Post for a Dynatorch XLS Plasma Table

Hi Matt, we’ve built and tested a JC3 DynaTorch XLS Plasma post from your SigmaNEST sample. I’ve attached it here, and it will also be bundled with the next release.

To install it now:

1. Download dynatorch-plasma.jcpst.
2. In JC3, open Edit → Machines…, select your plasma machine, and open Post.
3. Click the folder icon beside the current post, copy the downloaded file into that folder, then click Refresh list.
4. Select DynaTorch XLS Plasma and click OK.

If possible, could you post a small test job and confirm that it runs correctly on your table before our planned release this Sunday, November 8?

One open question is exhaust control. The SigmaNEST .pst references fan support, but the example G-code doesn’t contain any command or output for automatic exhaust. Does your DynaTorch motion controller support G-code-controlled exhaust, and is that something you use? If so, please attach G-code posted from SigmaNEST with automatic fan control enabled and/or the DynaTorch.pas file that the .pst calls for fan support. We’d like to include it as an optional post setting.

Worked fine, Thanks.

We do not use auto exhaust on our machine.

.pas file attached if you need it.

Could you add the material thickness etc, to the post header?

Thanks for confirming that it works and for sending the .pas file. We’ve updated the DynaTorch post to include the output filename, machine, date/time, material, thickness and kerf width in the program header.

We left automatic exhaust control out since you don’t use it. The updated dynatorch-plasma.jcpst is attached—please replace the earlier file with this version and let us know if the header looks right on your next posted job.

Looks good, Thanks.
