Andy brought up this in another post, and I didn't want to hijack that thread.
I wonder if screwmapping of one axis could be applied to another axis. Here's the scenario: Long X axis on my CNC saw beveler. At this point, I'm unable to get the X "bed" much flatter than + or - .006", and it varies the length of the X axis. I cut bamboo on this machine, into tapered triangular strips. The largest triangular cross section can be up to .250", and the smallest down to .020". I can hand plane to final dimensions + or - .001". I'd like my machine to be able to do this too. ;-) Lets say I map every inch along the X axis. Then I select one point as the median. All the other points would either equal that dimension, or be higher or lower than that dimension. is there any way with screw mapping that I could "adjust" the Z axis with screw mapping so as it hits each individual "inch" along the X axis? I've seen some programs that work with PCB boards that probe the surface of the board and adjusts the G code for the differences in height around the board, but it would be nicer for me to set it once in say a text file, and not have to adjust the G code. Possible? Thanks, Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
