Aram,
EMC IS capable of 5 axis dynamic compensation.
EMC IS capable of probing the part and adjusting the program to
the part on the machine table - in the 5 axis world - in the many axis
world.
EMC IS capable of processing the part program through the CAD/CAM
system to utilize the tool geometry from the tool table. Five minutes
ago I visited with a man here about this very subject. He said we
could send a command to our Windows based CAD/CAM system, batch
process and post process the file, return the gcode file to the EMC
control. All this from the file load screen inside EMC. We will try to
get this working this week. My experience with him is - if he says it
is possible - he will do it.
Having some fun now.
thanks
Stuart
