control over B axis

[markevans]

Hey,
this is my best chance on a Sat to figure this out, already struck out in the help files.

I am checking out a new toy for the handibot for Ted and it uses the B axis to move linearly for tiling well the control software insists on returning it to .5" before starting cutting, is there a setting to turn this action off so I can properly control B?

thanx

Not quite sure of the situation, but it sounds more like it's a post processor issue. The generated tiling file is telling it to go there at the start of each file. Much in the same way that the x and y would go to 0,0 before going to the start of the cut. If you are using one of the Vectric products, there is a tutorial for modifying/customizing the post processor file. For an experiment, you could open each tiled file in a text editor and edit out the line that returns it to that position.

Okay, it is fixed and I'll post in case someone else has this problem, the safe hight for A was set to .5", well it afects B as well so if you have this problem the fix is [VC] then delete any value in A safe height.

Good to hear. Knew 'A' was there, but interesting to know that it affects 'B' as well. So, I take it that the 'JH' at the end of a tiled file is what was jogging the 'B' axis to 'Safe Pull-Up as well.

That is exactly what was happing Scott. I knew it had to be a Safe Pull up somewhere but of all the looking around in the control SW I had never seen [VC].
