Plasma Touch Sensor Configuration for UCCNC

Software version: 1.2114

Before starting the configuration and file installation, we recommend creating a backup of the current installation by right-clicking in the current installation folder and zipping it.

STEP 1: Probe pin configuration. This is the pin used to sense the probing action. This pin will go high when the probe touches the plate.

STEP 2: Probe Enable Configuration. This is the pin assigned to enable the probe. This pin will go high while probing.

STEP 3: For testing the PTS-1, you can use this cod,e which does not require any special macro. Note that you could modify your post to generate the required probing commands.

SAMPLE PROBING GCODE:

N0050 F20        (Set the Probing Speed 20mm/sec)
N0060 G31 Z-10   (Start probing action on the Z-axis to a depth of up to 10mm)
N0070 G91 Z 2    (After probing move the Z-Axis 2mm up. This sets the motion to relative mode)
N0080 G90        (Set motion mode back to absolute)
N0090 M03        (Start the Torch)
N0100 G04 P2000  (Set a Pause of 2 seconds to allow the pierce time)
N0110 G01 X5     (Cutting a 5mm square)
N0120 Y5
N0130 X0
N0140 Y0
N0150 M05        (Turn off the Plasma)
