Hi Curtis, There are a few major hurdles to doing rotary axis blending: 1. Blends between circular motions (that also have motion in other axes) are not geometrically possible with the blending technique we use (circular arc segments), except for some special cases. This IS possible

I don't mind doing the G93 calculations. The problem for me is no lookahead when using x,y,z,a Does anyone know why n-axis lookahead isn't easy to accomplish with the new TP? (I'm sure its complicated ! :-) On Thu, Mar 14, 2019 at 12:47 PM Gene Heskett wrote: > On Thursday 14 March 2019

That does not help the trajectory planner lookahead problem. It just tries to correct the feed rates for each movement segment. Les https://www.ganotechnologies.com/cnc/rapidrotary/ ___ Emc-developers mailing list
