Height Sensing parameters
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 is selected, 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 of a multi-cut feature(s).
Touch along path
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
