General Mach Discussion / Re: axis are stopping during cutting process?

« on: May 15, 2012, 09:35:02 AM »

Simply G52X*Y*  where * are the values you wish to offset the axis. G52 X0Y0 will set them back.

Hood

I have now updated Mach. How can I use M110/M10 commands to deactivate output 2 (THC off) instead of M15, to prevent axis stopping during the process?

Thank you in advance!

It was easier than I expected - works fine, thanks a lot!

It may be possible for you to instead utilise the M110/M10 commands instead.  It may not be working in the present download but should be soon in the development version.

Thanks! This would be another topic but I would need some with XY offsets again. I have used G54 and G55 for torch and Scribe. Now Homing swiches are installed and therefore this offseting is not working anymore. What would be the procedure for setting offset parameters for G52?

If the pause is only during the line with the macro then it is because Mach is reading the macro and acting on it so there will be a momentary pause, not much you can do about that.
You could try putting it on the same line as code but whether that would help I dont know, likely not.

I will try, thanks a lot!

What do you use OutPut2 for?
Hood

It swiches off automatic arc height control before leadout or in case it is better to cut in manual THC mode.

Then why do you have M15 in your code?
Hood

Whoops! M15 macro is: "Deactivatesignal(output2)"

What is in the M15 macro?

Hood

I have no macro for M15

Why my plasmatable axis are stopping for a moment during the cutting process when M15 (THC off) is read from G-code? If M15 is erased from G-code, cutting is continuous.

Why my plasmatable axis are stopping briefly during the cutting process when M15 (THC off) is read from G-code? When I erase M15 from G-code, cutting is continuous.

If you fit home switches then G52 like Terry mentioned may be your easiest option.
Hood

OK, but is the procedure for setting up offset coordinates for G52 similar to G54/G55?
