Sensing type

Selects the type of ohmic sensing to be used in the operation.

  • Disable

    No ohmic sensing will be used in the operation.

  • Initial height sensing (IHS)

    One-dimensional ohmic search will be used for arc transfer/pierce/cut height compensation.

  • Touch along path

    One-dimensional ohmic search will be used for arc transfer/pierce/cut path distance compensation.

Initial height sensing (IHS)

If “Sensing type” Sensing type is selected accordingly - allows user , the user will be able to define a one-dimensional ohmic search for arc transfer/pierce height/cut height compensation according to said sensing type.

  • All cuts

    One-dimensional ohmic search will be performed on all cuts in the operation.

  • First cut of each feature

    One-dimensional ohmic search will be performed on the first cut of each single- and multi-cut (beveled holes etc.) feature.

  • First cut only

    One-dimensional ohmic search will only be performed on the first cut onlyof a multi-cut feature(s).

Touch along path

Selects how touch along path sensing will be used in the operation

...

All cuts

If Sensing type is selected, the user will be allowed to define a sequence of one-dimensional ohmic searches along the path, distributed according to the predefined parameter set that corresponds to the chosen sensing type.

  • All cuts

    The sequence of one-dimensional ohmic searches will be applied to every Plasma Cut Path within a Multi-cut feature.

...

  • First cut of each feature

    The sequence of one-dimensional ohmic searches will be applied only to the first Plasma Cut Path within a Multi-cut feature.

Add an extra touch before the lead-in

...

  • Add an extra touch

...

  • before lead-in

    An extra one-dimensional ohmic search will be performed before lead-in part of the Plasma Cut Path.

...

Touch mode

  • Fixed number (for Touch along path)

    The one-dimensional ohmic searches will be evenly distributed along the Plasma Cut Path(s) based on their defined number and the length of the path.

  • Distance (for Touch along path)

    The one-dimensional ohmic searches will be evenly distributed along the Plasma Cut Path(s) at the intervals defined by the distance value.

    Touch mode display when set to DistanceImage Modified

Distance between touches

Defines distance between touches

...

Defines the interval along Plasma Cut Path for ohmic search distribution in Distance Touch mode.

Number of touches

...

Defines the number of touches

...

ohmic searches to be evenly distributed along the Plasma Cut Path in Fixed number Touch mode.

Auto adjust

...

Spreads the ohmic searches evenly, adjusting the total number based on the distance between touches defined in Distance Touch mode. Ignores the lead-in, lead-out and overlap.

Align at start

...

Forces the first ohmic search to be at the start of the Plasma Cut Path.

Align at end

...

Forces the last ohmic search to be at the end of the Plasma Cut Path.

Transition height

...

Defines the ohmic search entry point in the incremental mode with respect to the target search point.

Transition speed

...

Defines the speed of movement from the ohmic search entry point to ohmic search starting point.

Touch search height

...

Defines the ohmic search starting point in the incremental mode with respect to the target search point.

Touch speed

...

Defines the speed of movement from the ohmic search starting point to ohmic search target point.

Touch direction

Defines the direction of the ohmic search based on the option selected.

  • Normal to surface

    Ohmic search direction is normal to the surface at path point; touch orientation is also normal to the surface at path point.

    Touch direction display when set as Normal to surfaceImage Modified
  • Along feature orientation

    Ohmic search direction follows the best approximation of tube/hole/code/edge axis direction; touch orientation is normal to the surface at path point.

    Touch direction display when set as Along feature orientationImage Modified
  • Along selected vector

    Ohmic search direction is defined by selecting a vector/planar surface (normal to the surface), or a set of unit vectors; touch orientation is normal to the surface at path point.
