Hi,

I’m eager to find out if anyone has any ideas on how I can ad a style of weaving to g code.

I want the solution to be as simple as possible, CAM and endless interpolation points would not work well.

Ideally isolating an axis with small oscillating back and forward movements 90 degrees to the linear motion would be what I’m looking for.

Thanks

Fanuc has had this for a long time. Its an option I think. Variously called woodpecker or chopping or high precision oscillation. I think it is intended for jig-grinding type applications.

Fanuc Manual #B-64484EN_04 has quite a bit of info on setting up chopping

Hi,

there is more than one way to achieve this motion with little effort,

the condition is important:
1. is this oscilation linked in any way to the linear axis movement, i.e. keep oscilating untill stopped by a code (like a fan ?),
2. if linked, what are the requierments, conditions, i.e. single oscilation linked to a linear motion.

AND what controller are you using ?
