MARKING/SCRIBING USING PLASMA TORCH.

Hi All,
I am trying to use plasma torch to scribe/mark letters and numbers on the job. How do I create tool path in TorchMate CAD . Our machine Burny Phantom spirit 275A.
Thanks in advance.

I am using Torchmate CAD 9.0

 

We have some very good tutorials on our website torchmate.com/university. You are receiving that message because your Lead-in length is too large to place inside the object. When platemarking you want to do an online tool path.

 

Thanks for your reply. We are not using plate maker. We are trying to use plasma torch to scribe the font. for example F18 on the picture above. How can i scribe using plasma torch.
Thanks.

 

It is no different use the online tool path using the plasma torch tool, set your plasma cutter to marking.

 

Thank you so much. Your help is much appreciated.

If I set my plasma cutter to marking. Just wondering how will outer rectangular and holes will cut??
Ho will the machine differentiate between plasma marking and cutting?

Thanks again.

 

It doesnt, you would need to pause the program after it moved into position to begin plasma cutting, switch back to normal cutting and then resume the program.
