[Emc-users] Knurling with a threading tool using spindle coordinated motion (G33) on EMCOTurn 120P CNC lathe

2015-09-11 Thread Tom Easterday
Here is a video of our G33 knurling routine running. Pretty cool. I’m sure we aren’t the first to do this, but since I haven’t seen it before I will pretend like it :-) BTW, this knurl is only about 5 thou deep, deeper ones will follow. https://youtu.be/zdCQ0X7b2uo Here is the code: G8 G53

Thanks for all the responses. I now know what the source of the vibration I hear during a G33 can be attributed to. First a correction. I said something yesterday that was incorrect and misleading. The oscillation I was seeing in the velocity waveform (also in the DDT of the position informat

Do you mean a shaft at one end of the table, a shaft at the other end of the table with a timing belt around a pulley on each of the shafts. Then yes, that is very much like a rack and pinion. I've used that setup to mimic a belt drive in the Cooperhill software. The efficiency of a belt is v
