LazyCam (Beta) / LazyCAM Plasma Different Feed per Layer - Is it Possible?

« on: February 06, 2012, 10:52:09 AM »

Hi,

It does work in Mill mode, but doesn't seem to in Plasma. Is there a way to do this in Plasma?

Thanks,
Dan

Yep, Hood, it's only a good thing or at least as long as you won't have to reduce acceleration.

If you had Input #1 controlling something else which you wouldn't expect to get triggered while using the plugin it could get not pleasant.

Funny thing is, I had been using the plugin via Output1 active low.

That's funny indeed, Greg Looks like a serious bug though.

It's getting heavy so moving it around the shop is getting a serious task

Brian has just found the problem. It has to do with the latest fix to softlimits he did. You will see normal preview unless your work coordinates are zeroed way off the machine zero. Preview seems to follow machine zero.

Hopefully will get fixed soon .

Hood,

Thought you wanted to do away with the two turret setup?

I am wondering if I could fit this disc to that turret  temporarily  until I get the new one made, will measure tomorrow and see. Reprogramming the PLC and the indexing drive would not be an issue but whether it will be worth it I am not sure.

Why might it not work for you? I mean if all fits, why would it be temporary?

Phone is just a cheapo but suppose even the cheap ones nowadays have half decent cameras, think though the second pic was more to do with the light under the head of the mill making it look a bit fuzzy.

My apologies then

Hood,

Are you using the Beaver's servo spindle for tapping the holes?

By the way, you've got a good phone, but looks like your shaky hand spoiled the second picture
