Another thing complicating CNC on a pattern torch (like this onehttp://www.hellotrade.com/esab-usa/ultra-graph-single-torch-pattern-cutter.html ) is the maximum work envelope the arm can reach isn't a quadrilateral.
As the arm end gets close to the column the range of motion is very restricted and at maximum reach it describes an arc. I figure the best compromise would be to define a quadrilateral that the torch can reach and just go with it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced analytics on semi-structured data.
