    Laser noob would like some g code info

    I can MDI a G14 while head sensing is on and it does not turn it off but a G13 P0 will. I will look up the status page while it's cutting to see if the settings go back. The guy who made the old programs not only deleted all the G40s (except the one at the begining) but deleted the whole line...

    Laser noob would like some g code info

    Thanks for the info. I tried some test cuts and learned a few things: As you said, G13 P1 is height sensing on but G13 P0 (which is not in any old programs) is sensing off- I still don't know what G14 does. D1 is the offset. I'm curious about the power/freq/duty that is listed on N7 of the...

    Laser noob would like some g code info

    Here is a sample .nc file with the pierce cycle at the end. The pictures are not of my machine but are almost identical except my controller has a trackball on it.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=8bb2ce64-eef9-4e6e-805d-589802cb2f32&file=2kwlaser.zip

    Laser noob would like some g code info

    The machine is an iMachines i-L2500 (2KW) with a 3x4 matrix of oxygen tanks. The laser generator is a GE Fanuc Laser C2000 Model E. I double checked the rest of the info from my original post and it is correct.

    Laser noob would like some g code info

    Hi all, My company hired me earlier this year to run their wire EDM. I have been running EDMs for many years but now they want me to run their old laser machine too which has been sitting dormant for a while. The controller is an old 160i-L Fanuc with a Windows 95 OS (that interface and those...
