Hi everyone,
I would like to use G68 G-Code for a precise alignment of the materials to the X/Y axises on my plasma table Along with G68, I also need to use 28.1 g-code which is required for IHS (Initial Height Sensing) routine in MP3000 post-processor.
The problem is that Mach3 tries to send X/Y axises to search for home switches right after the "G28.1 Z10" code is read by Mach3. This only happens while in G68 mode ("Local System Rotated" in MDI page has a value other than "0" zero) Other times G28.1 Z10 code does not cause this type of behavior and does not move X/Y axises. Is this a bug? Or is it something that I am doing wrong?
Rotating coordinates with G68 is an essential feature for me as a Mach3 Plasma user. I deal with very large and heavy materials, some weighing more than a ton, and aligning them to the table's X/Y axises or going back and forth to Sheetcam to align the parts to the skewed material is really a big hassle.
I would appreciate your help. Thanks in advance...
