Mach4 Lathe - Turn Cycles
开云体育Hi Brian, ? I just found this quite old mail about a new LUA roughing routine for Mach4 Lathe… ? Von: [email protected] <[email protected]>
Im Auftrag von Brian Barker ? I think we can now send attachments ... I did a new roughing bit of code for turn in LUA! I just got it to work on my test profile. This is going to be as good as Cam software. ______________________________ ? Brian Barker ? Webpage: On 9/10/2020 4:43 PM, Andy Wander wrote:

开云体育Funny I was playing with that code 2 days ago for fun... My goal
is go get back on it as soon as I finish the engraving software
update we are doing. I try to do little pet projects like this for
some fun night time programming :)
I can give you the code as it is but it needs an interface to
feed in the "profile"

开云体育Hi Konrad, My current plan is to get this working after a few other projects I am working on. I want to make something like the Mach Motion cycles but with a much better "part" designer. I want this for my machine so everyone else will get it too. The interface is not to bad, here is how you feed moves to the profile:
local profile = {};
That code makes an Arc than it makes a line.. My test had many more entities. Then when that is finished you can fillet the corners with commands like this : ??? profile = ProFilletCorner(profile,7,.5) The 6 and 7 are the entities that it would like to fillet the end of in the profile
Then you have to run some magic like this: roughGcode = roughGcode .. ProfileRoughX(profile, .05, .01, -.12)--rough That tells it to rough the profile with .05 left in the X, .01 in the Z and doing passes of .12 DOC. For a finish pass
??? roughGcode = roughGcode .. "(Finish Pass)\n".. ProfileFinish(profile,.030, .003)--semi finish, this will be taken out at some point That is all you need to do to make it work at this point but I
really want to have some way to pump the settings in graphically
on the screen. I made this for a customer that had to make the
same-ish parts. I wanted to make a more generic? solution and in
the end figured out that I made a full roughing cycle for turn.
I hope that gives you a little light into what it is and how it
works for an interface. It is a bit raw :( but I think with a
little work we can make this into something that is a ton of fun
to use on the machines! ______________________________ Brian Barker Webpage: On 12/7/2021 4:29 AM, Konrad Krüger
