Re: [Emc-users] How to specify rotational speed (4th axis)

2011-02-08 Thread Belli Button
I 'configure' the rotary axis for 'linear' axis, still 360degrees per turn. This allows a call of A720, two turns (A1080, three turns, etc). Specifying it as rotary means it rolls over every 360 degrees, when you have done a few turns you don't know where you are on the part. It does mean that

[Emc-users] How to specify rotational speed (4th axis)

2011-02-08 Thread Igor Chudov
So I have this rotary table for 4th axis. If I specify a rotational move in conjunction with a move in coordinae axes, like this G1 X1 A25 f1 then the rotary move is timed to coincide with the dimensional move. But f I specify G1 A360 F1, the speed is ignored and the rotation occurs at the hig

Dear all, i just wonder if driving a servo system in such a way would be possible (EMC2 (hostmot2) + mesa5i20 + mesa 7i44 + CT digitax st (EIA485 ANSI, modbus RTU)). I do not know much about serial communication, that's why I'm asking. Link for serial communication for CT Digitax ST
