scriber post

Post by _Ogre »

i've been using an electric scriber and the ''plasma MP1000-THC post processor with engraver'' post
aka mach3 thc with scriber post.
it has been working fine with the exception of i need to manually enter M09 in the gcode to turn it off.
i have since bought an air scriber and modified the air scribe mount.

i edited the scribe offsets in the post for the new air scribe mount, that is all i edited in the post.
now when i scribe the torch comes down, touches off, moves to z offset, moves to the new xy offset and scribe turns
on.
scribe on also lowers the air slide mount, same air solenoid.
that is all good, but now the z axis moves up, maybe a half inch scribing a 3/8'' hole.
so i scribe air now.

anyone have an idea of what went wrong? all i modified in the post was the scribe offsets.
