Pronest Post Processor with plasma/scribe

[nomis135]

Hello,
I've asked Hypertherm for a post processor for our Masso G3 touch + thc and everything is working fine on the plasma side.
The problem is with the scribe part.
I've made a program with the new post-processor and the scribe goes on and off no problem.
My problem is that when the scribe starts it doesn't probe z so the machine doesn't know where it is in Z axis.
So the first scribe is done at whatever height the Z axis is than it goes to travel height of 1" and does the 2nd scribe 1" over the material.

Hypertherm tells me they need an exemple gcode of a working scribe with masso g3 that works.
Which I don't have.

Hope someone can send me an example code of a working scribe or tell me how I get the torch to probe Z before activating the scribe.

Thanks in advance,
Simon

Good afternoon not sure if you figured out what you need to with the scribe set up I am just starting to use mind and having almost the same difficulties that you did is it possible you can send me a copy of your postprocessing our program that you use are using to get the scribe to work correctly.

Are you using an air ram for the up / down stroke on the scribe? A Pneumatic solenoid valve controlled by M Codes is what I had in mind for my drill and scribe.

So sorry it took me so long to get back to you I've been working out of town. Yes I am using M3 with him seven for my misting system. To come on when I scribing and using the plasma cutting

Can you share your post processor?

Are you able to share the ProNest plasma post. If not could you let me know what they named the file so I can ask for it. Hypertherm wrote me a post processor as well but it's not working. I sent them examples, but they were not really thrilled to write it.
