I believe there is a way to write some simple code in the "machine settings" under "header/footer tab" to command the spindle to go to a designated area after sheet has been finished.

Any help would be greatly appreciated..thx

In your post processor you can change that. :D

If you want to make this move every time
Look for:


+---------------------------------------------------
+ Commands output at the end of the file
+---------------------------------------------------
begin FOOTER
"JZ,[ZH]"
"J2,[XH],[YH]"

Where [ZH],[XH],[YH] are place whatever location you like you like.

If its a one off you should just change the sbp file at the end. :)

The post processor docs are a good read. Always backup your files BEFORE you make changes.

This will take me some time figure out. Unfortunately I'm not a propeller head..:) Thanks

In the Link click settings..Header/Footer. In the Sheet Footer put J2,5,5
This would jog your machine to X/Y 5" X 5"
at the completion of operations I think if you wanted to jog 3 axes it would be something like J3,2,5,5
So I think it would jog your Z to 2" and X/Y to 5" X 5"
Hope this helps
