I agree. It is more al the signal level or HAL level or component level
that I am wondering about. You cannot simply change the Z value as we do
with THCUD. There are A and C axis involved now as well.

You need to introduce virtual axis W for that purpose.
There's this config... 5axiskins or smth.

Cutting a bevel the thickness is different than the sheet but the arc
distance is the same for the thickness being cut IMHO.

This is where I'd
5axiskins exports a pin pivot-length which is the tool length offset.
You will have to be careful when conecting this pin to the THC because the THC
can have big steps in its output which could cause following errors. Maybe you
should connect the output to a filter and then the output of the
The THC component can run in the servo loop and I can limit the rate
that it changes by. I have a rate setting on the plasma screen for that
purpose.
Let me see if I understand it then.
I will measure the arc voltage and if it is out of spec I will tweak
pivot-length at a low rate to adjust the
That sounds interesting. Can one change the pivot length during a move?

Subject: Re: [Emc-developers] THC with 5 axis
Hello, when the plasma is at an angle to work, it is more difficult for
the control to 'see' the height ( one side of the surface is often gone
). Similar to drilling a sphere, its easy when the drill path is a
radius to center, but difficult when off center, very difficult as you
approach the
Z is still the only axis that controls the torch height. A and C should
be programmed to follow the path needed for the part. Just trying to
visualize that machine in my head... is A and C rotating Z or the part?

Pivot-length is a hal pin which modifies the kinematics calculations which are
made at servo rate. You can change it's value as often as that.
As long as the changes are smooth enough to not to generate following errors,
you should be OK.
One way I imagine to do that is using M67 and

The A rotates the head around the X axis and the A rotates the head
around the Z axis. If the torch is sitting at 45 deg and you pull up the
Z axis it will cut on another line. True the flame is further away but
also not on the same cut line any more
