code structures ...
I have no experiece with CAMs, so i just program as i can
i use parametric structures for simple operations as : rough turning, face milling, drilling, etc ...
however, during testing i compared a simple program, with another filled with formulas ... every formula / calculation means a small delay, thus program will perform slower
calculations are not complex, but easy ... what makes the machine to delay is the number of calculation
so, even if there are "math functions", each one will slow down the machine
is good to have a "read ahead" buffer, because things were worst without it, but even so, i did not expect such delays from the machine
that "read ahead buffer" can not handle "math functions" in "real time" : in other words, the buffer is great for machining, not for formulas
a simple program runs always almost the same, while another filled with formulas may run with ± some seconds
i don't know yet how the machine behaves on G41/G42, or cycles, versus simple code .... kindly !
