Stan,
Would you please post a sample?
of your G-code?
I would like to compare it to the post processed G code using the Artsoft Plasma post processor.
Thanks,

Chuck, in my opinion your post processor is at the core of any work done by CNC. I used the MP1000¨C THC for my post processor initially and then edited it for the laser, scribe, plasma, and the oxy acetylene torch that is on the table. I also made descriptions in my output file and put in cut sequence numbers so I can start stop or correct anywhere in a job. I will post a picture of the g code... a proficient working knowledge of Lua is very helpful.

Thank you for the detailed response Stan,
Are you using the artsoft Mach3 plasma post processor?
Chuck?

Hello Chuck, I have been using mach3 for many years on my 9' x 23' plasma table and basically what you're trying to do requires that you use a plasma post processor with THC. That is where your THC is going to be initiated in the output G-Code and then ran in the plasma screen set that interact with your THC controller. The other part of the THC is a Plasma Cutter with torch active/ volts or adding this option through the installation of an Amp coil. You need to check with your plasma manufacturer for this option on your model or get one from the manufacturer of your THC controller that you will be using. Hope this helps.

I recently attached by plasma torch to my milling machine.

I am using the basic Mill profile And post processing my fusion 360 plasma cutter paths with the MACH3 plasma post processor within fusion 360.?
Going this route I am using a lot of consumables on the plasma torch.?
I¡¯m interested in using the MACH3 plasma profile With the torch height control, ?THC, Provisions.
?
Can someone point me in the right direction to get this set up??
thank you,
