General Mach Discussion / Backup on Path for Plasma and Waterjet

« on: June 06, 2011, 03:59:49 PM »

I'm considering using Mach 3 for a CNC plasma and waterjet system but I don't know what "backup on path" capability Mach 3 has. This can be especially important in plasma and waterjet if the torch/cutting head crashes into the plate and you need to "re-cut" where the collision occurred. This functionality is standard on many plasma and waterjet CNC controls (Burny, Hypertherm, Flow, Omax, etc). So, does Mach 3 have backup on path capability? Are there any limitations?
