Looking ahead with my plasma table build, I'm trying to find out how a floating z head works with mach3?
If I understand it correctly, there is a switch on the head slide that holds the torch, when the cycle is started, the head drops until the switch opens, then raises until it closes, then raises a preset amount more and zeroes the Z DRO. The cut then starts as normal.
Is that correct?
If so, where is the input fed into mach software and does it actually reset the Z DRO??
Any tips appreciated.
