Title: tangential to track in lazy cam 2.02v
Post by: harus[Poland] on August 08, 2007, 01:48:24 PM

Hi I,m new in cam programs and I need help. I need generate tangential vectors to X and Y track, example from g-kode:

M6T1
G0 Z5.0000
G0 X-3.5413 Y-3.0846
G1 Z-1.0000 F100.0000
F9.0000
G1 X-3.5177 Y-2.8878
G1 X-3.5000 Y-2.6929
G1 X-3.4862 Y-2.5000
M30

I need get :

M6T1
G0 Z5.0000
G0 X-3.5413 Y-3.0846
G1 Z-1.0000 F100.0000
F9.0000
G1 X-3.5177 Y-2.8878 A0.7528
G1 X-3.5000 Y-2.6929 A0.7500
G1 X-3.4862 Y-2.5000 A0.7450
M30

it is possible???

I could add it if you like but I think it will only work with line segments

Would that help?

Also you could do it in Mach3 if you like

Thanks
Brian

Hi Brian if You could do it (add to lazy cam), it will be grateful, because I need exactly working witch 3D not in 2,5 D like is in mach3(tangential controll). But now i haven't yet full version lazy cam that is why I'm politely asking You it is possible?  Now I'm testing my new machine and new lazy cam. Thank You

3D???? Can you tell me a bit more about what you are thinking?


thanks
Brian

OK, I need generate third A axis ( tangential to x and y axis = vector pair x1 y1 and x2 y2 ) and it must working at this same time in g01 code ( 3 axis ). Maschine for cuting (it cut moulding from polystyrene foam) use hot thick wire (length of wire is 400mm maximum) and every  machine stoppage (when x and y axis witch tangential controll in mach are on)  to bring deform material, that is why i need generating tangential in g code not in mach, or add this possibility to mach3 ( like e.g.live tangential control)  thank you Arek.

I will have a quick look and see if I can get the data to calc the angle...

Thanks if You wont i have not exactly finished calculator to tangentials vectors but I think You are much more  experience in programming, if You could do it in mach3 or lazy cam please write the post here, thanks Arek.

I have added your Tangential code to Lcam.. I should have it ready for testing in a few weeks

Thanks
Brian

Hi Brian could You give me match code from mach3 to creating tangential to the track? My math code isn't complite, it doesn't  recognize exactly tool direction. thanks, I add next program version ( this program convert some g code's creating by mach, at now it is working only on  integral numbers ex: x123y2345)

I can't do VB  :(

But I think I have all the code we need for the Tangential in Lcam at this time... I just need the time to make you a post and test :( What is your time line?

Thanks
Brian

I to could really benefit from this A axis tangential code feature incorporated into lazy cam.

Please let me know if your close to release.

Thanks
Jason

Hey Brian,

How did you go with the tangential A axis coding within Lazzy Cam??

Hi All at the begin I wont say THANK YOU Mr Brian, Your advices was very valuable.
Program to generating tangential  A axis is finisched (I think:))
This program can creating tangential A axis in *.tap  files ( the tap files must be creating from hphl files ( like corel))
the number in hpgl files must be integral ( like pixels)

the way to creating final file: corel(hpgl)-->mach3(tap)-->my program(out*.tap)-->mach3

Thanks one more time      Arek
