I have been using a manual for a Billco CNC1000 glass cutting table and understand most of what I see (in direct relation to the glass cutting plan), But I do have some questions which are not answered for me in this manual and I havent been able to find a direct answer yet. I will use one of the generated programs that I have that works.

I understand the cutter specifics (hence only the first and last 2 lines of the cutting table gcode). But the other sections (other than filename) I have no manual for. The section names are mine and/or my interpretation of what they are.
What I can tell you is that in this particular program, the cutting plan is being executed 3 times, but im not quite sure how the P1 (lines 1 & 9950) and p2 commands (lines 9951, 9953, & 9955) and the G25 (lines 2, 133, & 9899) & G26 (lines 9952, 9954, & 9956) work to control the cutting.
Could someone please fill me in on what I am missing by hopefully adding comments to the above code so that I can understand it.
Thanks very much  |
