New basic article and new tutorials!

Kinematic transformations (1 of 4)

Kinematic transformations are important helpers in the background: They are used to program complex, even non-rectangular machine coordinate systems in rectangular workpiece coordinates as usual and as can be read from drawings. 

 

This new series of articles provides background knowledge on these powerful CNC functions and shows use cases that you probably haven't thought of yet. Read more here ...

 

Three new video tutorials!

Import contour trains from DXF files, Program loop with R variables and Define and read out work offsets via NC program.
