Hi all
Got my screen resolution soved - by miracle. I had to move the hardware into
another case, that is more workshop compatible. Fired the PC up and tataa :
kubuntu asked a confirmation whether or not to continue with low res.
So I can go back to my initial task: hot wire cutting.
Q4: From what I understand, emc can work off gcode only, istthat true?
If so, then there has to be a kind of a preprocessor to generate the g-code
file. If I get a suitable library regarding gcode generation, I believe I can
handle this.
Then that gcode must be processed and the actual cutting handled. That's where
I see emc off course. In axis, the setup instead of a couple of 2D views could
simply be the view as is, provided the tension hooks of the wire and the
penetration point of the wire in the foam is shown. That could be done in the
3D panel of axis I believe (probably Jeff to comment in this). Further, similar
to milling, I see the wire beeing visualised as a whole. The cut paths of the
wire could be shown on the block surfaces, as planned and as done, all along
the same way as milling is visualised. I will try a mockup to visulise my idea
later this weekend and send this to whome is interested. I do hope, that this
lines give a picture.
Q5: can above interface be added to axis / emc?
Here is a collection of the parameters I see so far, relevant to hot wire
cutting. These should be presettable but also chaneable within axis:
- Foam: influences travel speed wire heat, wire diameter and wire tension => I
see a kind of database, inside the preprocessior / gcode generator, accessible
from within axis
- travel speed of wire
- tension of wire (if controlled, could result in much better cutting results,
since wire extends when heated an retracts whenn cooled, as soon as
entereinginto foam)
- temperature of wire (current passing through it, measurable at free part only)
- travel speed, especially at tight turns and/or sharp corners
