrench if you guys are going to actually cut it...

I could make it so that if Safe Height is zero then it goes to Z maximum height, That shouldn't affect existing configs.

I took the cue, from thefabricator3, as the "hello world" of a plasmac cfg and just trying to start a trend! I wouldn't worry about it, lead ins are an end user problem.

For me, if safe height 0.0 = a G53 Z0 move that would be absolutely perfect.
