So your machine can access any point along a specific diameter cylinder? I'm curious about what the machine does. But the kinematics could be literally trivial. How to do this depends on what you want your g-code to look like. You can always write the g-code using native machine coordinates

hi Nicklas: I think you keep the X as linear and do a Cartesian to polar conversion for the Y. This is sometimes done to get a really stiff Y axis. Years ago I saw a utube of a shop doing one with a decently large rotary table; as in 18" or more. Dave On 2/22/20 12:50 AM, Nicklas Karlsson

Did not find list of kinematics module but. Do not think this kind of kinematics module exist, scara however come close and so could be a good starting point. > > No attached drawing. > > Trying to attach smaller version of drawing: > > > > If it doesn’t work, see here: >

I am working on a design for a small custom 2-axis machine with 2 joints. Joint 0 is linear and oriented in the Y direction. Joint 1 is rotary and mounted on Y. See attached drawing. My question is, would I be best off creating a new kinematics module for this machine, or can I simply reuse
