General Mach Discussion / Building a Commercial WJ gantry. Need Motion/controller recomendations

« on: January 06, 2008, 06:05:25 AM »

First off i am building a 2-axis waterjet.

we have a camsoft/galil setup right now with an ICM 2900 breakout board.

I am duplicating this setup and i am tryiing fo figure out if i should go with Mach 3 and if i do what card is the most robust.
Galil/ Gecko etc.

Im powering some servos and would like to hit them with a analog signal.

I also need accell/decel control.] like camsofts "notso"SmartPath.  Its actually not so bad itself.
this functionality allows the moves to adjust within the curved geometry at predetermined math relationship between curve diameter and a pecentage of the normal travel speed specified.

Given the camsoft pricing ii am willing to pay a developer that can help us out with this.  Were not trying to go totally homebrew here.

THanks for the comments.

General Mach Discussion / "SmartPath" or Waterjet Speed ramping based on geometry question??

« on: May 02, 2007, 04:11:54 PM »

It looks like Mach will do this but could someone verify: can Mach 3 do waterjet ramping based on geometry?

Thanks so much,
