still fighting with my supertech mill. the .CAM file it creates, has
some odd code in it...I understand every line of the file except
one. Here's an excerpt:
line -3,0.15,3,0.15
line 3,0.1,-3,0.1
line -3,0.05,3,0.05
line 3,1.259e-006,-3,1.259e-006
line -3,-0.05,3,-0.05
line 3,-0.1,-3,-0.1
line -3,-0.15,3,-0.15
line 3,-0.2,-3,-0.2
when it gets to the line with the "e-006" part, it indexes the
spindkle to the retract height, resets the x-axis to whatever value
it would have been at the end of that cut, and carries on...with the
x-axis now out of calibration by whatever amount is the difference
between where it was at when it happened and where it would have been
at the end of the cut.
I don't even know what "e-006" IS...but at least now I know what's
happening. I'm going to manually edit the file to remove those
glitches and do a 'dry run' with no tool and see whre it finishes
up...
