here's how one group worked with the fast turn around at edge of work the machine tool was like the emc2-bipod and the software built huge arcs into the endmotions to keep velocity up and dampen the bipod swing the effort was http://hektor.ch and the added arcs that kept the velocity up are seen on http://hektor.ch/About/Interface.gif/ the red lines are the programmed paths the blue lines are the addition motion added to allow a constant velocity. kinda fun a cam solution to the machine's capabilties (not a control solution) regards tomp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.
