A new myCNC update (version 1.88.3676) has been released.

 

New features

  • 2 Axis (No tool lift) tangential knife setups setting. This setting allows users to use systems without a Z-axis motor to raise/lower the knife, and which instead rely on pneumatics to control the vertical position of the working tool. This setting allows to replace the raise/lower commands which would typically be generated during DXF import with M07/M08 PLC commands. The user can then edit M07/M08 to manually turn the necessary controller outputs on and off.

  • 3D visualization settings enhancements - the Settings> Config> Screen> 3D Visualization window now allows to choose common presets for machine setups, such as 3 Axes, Tangential Knife, Pipe Cutting and 3D Plasma. This allows to select the common presets with the proper Axes, Directions and Tilt settings without having to manually set up this information in the full table below.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed the issues with tangential knife visualization - orientation of the knife should be correct during the cutting process now.
