Hi, I'm planning on building a 5axis plasma cutter similar to this one <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/machinekit/jTE2p9Jc6Fo/jXMEL5CXAwAJ> but with one more axis to tilt the torch head. I'm thinking of starting from the existing maxkins kinematics (XYZBC) and then modify it to my needs.
Sorry if some questions seem 'stupid' but I'm quite new in CAM.. I'm googling around and try to understand how the 5axis interface works between CAM softwares and CNC controller (Machinekit). What I'm struggling to understand is what will be the G-codes supported by Machinekit if I use the "maxkins" configuration? Does Machinekit support RTCP (Rotating Tool Center Point) like in this video <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj7zqI7Wdhw>. If yes, what are the G-codes commands Machinekit can understand to handle RTCP? I would need to know that to chose/configure the post-processor. Or Maybe I should rather ask what post-processor (configuration) should I use to produce G-code that can be understood by Machinekit? Thanks for your help, /Damien -- website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io github: https://github.com/machinekit --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machinekit" group.
