Automatic Torch Spacing
The automatic torch spacing feature uses codes within the part program, and designated
outputs, to perform precise positioning of individual torch stations for multi-torch cutting
processes.
This feature must be enabled in Machine Setups. The Auto Torch Spacing Override feature in
Cutting Setups must also be enabled.
In this process, the primary torch station has a fixed mount to the transverse axis and the other
secondary torch stations have the ability to clamp to the mechanics of the transverse axis during
use or lock to the gantry or beam when not in use.
For the example, in the following illustration, Torch 1 is the primary station and Torch 2-4 are
the secondary stations.
Typical use is as follows:
1)
Unclamp and unlock all stations (except the first which is fixed and slides the others)
2) Go to Home Command on Transverse Axis (M77 or M78 depending on orientation)
