Tip & Tricks for array operations?

[rambotics]

Is there anyway to resume an array operation at a specific piece?

We are using the array operation on the B18.  If something happens and we need to resume at a specific piece then can you have the matching resume at piece number?  

Also, is there anyway to have the machine skip going home between each piece?  Right now we restart from the beginning and waste a lot of time watching the machine retrace already completed pieces...

Thanks for any suggestions!

If you are using the array feature on the B18 controller and not simply an array created by your software, then there is no known way to resume from a specific point. We recommend creating your arrays in your software, which will allow you to resume any job from any specific line of G-code.

With regards to returning home, when a tool path is completed, that is a setting in the controller. It is referenced as the "stop state" or "back position" in your manual. Reach out to our support team if you need assistance. [phone]
