Hello Friends,
I am up and running but had a couple questions that I hope can be answered by some of those with more experience.
First, is there a way to have the cutting start where I manually set my torch? Instead of starting at x,y 0?
Is there a way to permanently set table size limits or table boundaries ? Currently the axis will run into the rails if I forget to return to 0.
Is there a way to have the table auto return to 0 after cutting?
Thanks in advance friends!
In the new version of firecontrol you can choose the program origin. That had made a big difference for me, but the table doesn’t “know” where the torch is until you tell it where 0 is.
From what I understand, there is no “home” feature on the table. I’ve seen people add limit switches to the table, and create a home position, but I think they were using Mach 3 and not fire control.
You could probably have the torch return to 0 after a cut by adding something into the code or the post processor to make it do it after every cut but I’m not sure.
