Tempest Trajectory Planner / Re: Tempest Planning - Preliminary information and testing
« on: September 22, 2009, 07:42:48 AM »
Hi Art,
I have been away for quite some time but I am about to begin on a new project and I am trying to do some ketch up reading.
I am planning a cnc laser cutter. 100w co2 rf-pumped, yaskawa sigma 5 servos, I am leaning towards smooth-stepper or something else that Brian has on the back burner.
I am planning on flying optics, super rigid really light. But I have been concerned about cv with the laser. I would also like to be able to vary the laser power with velocity. My goal is REALLY smooth motion for a nice cut edge but I would also like to have decent speed.
Down the road I would also like to do raster engraving.
This is planned for sale and It is not just a hobby machine. I Think I am going to start ordering parts next week and begin the proto.
DO you see any advantages with this type of planner with laser?
