Torch height between cuts

[james98svt]

On Mach 3 on a wright cnc table is there a way to adjust torch height between cuts? Had it snag a piece of warped metal and drug and ruined the piece I was cutting

What generates your gcode for Mach3 ??

Normally the "Safe Z" rapid moves between cuts are part of the settings in the cam program that makes the gcode.

We use sheet cam

Give this a try, dummy run if you can.

Go to top menu and Options, then select Job options and in there you should see several values, Material name size of material etc, further down is
Rapid clearance set that to suit what you want, Click on OK then import drawing and continue from there. Have a run through and see if that works for you, for large shapes where you get no tip over it can probably stay low, but on a job with lots of smaller sections that could tip up you can try it higher depending on what you find.

As I said give it a dry run first is you can there will be a bit of a trade off with the extra time needed to rise and plunge times on a big job.
