Gene, Yes the cut is in the X axis, A Z only edm is not worth cnc it has to cut in any direction, circles in any plane. This machine is 4 axis XYZC, and huge.
the cut itself was a .02"x.375"rib cut an inch 'deep', radially into 72 positions of ID of turbine ring. These are heat expansion slots. The slope is the rate and my point was that adaptive control would be a very flat slope (ignoring the process) and even shallower ( slower). the X cut is a bit of misleading, as the program has been rotated to allow the 72 cuts. Each cut displays its progress as an X cut, although there really is a Y component. I chose an example where the X cut was rotated 0 degrees, so the scope showed the joint display ( not axis ) hth tomp On 04/11/2015 11:08 PM, Gene Heskett wrote: > On Saturday 11 April 2015 22:22:51 TJoseph Powderly wrote: >> yes Gene >> this is imagebin >> http://ibin.co/1xzMzQKBwggW >> thx tomp > > Other than the extra magnification, I had to shrink it to less than 50% > to get it all on my screen, it works perfectly.
