Thanks Ray,
I will hopefully be working on that over the next few days.
Still building the panel (Gotta make it look good as well as work good.) So
far I am making progress and thats good. The goal is to get this up and
running so we can decide wether to put it on production machines or not. How
does this control handle 3d interpolated arcs? Anyone know? The reason I am
asking is we have a machine that has a Fanuc10M control on it. It goes from
80ipm down to about 20ipm while cutting these arcs. Almost all profile
cutting on landing gear is done this way.....It's killing our job
rates....going to bed now.....Dave is tired!
Thanks Again!
