Gentlemen, From the looks of some of the current kinematics files I will assume two things:
1: the 5 axis tool length compensation is handled outside the kinematics file. 2: the pivot length compensation is handled inside the kinematics file. Unless otherwise advised I will construct my kins with these assumptions. I am compensating for an out of parallel condition between the A and X axes and an out of parallel condition between the B and Y axes and a condition where the center line of the spindle does not project through the A axis and a condition where the center line of the spindle does not project through the B axis and I am adding orthogonal compensation. The algorithm I have now is an inverse kins. I am working on the forward kins. Future readability has been mentioned. The algorithm gets complicated. Would these be better handled as separate calculations? A few gentlemen have a good idea of my coding skill (or lack thereof). I used the term 'skill' with a grain of salt. Possibly a kind soul would lend a hand on the final version. :) thanks Stuart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
