LAzycam and THC300
« on: September 08, 2006, 12:58:55 PM »
Hello all,
I have been talking with Bob Campbell, My main concern of the THC300 he sells is that if it needed to touch off the material every time it needed to make a peirce, it would be very time consuming. He told be that with Sheetcam you can post the gcode, so that it only touches off the material every  time it needs to peirce as long is away from the last time you peirced a set distance you tell it to.
So if you set that distance to say, 12 inches, then if there are 17 peirces within that 12 inches, then it only needs to touch off once. instead of every time.
Can Lazycam do that?
Best Regards
Fernando

So basically the only advantage sheetcam has over Lazycam is the kerf width compensation?
Great work brian

Hi, Fernando

There are several ways to handle your curf., generate it in your DXF. make a cut layer with offset line or use the inside outside leadins in

LazyCam to generate the G41 G42 and assign tool # then assign tool # with offset dia. in Mach tool table.

Hope this Helps, Chip
