Hello everyone.

I am new to these forums so forgive me if I may not be folling the posting coventions properly. My emplyoer has an Amada LCG 3015 AJ machine and we are trying to solve a problem and maybe someone can help me. we cut a lot of half inch stainless and during the cutting process our cooling systems lines freeze up causing the machine to stop. We were told a larger nitrogen tank may help and we have heat sink installed. We began attempting to run half inch sheets at night time and attemped to prevent the freezing by inserting dwell codes into the program but during the dwell it seems the nitrogen continues to flow and freeze the lines. I was advised to try raising the head before the dwell code. My question is how do I manually raise the head with a code? Im guess the z axis is built into the code because I cant find any Z code in the program. Is there a way I can insert a code into the programe to raise the head before it dwells?

Thanks for you time.
Regards,
Troy

Hi Troy.

Try adding
G00G40
M104Z2.000 "change Z to whatever head height you need the head to rise" on the lines before you dwell code?
