Len, You know, being a proud owner of one of your rotary machines, that I am as interested in this answer as you are. Everyone tell me if I'm wrong, but won't the feed rate also depend on the distance from the center of rotation as well. I mean the surscae of a 3" diameter will spin faster than a 1" diameter, right?
Honestly, I haven't had a ton of time to explore this yet, but there isn't a lot of information available. I'm dying to see how this one comes out, and for you to upload a post processor for me :) Scott On Wed, Jun 24, 2015 at 1:24 PM, Len Shelton <l...@probotix.com> wrote: > On a machine with a rotary A axis, if I run > > G91 A360 X10 F100 > > the machine moves 100IPM on the X and the A axis completes a 360 > degree rotation at the same time.
