Vucuum and Thermwod

[Thom Davies]

Hey Hows it going?

Had an idea after we had a few probs.

Is there a way the thermwood can have a feature that it wont begin to run if the vacuum isnt on?

Thanks

Thom,

Several customers have a wired a Vacuum switch into an unused position on the 24VDC Input circuit and then used the M60L? macro to check and see if that Input is made. This will stop the machine from continuing until the Input is made.

*NOTE: The voltage from the vacuum switch to the Input circuit MUST be 24VDC, terminal damage can be done to the Control if it is not. For more questions about this please contact our Service Dept.

Thanks,

How do you add M60L to your CNC code? Do you have to add it each sheet? or do you do it in Rolling Nest?


Cheers

If you are wanting to add the marco in Rolling Nest, you can click on the SETTINGS button in rolling nest. In rolling nest settings, there is an area on the mid-left called MACHINE SETTINGS. There is another button called SHEET MACROS. From there, you can type in your macro to check your vacuum switch input (M60L#). If you add your macro to the header, it will then insert your macro just below the SET ZSHIFT, SET XSHIFT, and SET YSHIFT values for each sheet.
