LOL..... I imagine with part due dates and what not, that brick wall just may come up pretty quick! Longhand will get the job done, no doubt.
The absolute code for Polar works as I did run it in my machines. For Steve, I think it's a matter of getting 1032 and 1033 set up right... I'll look at that more later or post a tweaked loop program....
The I code posted was for one lug only. I can supply code for all the lugs.
My suggested method is for segment moves (using B axis and Z travel) around the lugs and the B axis to rotate between the lugs.
If you hit the brick wall and need use the point code, the single lug code can have a variable added to the B angle so the program would be about 70 line all up.
Hell Kiwi... Don't hold out! Throw it up here! The input is well worth considering I'm sure.
Speaking of a long thread………let’s keep this going and maybe we can outpost Psycho’s thread on MT porn in the PM forum (still following it).
Psycho……I am actually really surprised that Fritz has not chimed in once or twice hey!!
ROFLMAO!!! Isn't that a riot!?!? That thread has over 40,000 hits.... it's like damn YouTube vid or something. I am surprised it still pulls many posts to this day considering I started that one back in August of '08! 3 years and still running.....
Of course, what am I talking about... I'm still dickin' around with those things 3 years later (chair) ... and more fun to come still!
I honestly believe though, we're damn close and I think it's locked into your parameters. I think Bill will be of great help here since I can't find the right machine parameters for you from my old FANUC machines I used to have. Again, I'll mow over the book and see if a light bulb comes on...
It's just a part..... cutter still goes round and round....
