Hi all,
I have a question, does mach3 support the possibility to determine the edges of the workpiece so it can itself determine the X direction and the Y direction to work on rather than the machines X and Y fixed directions.
I have seen other machines who will touch an edge of a workpiece on 2 different points like 50 cm apart and thus the machine knows that this is the X axis and than they touch the other side of the workpiece on 2 different locations and thus that is set as the Y direction.
Than they load in the Gcode and the machine does it job taking into account that the workpiece is not 100% parrallel with the X and Y direction of the machine.
This means you can put a plate not parallel to X and Y on the table and still get the machine to work as if it was perfectly parrallel.
I think it should be able as this is like a problem everybody would face, so i hope this has a simple answer to it and i really hope mach3 is able to do this.
THanks for any help,
Stephane
