Program wire to stop so a magnet can be inserted

[david]

Using Mastercam 2017, could someone do a screen shot showing the proper way to program a stop so a magnet can be put on the part to prevent a punch from dropping on the lower wire guide. We have a Sodick wire machine if  it matters. Thanks in advance.

On the Cut Parameters page you can ask for a Tab and set the desired width for it.

In the Chain window on this page (right side – center) you’ll see something like this ->

Chain 1 - Rough (with stop and tab cut)

 

Here is some sample (Mitsubishi) code going around a 1x1 square, stopping .1” before cutting off the tab.
