COME on - think .... I simply presumed that Viesturs was saying that he needed to demonstrate that a particular part of an on-going job could be machined by robot which would then make putting that job into production practical. Or even win the job at all. That right Viesturs? The only thing that I can offer for working out 5 axis gcode is cnc toolkit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CNC_Toolkit/ I've not actually succeeded in using it myself, but the PRINCIPAL of maintaining the welding head reliably at the correct angle to what could potentially be a quite complex path is not difficult, and I am sure that someone on that list could help with a demo script. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger.
