Title: What Sheetcam Post Processor for Mach3 Plasma with Floating Head and Proma THC
Post by: GKDSportsCars on April 01, 2013, 11:52:58 AM

Hi Guys,

I've just added a micro switch to a floating head and have that working on the Mach3 milling interface fine (I couldn't see how to manually test this within the MACH 3 Plasma screen). I have also added a Proma THC which seems to work with the MACH3 Plasma screen... but not very well. I am hoping that is down to not being able to set Z to 0 accurately without the floating head and hence why I fitted a floating head in the first place!
My question is what Sheetcam post processor should I use to enable Z to be set to 0 with the floating head between each pierce and then also enable the Proma THC? I'm very new to G code so if customisation of the post processor is required then any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Peter
