Hello,
I have an old oxygen acetylene cnc , I need to change the Z axis while working.
As far as I can see the program can not do this.
So if I send a plain 2D (like laser cutting) G code I should be able to change the Z axis height on the fly.
It would be extra if when the laser light is switched off, so to speak, the head rises, and then when switched on, it descends to the last position.
Is there any way to do this with a macro?
Or any other way?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi Frob,
Welcome to the forum.
I did a quick search for how other people create toolpaths for a plasma cutter and stumbled on this guy that has it figured out using vectric software.
You might find it interesting.
Hi @Spamming_Eddie
yes thank you very much, I see you are using macros, there should be a description somewhere to help you with the macro creation.
How can I change the motor speed or feed rate while running?
Because I was thinking here that if the macro had that variable in a place where I could set the time constant or altitude.
press a button to run a macro, perhaps?
