I think you could probably create a kinematics that changed Z as W moved. I am not sure how it would work out, but I am imagining that if, for example the tool was 1" from the work and W was at 6" and you programmed G0 Z3 W5 the effect would be a 1" downward move in the knee and a 1" upward move of Z. (effectively the kins would make Z a "slave" of W) I am not sure how much it would help. -- atp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: Show off your parallel programming skills.
