[Emc-users] independent motion of axes

2010-04-02 Thread Klemen Dovrtel
Hello everybody, Is there a way to move axes independently using G code? For instance i want to move G0 X200 Y300 and at the same time G1 U30 F100 and G1 V20 F50. This probably won't work: N100 G0 X200 Y300 G1 U30 F100 G1 V20 F50 Regards Klemen

The one line program you show will not work. That motion can be achieved but the program would probably be a very long program. A CAM system can output the code to move the axes in the manner you wish depending on each slide configuration and the actual requirements you have. With the limited

How about programming the move using inverse time mode (G93) ? Regards, Alex - Original Message - From: Stuart Stevenson stus...@gmail.com To: Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Friday, April 02, 2010 3:29 PM Subject: Re: [Emc-users] independent

I went through this exercise not too long ago. Short answer is that there is no way to do it in gcode that I could find. However I did find some tricks to get around the problem, none of them really satisfactory though. This is to control an axis independently without adding more computers.
