General Mach Discussion / Re: G68 and feedhold problem
« on: February 13, 2008, 03:22:43 PM »
I use this code with flame cutting. When putting a large plate on the table (2000kg or more) I have to roatate the XY plane to match the position (the angle of rotation)of the plate relative to the cutting machine axis.
The M4 is a custom macro that turns on preheat valves than uses G4 to wait for pierce. M1 is used to be able to manually pierce when G4 is not used. M1 cannot be used inside of another macro, this is why is used separatly.
I think you are right with M0 and M30 being redundant.
The question is: can the XY plane rotation(G68) be used and be able to feedhold or even run reverse in Mach3 ?
It would be a great help for flame cutting(or plasma cutting).
