Elliptical toolpath instead of circle


Raghav

Recommended Posts

Dear All,

I'm facing a major problem in my Turbo PMAC system in which while using G02/03 command elliptical toolpath is achieved instead of circular. I tried to find the cause of the problem but in vain. Can anyone let me know what could be wrong for this error to occur.

 

Thanks.

Raghav,

 

Please check the following as all of these can cause a circular path to turn into an elliptical path:

- make sure the normal you are defining matches the plane your tool is expected to move in a circular path.

- make sure you don't have any unknown rotation transformation happening.

- make sure your scale factors for axis definitions are correct.

The problem is resolved now. Since one of the encoder we had was faulty we changed it and never checked for the resolution of it. Since there was a difference in the resolution, the motion weren't synchronized.

 

Thanks.
