Re: [Emc-users] Tool offset

is the part moving or the kerf filling with swarf thus affecting the size? tho i cant picture how the part gets larger maybe in some direction and not overall? or some sort of stress relief is ocurring if the above, try glue-stops or tabs else, i dunno (fiddler on the roof said. you want to know

Re: [Emc-users] Tool offset

I have been looking at several other possibilities, including that. The odd thing is that it only happens with the one material. The densest of the materials we are running. Thanks, Eric On June 30, 2016 11:21:03 AM EDT, Todd Zuercher wrote:

Re: [Emc-users] Tool offset

Just a thought, is there a chance you have an imperfection in your head assembly or the kinimatics, that is causing your cut to be offset slightly? In other words are the pieces the same size if you cut them out in the opposite direction? - Original Message - From: "Eric H. Johnson"

Re: [Emc-users] Tool offset

Eric, Are you doing tool comp with a rotating knife head? If so I am wondering why? I didn't think that knives required tool comp? Dave On 6/30/2016 9:31 AM, Eric H. Johnson wrote: > I did that and ran into another problem I am not sure how to get around. If > the vector angle exceeds a

Re: [Emc-users] Tool offset

I did that and ran into another problem I am not sure how to get around. If the vector angle exceeds a certain value (20 degrees in this case), a head lift and knife rotation is introduced, but X/Y do not move. So I am getting the error "Length of cutter compensation entry move is not greater

Re: [Emc-users] Tool offset

Ok, next problem. The Z is a two position air cylinder, where I use M64 / M65 to lift and lower. That seems to be generating the error "Cannot set auxiliary digital output with cutter radius compensation on". Is there any way around this. Do I have to turn radius compensation off before each
