My HAL component used a simple lookup table that mapped spindle angle to X position. The table was generated by SheetCam so I could cut any shape I could draw. It's still on the machine but it has been so long since I last used it I can't remember how it all tied together.
I also have a SheetCam post somewhere for cam grinding. It maps X,Y to X,C. It assumes you have a C axis instead of a free running spindle. SheetCam than takes care of compensating for the wheel diameter. Les On 29/05/2013 13:12, andy pugh wrote: > I have a HAL component that allows me to say how many facets I want on > my polygons.
