The Torch Bends the Workpiece During Touch-off

Background

Ohmic probing is best utilized when material 20 ga. and thinner, where the weight of the torch during proving could otherwise deform the sheet metal before the probe switch triggers.

Turn on Ohmic Probing

Reason: Ohmic probing is disabled.

If ohmic probing is disabled the plasma table will rely on the switch in the floating torch head to detect touch-off. This can be useful for painted materials, but you need to make sure the Torch Touch Trigger Depth is set correctly as noted above. If necessary to work around a bending workpiece, the workpiece or work coordinate system can be relocated to a position where the workpiece is better supported by the table’s slats.

• Open the Settings tab and ensure that the check-box for ohmic probing is enabled.
