Then place a flat surface on the machine, probe it by running the code and each time watch what occurs, i use this on my plasma to set the switch offset after maintenance/repair etc, it just.

The setting about height of bottom of material above table, I've never understood why it's there for plasma cutting. So basically blast a hole at pierce height and get down to cut height ASAP and start cutting. After that is done the torch can travel down to cut height at warp speed for all I care, I can't see any need for it to travel slowly to cut height. My main interest is having enough pierce delay setting to make sure the pierce is completed while the torch is at pierce height. All this setting does is command the feedrate that the torch travels at from pierce height to cut height. Now all I do is set it to a pretty fast speed. It's entered in the OPTIONS menu / JOB OPTIONS / MATERIAL tab / RAPID CLEARENCE.Ī lot of beginners get confused about the PLUNGE RATE setting, I was too.

To prevent corner rounding, the corners can be looped.įor anyone working with these types of machines, we're sure you can see the benefits the features of this CNC programming software will have for many different applications.For the rapid clearence do you mean you don't know where to enter the value, or is there some other problem.
#Sheetcam plasma setup full#
As the small holes are too small to fit a full sized lead in and lead out, the leads are reduced in size to fit. SheetCam automatically works out the holes are inside so it reverses the cut direction for these features. The image to the right is a screen shot of an example part. SheetCam gives you many options to optimise cutting. Once you have defined you tool you can set up the cut. This increases consumable life and reduces faulty cuts due to blocked or obstructed nozzles Instead of plunging straight in, the cutter torch can ramp in, reducing the amount of material blown back into the torch.
