IHS is used to set the pierce and initial cut height based on material height, a simple switch with floating head is used to implement the feature. THC is used to vary the height while the torch is cutting based on voltage readings from the plasma cutter. Both require a powered Z but both do different things.
What is softpierce percentage in sheetcam pro#
The Pro has both Initial Height Sense IHS and Torch Height Control THC. I’m assuming in sheetcam I can adjust the THC plunge rate just like I can the feed rate. I would like the torch to only travel UP a small amount when Im doing back to back circles, no point in the machine running up 3" for something like that.ģ. were do I program in sheetcam how far up the torch goes after a cut? or is that just a default height? I’m hoping the THC will help with cycle time for my plasma to catch up but I don’t want to add too much time in between cuts either.ġ.So question again, what is a good plunge rate?Ģ. So my cut times are very critical since I basically cut production.

I’v talked to them multiple times about this and they are well aware. The hyp systems as great as they are, have issues with very fast back to back pierces, thus creating misfires. My question is, what is an ideal plunge rate? All my programs have tons of pierces, I’m talking almost 100 in a 1x2ft piece of material. I have enough issues between my machine now and hyp 65 on a daily cutting basis (story in of itself). Been kinda dreading the learning curve and issues. Patiently waiting for the Pro to show up.

Hi guys, I’v had two crossfires so far been on here a while.
