Hi Art,

In added file NC program for cutting circle dia 40mm. It has two parts:
- vertically cutting,
- beveling 45 degree.
How do you see using M45 command in this situation?

A,B corners continuously vary during piercing, leadin, leadout, ets...

Is it very hard to add B axis to G00, G01, G02 and G03 command as linear interpolation?

Best regards,
Anatolii.

Anatolli:

Ahh, I see what you mean, if you do a radial corner you'd need the axis in the planner, and your right,
there is no way to do that.  Its part of my design criterion that I stay away from adding a 5th axis, while
Auggie is a 9 axis planner internally, the complexity added as you add axis' increases the work to make it all
go by quite a bit.

  You could use an M45 for example to turn the torch for a square cutout with sharp corners as you can tilt
the torch on its own, but a radial blend will not be possible in the foreseeable future.

  If one needs 5th axis, I recommend Mach3 or 4, Im trying to keep Auggie at a bit of a lower level, more
for hobbiests, most of whom do not yet require a 5th axis in the planner, though Auggie will support 4 axis
above the x,y,z,a , the other four axis cannot be a planned move synced to the first 4.

  Sorry for the limitation, but its a question of limited time and resources, keeping Auggie to 4 axis keeps its
support and problems low. (and keeps me sane...well, as sane as I get..)

Hi Art,

I am very glad that ..."Auggie is a 9 axis planner internally"...!!!
Your Hobbyists don't ask you more than 4 axis, because they don't know - Auggie can  9...

May be if you declare your needs in resources we can help you to find it.

Hi Art,

I usually use dreams as "Rejuvenating pills ". It is a very effective tools.

Dreams? lol, Dreams are my problem, too many of them and too little time.

Hi Air,

sometimes it is a really problem...

Can I move free axis independently in different scripts? In Free Feed To(1,2,3,4); all four axis move simultaneously, or give error in case FreeFeedTo(,,,4);

Best regards,
Anatolii.

Anatoli:

  Yes, use FreeFeedTo(NULL,NULL,NULL,4);


Art

Hi Art,

I have enter one line:
FreeFeedTo(1,NULL,NULL,NULL);
push "run"
-first go1
then change it to
FreeFeedTo(NULL,NULL,NULL,4);
push "run"
-fourth go 4
All ok.

Then I enter four line:
FreeFeedTo(1,NULL,NULL,NULL);
FreeFeedTo(NULL,2,NULL,NULL);
FreeFeedTo(null,null,3,null);
FreeFeedTo(null,null,null,4);
push "run"
They work one after another, not parallel:
-first go 1
-first go 0, second go 2
-second go 0, three go 3
-third go 0, fourth go 4
Is it right?

Best regards,
Anatolii

Anatoli:

Yes, correct. If you wish two to move together, use

FreeFeed( NULL, a, b, NULL ); for example.. generally, whatever is null will be ignored.
