Hey,
I hope someone will know this. Is there a program home on the Mach 3? After running the program I need to move the head out of the way so that I can put up a new part. If I hit refer all home it goes home but when I hit run it doesn’t go back to the part. Is there a way to do this without manually going back to my program starting point? On my water jet I just hit goto “program 0”
Thanks Jeff

Try the GOTOZ (gotoZero) button. It moves the X/Y first then lowers the Z to program Zero

ll I do is add a few lines of gcode to the end of the program.
gcode
gcode
gcode
M5
g00 z50
g00 x100
g00 y100
This sends the spindle to a safe position out of the way of my vice so I can load the next part without gashing myself on the cutter

or....
enter HOME locations where ever you like and use G28.
or....
Plop a Tool Change Position (TCP) button on screen with script to Go To at anytime with a button press.
Enter coords for the TCP button on the SETTINGS page.
I use Safe Z too..."0" Mach. coords.
