JeffLowe Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Is there a way to return the current CS axis position to a plc or motion program for the purpose of executing a PSET? During program execution it is necessary to increment a cutter position. Previously we would pause the motion program, Manually increment the stage position, read the current motor position, minus any compensation or bias, and use that value for PSet. The operator could then either continue running, or begin the program and restart. With kinematics running, the actual position no longer represents the axis position since it is virtualized through the kinematics. Can Cread be used for this, and does it take cutter radius compensation and encoder comp tables into account? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
