Requires Primecut 4.135.33 or later
Primecut can be configured to automatically apply XPR Truehole NG macros for Edge Controller macros:
What's required:
Process Code 1 is to have the True hole process name, e.g. True Hole 130A. This is used by macro $HYPERTHERM_EDGE_CUT_SETUP$ to set the plasma settings
There must exist columns named exactly as following from the cutting data:
THKerfWidth
TH2SigmaClearance
THCutoffTime
thSpeed1C3
thSpeed1C2
thSpeed1C1
thSpeed1C0
thSpeed2C3
thSpeed2C2

If you don't have data, ensure you have rights to use XPR NG truehole and contact Kinetic.
Then the process type for each hole must be
Then, if processing a circle with this process type, the parameters above will be used to generate the codes required to cut a Next Generation True Hole. The lead-in for a Next Generation True Hole isn't the same as what is displayed in primecut, and will always be a half arc cutting from the middle of the circle to the bottom of the circle before completing the cut. All unit parameters are in mm and seconds.
