Anders, My cnc experience was primarily with WEDM ( i discount the larger time spent in sink edm as it's pretty much point and shoot not contouring ) but we were always constrained to a 'tangential contour' ,meaning each path element could not be blended. ( it could have geometry truncated by linuxcnc , where a larger radius might circumvent a smaller one to maintain velocity )
A line continuing into an arc was necessarily tangential ( so sayeth the manufacturer AGie ) I believe the manufacturer wanted tangency for the xyuv style radii, and that velocity was not a problem. 1) do 'tangential' contours like this get blended anyway? 2) would contours like this benefit from the effort? ( I'd guess CADCAM could increase velocity by removing detail, and CADCAM could isolate slow parts of the cuts ) thanks TomP ps: I dont have access to such papers, maybe you could let me see it, thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
