why at all does your plasma use XY Zeroing
i got on all 4 Plasmas we use a Fix XY zero wher the sheet is fixed to and all programms use this zero

ok i only got 1x1meter sheets no inlays

but the Homing refers to this point and then Z touchoff as you do it
i

the Fix Zero makes life very easy
one button press and then run

Why are you not using one of the configs that have automated probe in hal ?

Choose one depending on your hardware.

Mostly we will not use XY-zeroing.
This is just so that you have the possibility, if perhaps even a workpiece is not in the corner.

@tommylight
That would have been a possibility, of course.
I have not seen the thread before.

if you are on THC
toms config changes on every M3 is a waist of time
with 100 M3 in files it is a nightmare on theroing up

It does not "changes on every M3", it does probe for material on every M3.
Here that is a must as the material used here is the bottom quality, so it warps a lot. Also i have some very fast Z axis that can do 6000mm per minute and have 28 cm travel ! Probe time = 1 second

I have seen people with 5mm bent table not doing probing at all as the thc jumps in and goes to the given Voltige down
within a mm of travel at 6m/min
even on Torch fire-ring startup at 5mm from material
