General Mach Discussion / Re: Generating g-code for 4th axis using Unigraphics 3.0
« on: October 19, 2006, 08:44:01 PM »
Heres how you know if you have 4axis simultaneous interpolation controller.
Zero your mill and make sure that you have the room to run this code without
carshing your mill. I dont know the size of your mill or if you are working in inches or mm.
You can change the distance and feed values to suit your needs and to be safe.
Anyway if this code moves all 4 axis in unison then your good to go. When you do impellor
parts you'll find that undercuts quickly become a problem and really to deal with this a 5axis
mill is necessary, but with some work arounds and designing within the limits of the machine in mind you can produce
impellors with 4th axis.
