Program Codes 429
Automatic Torch Spacing
The Automatic Torch Spacing feature uses codes within the part program, and designated outputs, to
perform precise positioning of individual torch stations for multi-torch cutting processes.
This Feature must be enabled in Machine Setups for use. The Auto Torch Spacing Override feature
in Cutting Setups must also be enabled.
In this process, the master torch station has a fixed mount to the transverse axis and the other slave
torch stations have the ability to clamp to the mechanics of the transverse axis during use or lock to
the gantry or beam when not in use.
For the example, below Torch 1 is the master station and Torch 2-4 are the slave stations.
Typical use is as follows:
1) Unclamp and Unlock all stations (except the first which is fixed and slides the others)
2) Go to Home Command on Transverse Axis (M77 or M78 depending on orientation)
