Hi
I'm currently designing a cnc plasma cutter for cutting and profiling pipe.
This cnc will essentially be a 2-axis machine (y and a-axes) with torch height control via a linear drive in the z-axis.
The A-xis will be chuck driven, and as a result, pipe surface speed will change with pipe diameter.
I found a wrapper function for control speeds on the a-axis, but was just wondering if anything had been specifically written for a 2 axis plasma pipe cutter.
I'm pretty new to the programming side of things, I have a pretty good idea of how to go about the mechanical side, but am hoping to learn more about the software side
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Regards
Ben Jansen
