Hello,
I need some help with my new build plasma machine. I probably have been making this more complicated than needed but it seemed logical at the time. I am mostly complete and trying to finalize the floating head. Here is the concept of the operation of my floating head.
(1) Torch moves to first location to start cutting.
(2) Z starts moving down.
(3) Torch touches material and continues down until mechincal switch trips.
(4) Z switch sends "home" reference to Mach and to mechanical brake.
(5) Z floating head brake locks floating head.
(6) Z then travels up using the home locked head position as 0.000.
I tried to post some pictures but not sure how because it asked for web location of the picture and they are on my computer.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
