The controller software i am thinking of using is Mach 3 , but will be programing
in Mastercam.
The machine will only have an X axis and the punch will be set fixed at the right position along the y axis and will not need to move. The material will move along the x axis to the correct position, then i would like to activate the punch from the program.
So basically the program will consist of G0 X axis moves to each hole position, then the macro to activate the punch at each hole position.
I hope this makes it a bit clearer.
Thanks again |
