Coordinated movement of linear axis (Z) with rotational axis (A) for threadmilling?
I have been threadmilling external threads using a helix around the Z axis.
My problem is that my old Tree325 mill is has about 0.002" of backlash in the X axis and my threads are not circular.
I have added an A axis to my bed that rotates around the Z axis.
Using my new setup, how can I create G-code in MadCAM that creates threadmilled external threads using a coordinated movement of Z-axis and A-axis which will result in rounder threads?
By coordinated movement, I mean that A-axis movement would be slaved to Z-axis movement such that if I raise Z by 0.050" then A-axis would have rotated 360 degrees smoothly (linearly).
