TCP 5-axis kinematics

I did first run on Full 5-axis.

Nice!
Where do you get the CAM from?

I work as a CAM expert in company that provides Siemens PLM Products.
My work is to make (mainly coding) post processors and machine tool simulation models. (NC code simulation )

Ah! That's cheating

It does mean that you are probably in a good position to say if LinuxCNC works "properly" in multi-axis mode. I understand that the blending of non-linear is a difficult problem and one not fully addressed even in the new trajectory planner.

Yes. Any motion involving rotary falls back to one segment look a head.

I just got full 5-axis working.
That video was a second attempt on full 5-axis milling.
first attempt was that same roughing in half way.
At the moment I cant comment yet. I need to run whole impeller and finishing path to see results.

One thing I noticed, there was considerable amount of Jerk in movements.
I did set acceleration down to compensate that.
I'm running 1800 mm/s2, on my axis, for 5-axis work 700-900 max.
Only limiting factor is jerk. Whit S-curve acceleration I could go to "close" 1G.


What I can say is that Linuxcnc is maybe the most user friendly control system I have used.
That is my personal opinion.

But it is far from commercial systems, regarding trajectory planner.

What are done better in commercial control systems are kinematic support, 5-axis trajectory planner.
S curve accelerations ect..

5-axis trajectory planner or even 3 axis S-curve acceleration is not easy task to make.

S-curve acceleration / path smoothing would be my no. 1 to be developed in linuxcnc.
So that amount of smoothing and size of S-curve could controlled from G-code.
This way one could run smooth roughing paths and tight finishing paths.

Please do not take this as a fend for Linuxcnc, I like it and I will support it as best as i can,
