Hello, my name is tom stefanou, i have a 3 axis cnc machine.
i would like to ask a few things...
1) How can i instruct the post processor or somehow else switch to Constant Velocity when it draws a circle and to exact stop when it draws a rectangle?
2) The cnc machine has a router and a a cutting disc. The disc can operate in 2 directions. along X and along Y. How can i calculate and implement in the post processor the offsets required for the cutting to be correct and accurate?
3) I want to enable the router through a Start button on the main console. In case the router is not enabled i don't want to allow the user to start the code execution and also warn the user. Is there a way and if yes, how ?
4) I want to have a button that will find home position of all axes. first of Z then of X,Y. The point is that i want Z init to complete and then to start X,Y homing. I found the Command G28.1 Z1 and then G28.1 X1 Y1 but i want to insert a delay between them. How could i do that?.
5) I would like to make use of the tool changing functions using the atc post, the tools have fixed positions. i don't know how to do that at all.
Thank you all in advance for your help.
P.S Sorry for my bad english!.
