Hi I am interesting in ZERO gage length capability of controller because length of tool is only on parameter of tool- length. Idea is create program on CAD/CAM and machinist will look for tool and whatever he finds –tool he measured put into controller and controller recalculate actual tool path. So, tool length is only on parameter that describes tool, what about diameter, what about taper, what about form tool with special geometry that that we start use more and more and more, what about corner radius what is extremely important for surface machining, what about number of flute and others parameters? I thing that EMC2 controller should become extension on CAD/CAM terminal/(computer station) that generates NC code. Is it possible to configure EMC2 as a extension of CAD/CAM terminal/
