got the same problem. But as you said, EMC in machine-tool oriented, so this is normal. I think it would be a great improvement to add a "motion controller oriented" mode, with extended motion control habilities, like setting different acceleration and deceleration values for each move, or part of a move. Would open the door of controlling lots of other thing than machine tools, for exemple pick-and-place machines, gluing machines or any other thing that use positioning system (stack storage robot, etc... ) and need creating moves with changing speeds. I take the exemple of my gluing machine : the gap I have to fill with the glue have a change in size in some places, so I have to lower the speed to achieve filling correctly, when the size increases. I do this with a succession of G1 with different F, but has the change in the size of the gap I have to fill is progressive, if I could also set the accel value when changing speed, it would greatly improve the final result, as the speed could "follow" the gap variation. Hu, I'm not sure his is clear enough. But I'm afraid this is the clearest I can write with my poor english, sorry :/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
