Tom, i need to be able to set the pivot to chuck length depending on the spindle we use. I downloaded 4.35b, the G code interpreter dll and kinematics txt from the Forum. I have 4.35b installed in it's own directory and copied over all my relevant setup so still having access to the original 4.34 ve...

Tom, I attach 2 pictures of our re-configured 5 axis head. The spindle centre line is now in line with the C rotation. There is now only 1 pivot length which is A axis centre of rotation to spindle collet = 0 tool length. In the pictures the X linear axis is +ve into the photo towards the cabinets. ...

Tom, Having looked through your recommended 5 axis kinematic arrangement, the Wiki entry and the latest RTCP posts I unfortunately have a few questions : Q1 : are there any pictorial diagrams of 5 axis gimbal CB and 5 axis gimbal ab as I think the differenceiis the position of C0 either around Y or ...

Tom,
Thanks for the reply.
Your pointers to the correct documentation pages helped.
Also reading the KMotionCNC manual page by page explained the versatile functionality.

Tom, I have a few questions regarding KMotion and KMotionCNC. The KFlop and Kanalog are connected to XYZ main axes with an additional AB axes on the end of the Y axis which at present are used in a 3+2 configuration. The machines are used for cutting free form surfaces. I did send a picture in a pre...

Tom,
I have attached a picture of our 3+2 head.
Do you have 5 axis RTCP kinematics that support this configuration or what would be involved in creating ?
Regards,
TIm

Thanks Tom.
I now understand VFF = DAC counts with PID gains all zero.

Tom, We have a linear axis with linear scale position feedback driven by an analogue servo drive and brushless motor with velocity feedback using +/10 volt command input. Our initial setup would be to adjust the amplifier volts/rpm so that 9 volts analogue command input = our desired maximum axis ve...
