Could anyone tell me where I can get a Mach 2 or 3 plasma screen.

Try the ftp at www.machsupport.com

Gerry,

Thanks for the advise, I checked and didn't see any there for plasma. I talked with Art last week and he said he was working on one but didn't have any right now. He advised to check the user groups... (flame2)

You are welcome to download and use the MP1000-THC plasma screen from our support site. It has the DRO's to set the tip volts but that only works with the MP1000 series. You can ignore that part. The bitmaps for the screens are in the same section. You will need to join and access the files section but we welcome all HSCNC'rs.

This is where a lot of new screens popup that user have created. I use them myself also. (not plasma but others)

Hi, I've downloaded and installed Mach 3 ver. 2.45 and it has the plasma screen but I can't find anything in the manual about it or how to set it up and actually use the screen. Can anyone point me to where I can get that info?
Thanks

Download our manual for the MP1000 off the website. It has some generic setup stuff using our screens and XML's (available off candcncsupport yahoo group). there is more to it than just loading a screen. The first part is to trigger a relay to turn on the torch (output1) using an M03 and M05. A lot of the inputs on the MACH supplied screen are parameters that would normally come from your CAM program. SheetCAM has excellent plasma features and controls lead-ins, offsets, pierce height, pierce delay, cut height, etc.
