Our colleagues from Ukraine have shared a video of a unique fume exhaust control setup on a plasma machine which is running with the help of a myCNC-ET7 controller. The different fume extractor hoods open progressively as the machine moves across the plasma cutter table, allowing the machine to only run the fume exhaust directly where the current cutting position is located.

The myCNC team is currently working on developing a post processor for Fusion360. News regarding the post will be available on our blog, stay tuned for further updates.

An automatic measurement procedure has been added to flatbed correction in myCNC software. Flatbed correction allows the user to account for the uneven portions of the working surface, by recording the surface z-coordinates over the entire working area or some part of it.

Previously, the process of selecting the points at which the height measurements would be taken was done manually, with the user moving the probe over the surface and lowering it down at each individual point which the software would then record. In the most recent myCNC version, this process has been automated. The user can now set the number of points that the machine must measure, and the coordinates of the area which the machine will be measuring, with the software automatically splitting that area into a number of zones to probe and record the surface height variations.

A new manual has been added to the myCNC Documentation site covering the basics of DXF import into myCNC software. DXF import allows the user to quickly design and draw a DXF file in a graphics/illustration software package such as Adobe Illustrator or Microsoft Visio, and then convert that DXF file into G-code upon importing it into myCNC software. The manual is designed to introduce the reader to the importing features and settings available to the user.
