Does anyone know if Mach3, a Gail Optima 1840 w/ pci bus using Galil V7 drivers, and Windows 7 64bit Home Premium play nicely together?
Thanks in advance for any insight.

G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / GCode Velocity / Z axis Direction Dependent values

« on: June 17, 2010, 10:29:10 AM »

I'm designing a laser system for a customer and one of the functions required is to vary the velocity and z axis depending upon the direction  of cut.....+X, -X, +Y, -Y, angles and rads.
To take it one step further, these variables may need to be changed during the cutting process.  Additionally, I will have a "database" of many different materials that will be cut and these materials will require completely different sets values.
Does anyone have any idea of the best way to implement this function, if possible?  Will Mach3 understand the different G-code commands that are required?
Thanks for any help.
