Title: Maximum number of axis interpolated
Post by: foghy on June 25, 2010, 02:47:01 PM
Hello
I would like a clarification on the maximum number of axis interpolated by Mach3.
I want to use Mach3 for a 5-axis trunnion machine and see if I can handle this type application without problems.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks to all

6 axis "GCODE interpolated"  BUT  mach does not have axis kinematics  so you have to do all the moves through Gcode. You cannot Jog the axis's and HAVE the control point of the tool hold position as it jogs.

It is not like EMC2
