5-Axis with EMC ?

on 2000-10-17 13:05:39 UTC
Hello Everybody

Thank You Dan , the "EMC in 10 Minutes CD" workes fine , but I have some
questions, perhaps someone can help me.
At the moment I am building my own 5-Axis mill. I would like to use EMC (the
software is great- the most professional I have ever seen affordabel for
privat use) for it , but is EMC able to interpolate 5 Axis simultan ?
somewhere in all those Readme and help-Files I read something about " 3 axis
simultan" But if a hexapod workes , 5 axis should be possible.
Somewhere I read that the Output -frequency for Steppers is limitid to about
5 KHz. Is that wright and is there no possibility to speed it up.?
The software I usually worke with in DINCNC and that goes up to 80KHz on my
computer. Is this limit also for Servo-Motors ?
What have I to do to get the 4th and 5th axis on the screen when I enabled
them in the Sim.ini (EMC.ini) file ? Has somebody a 5-axis-mashine already
working ? Is there software that supports 5 Axis ?
You have to excuse my bad English - school is long ago and now I´m "learning
by doing "
Thank You
Peter
