    Default Shopbot Link

    I believe there is a way to write some simple code in the "machine settings" under "header/footer tab" to command the spindle to go to a designated area after sheet has been finished.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated..thx

    In your post processor you can change that.

    If you want to make this move every time
    Look for:

    [CODE]+---------------------------------------------------
    + Commands output at the end of the file
    +---------------------------------------------------
    begin FOOTER
    "JZ,[ZH]"
    "J2,[XH],[YH]"[/CODE]

    Where [ZH],[XH],[YH] are place whatever location you like you like.

    If its a one off you should just change the sbp file at the end.

    The post processor docs are a good read. Always backup your files BEFORE you make changes.

    In the Link click settings..Header/Footer. In the Sheet Footer put J2,5,5
    This would jog your machine to X/Y 5" X 5"
    at the completion of operations I think if you wanted to jog 3 axes it would be something like J3,2,5,5
    So I think it would jog your Z to 2" and X/Y to 5" X 5"
    Hope this helps
