Hello
Yesterday I was on North West machine tool show in Portland OR.
I found piece of equipment that I look for.
It is laser tracer manufacture by FARO
http://www.faro.com/content.aspx?ct=us&content=pro&item=3
It is exactly that I look for.
Laser head trace some glass boll all the time no matter where that glass boll
moves.
So, if I install this boll on the spindle that FARO will give to me XYZ
positioning at the all the time, constantly.
Limitation are do not move that glass boll faster than 4 meters per second that
there are no reason to do that, and second limitation is that distance of
measurements no more that 300 feet. Accuracy of measurements -/+ 0.0012 inch.
Output of that tracer is signals that let computer show XYZ coordinate of glass
boll and my interest is to convert that data into the same data format as
normal encoder produces to I can plug those data into EMC2
I need help and direction in how to covert data that goes to computer to show
positioning XYZ into data equal to data that comes out of encoder.
Also on show I saw controller made in Germany (hemmenhofen something like that)
that has something different in compare to FANUC that how salesman offered it.
Can that controller be better than FANUC?
Thank you,
Aram
