No, it’s not a camshaft :). The profile is continuous and I want to avoid having to build an actual powered axis in the direction that I am probing. I would like a simple roller-follower attached to an encoder that, pretends to be an axis—not that there’s a huge difference between the two. Though there will need to be a way to engage the roller from a stored position, but that can be a manual job. _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
