Plasma with Acorn?

[mario.morosavljevic]

Greetings all,

I have a few questions in regards to plasma with Acorn and CNC12. So we have mill router running on centroid and we constructed our machine to be both mill and plasma. Now I'd like to ask a few questions in regards to software and running a plasma on Acorn.

1) Is it possible to have 2 separate configurations sets in CNC12 (1 for plasma and 1 for mill) and how?
2) Is it possible to use proma 150 THC without plug-in which is currently in development? If not is there any estimate when we can expect it?
3) Do we require some additional macros or anything to run a plasma on cnc12?
4) Is there any wiring scheme for plasma system?

Thanks and have a blast day,
Mario M.

No plasma, use Mill
Use a torch control that will control your Z axis with step and direction and monitor your plasma voltage.

Type plasma in the search box, others have done what you want to do.
