Guys, one more related question. What is the name of the rotary axis parallel to X? A?
What is the name of the rotary axis that is the spindle on a milling machine? Or does a spindle not count as a rotary axis? All I want from the encoder on the spindle is to do rigid tapping. I do not want to use the spindle for precise positioning. - Igor On Fri, Sep 3, 2010 at 12:09 PM, Jon Elson <el...@pico-systems.com> wrote: > Stuart Stevenson wrote: >> if each of the axes is perfectly straight you will get a straight line even >> if the axes are not ortogonal. >> >> > Well, that's the difference between a guy who has his head in geometry > all day long, and > me, who does mostly 2-D work.
