Switchable kinematics (switchkins) examples was created by Aciera
I open this thread as a place to showcase the use of switchable kinematics or 'switchkins' and I would like to invite anybody using it to share their application. While I'm aware that this is likely to be used on more unusual machines I still think that this is opens up a lot of possibilities for the future.
Anybody wondering what I'm on about please see the documentation:
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/dgarr/...otion/switchkins.txt
or, if you feel like giving something back to the community, test the current branch and give us your feedback:
forum.linuxcnc.org/38-general-linuxcnc-q...witchable-kinematics
I'll start off with my industrial robot where being able to switch between cartesian and joint kinematics is essential. Without it Linuxcnc is useless for serial manipulators because of limitations in the inverse kinematic :

Here is a simulation of a mill-turn application that I hope to implement on my mill in the future.
While it's possible to create separate configs for milling and turning it is not easily possible to use both inside the same gcode. With switchable kinematics its as easy as inserting an M code.
Please forgive the crudity of the tool visualization in vismach as it is somewhat limited.

Example Gcode used:
This kinematic has been created using the recently added userkins template:
linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man9/userkins.9.html
This template can be used to create switchable and non-switchable kinematics and can be installed like any other component using halcompile.
The kinematic used in the simulation is attached below.

This template can be used to create switchable and non-switchable kinematics and can be installed like any other component using halcompile.

This looks so cool!.
I got a 6.2 metre travel cnc router I would like to turn into a 5 axis machine and glad to see the kinematics is getting some work

Is that a Biesse?

Does is already have a B-axis spindle?

I don't think it has a B axis.
Its a biesse 24xt machine made in 2002
And currently has like 10 spindles I'll strip out.

LinuxCNC supports up to 8 spindles, and it can be increased by a compile-time constant.And currently has like 10 spindles I'll strip out.

I have taken this machine apart now and started to get it all working.
the machine does have a b axis on the spindle not sure what I will use it for but i guess that a saw blade might be good.
i am pretty keen to set up a 4th axis and rotating spindle for 5 axis stuff on this big machine. and switchable kinematics is a must i think. lots of learning to do. hopefully i will get time to set up the machine as a 3 axis machine first in the next couple of weeks and then i can have a play with cooler stuff after that

Is it a motorized b axis or indexed? If it can hold a mill bit you can do all kinds of handy stuff with it.

its motorised
it has a 400w yaskawa servo drive on it to rotate it. what kind of attachments do they normally run?
i am having trouble working out how it was supposed to be used

Also simple things like dowel holes or cutouts into slanted or vertical surfaces. And of course cutting miter joints with a saw blade. Doorlocks, hinges, lots of stuff. With 5 axis TCP and switchable kinematics the uses are very varied.
