Some things never change. A local company hired a new engineer who 
made some drawings for a prototype machine.Everything was 
dimensioned in inches and the
engineer had 4 digits to the right of the decimal point on many of the 
dimensions with no notes on required precision.   The local company has 
a machine shop but they were too busy to make the parts
so they sent the job out to a large local machine shop that has a large 
number of state of the art CNC machines.   The RFQ was returned with a 
handwritten note saying that
they can make the parts as drawn, but that they would be unaffordable.. 
   please call to discuss.:-)
I caught the frustrated machine shop manager as he was headed towards 
the newbie engineers desk to chew him out for wasting his time.  He 
won't make that same mistake twice!

 Let’s say, for example, you have a part that takes some machining at some 
 angle to the parts normal X, Y, and Z.  My CAD/CAM software will let me pick 
 a 3D face and will align to that for generating the code.  Is it possible to 
 do something similar with LinuxCNC?  like if you need to machine a flat and 
 drill a hole at 45 degrees between the X and Z, can you rotate the CNC 
 coordinate system 45 degrees about the Y axis so that when you jog X, the 
 machine moves X and Z at a 45 degree angle, and when you jog Z, the machine 
 moves Z and X at 45 degrees (90 degrees from the X jog).
 
 This jogging at an angle would be used to indicate the part and touch off the 
 normal X and Z surfaces to properly align the part for machining the geometry 
 at an angle.
 
 Sorry for my ignorance for the kinematics but I’m envisioning something like 
 3D trig where you can rotate the coordinate system in 3D, use jogging for 
 aligning and touching off the part, then go back to machine coordinates and 
 machine the geometry at the correct location and angle.  Otherwise it seems 
 difficult to stick a part in the vise at 45 degrees and position a hole as 
 some coordinate from angled surfaces.
 
 Another thought that may be similar, if you could use probe input, you could 
 rotate the part and touch off 3 points to define the planes for top, side,  
 end (XY, XZ,  YZ ?).  I thought this might already be possible because I’ve 
 read the LinuxCNC can do 6 axis (X,Y,Z, and A,B,C).
 
 Any thoughts?  Can variables be used or calculated for rotating the machine 
 kinematics (or coordinate system) to aid positioning parts at odd angles for 
 machining?

The answer is probably maybe

I don't think that doing what you describe makes any sense unless you
can also change the angle of the tool axis. If you are talking about
changing the tool axis then it becomes a normal 4/5 axis kinematics.

I guess with a tilting-head mill there is no reason that the angular
axes used by kinematics need to actually be motorised. The AB angles
could be inputs to HAL set to match the physical angles manually set
by the operator.

There is a 5axiskins in src/emc/kinematics that might already do what
you are describing under the situation described above.

Re: [Emc-users] Adjustable Kinnematics?

2013-05-31 Thread RogerN

I machined the trigger group in an AR-15 receiver using my manual mill.  I 
bought 5 AR- 15 receiver blank forgings and would like to machine them with 
my CNC mill.  I have a solid model IGES file that has all the geometry I 
need to machine the part.  The problem is when I try to machine the surfaces 
that are at an angle to the normal machined surfaces.  If I could indicate 
the part in the vise at an angle, then I could machine it aligned to my 3 
axis machine coordinates.  So if I could manually rotate the part and 
indicate it in, then I think it would be possible to machine in 3 axis 
aligned to the 4th, 5th, and 6th axis that I don't have in reality.  For my 
receiver I have machine top  bottom. left  right side, plus fore and aft, 
plus at least 2 parts at an angle to the other setups, and that's where the 
problem is.  I guess I'm wanting 4 or 5 axis machining without 4 or 5 axis 
of motion, with the part manually positioned at the angle the CNC would like 
it positioned to machine.

In theory you could set up a 5-axis kinematics and manually set the
angles of the rotary axes. But elements such as the tool length and
the distances between rotation axes and the datum planes become
critical.

The real problem as I see it is: if you make a mistake you trash an
expensive part. Not fun. 

It is nice to have a cheap prototype to practice on. :-)

In that vein I heard a story about a piece being machined at Hanford. 
The dwg called for a hole xxx in dia yyy in depth within this very
complex part. The machinist did it as called out but the drawing was
wrong. Trashed 1.5 million worth of machining. Another one of those
horror stories.

 We conclude that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep
 and bear arms. That right existed prior to the formation of the new
 government under the Constitution and was premised on the private use of
 arms for activities such as hunting and self-defense, the latter being
 understood as resistance to either private lawlessness or the depredations
 of a tyrannical government. - U.S. Court of Appeals, D.C. Circuit, March
 9, 2007

  In that vein I heard a story about a piece being
 machined at Hanford.
  The dwg called for a hole xxx in dia yyy in depth
 within this very
  complex part. The machinist did it as called out but
 the drawing was
  wrong.
 
 Drawing wrong can lead to long arguments. I have made
 drawings like
 that. I had 1mm tolerance on several things, and .01 on a
 very thin web. They machined to nominal dimensions….

Somewhere on the web (I can't find it now) is a hilarious RFQ rejection form 
with checkboxes for many reasons why a shop can't or won't do a job.

One of them is something like Zero or negative wall thickness. We don't care if 
your part is gone when we're done machining, we're still getting paid.
