Can PMAC execute multi axis paths?
Using simple point specified programming; PMAC can describe any move through n-space of up to nine axes using combinations or six simple motion modes. PMAC’s Linear, and Circular blended moves are the fundamental modes of point-to-point interpolated motion. Vector speed and segment acceleration/deceleration is specified in the program. Circular moves allow for other conics such as elliptical interpolation generated from any plane normal orientation. Combinations of linear and circular can generate helical interpolation. Also a Rapid mode is provided that will not blend into other move modes. This is part of PMAC’s G-code capability. PMAC’s Position-Velocity-Time move mode provides for any generalized contouring programmed as a specified position at a specified velocity and time. PMAC also supports Spline modes Spline1, uniform non-rational spline and Spline2, non-uniform non-rational spline.
