I have been experimenting with sheetcam on my centroid table rebuild. I downloaded the sheetcam for centroid post. (works great!).
My question is has anyone used sheetcam to take full control of the table. i mean, using it to control all the pierce operations and possibly using the "wiggle pierce" on thick plate?
centroid with sheetcam.

Re: centroid with sheetcam.
The M61 Macro can be Customized to Operate differently.
Can you Post some example Gcode of a Wiggle Peirce?
I'm assuming you would be looking for something like.
M61 is called
Touch off cycle and the Z retracts to the Pierce Height.
The torch is fired and X Y motion starts for the Wiggle pierce.
After the pierce delay the Torch Lowers to the Cut Height.
M61 macro ends.

Re: centroid with sheetcam.
yes that is what i was thinking. I have no experience with the wiggle type pierce but it sounds like it could be useful on thick plate as the torch would move around in a tight circle to lessen the chance of metal blowing straight up to the nozzle.
