Hello to everybody
I use to retofit mill and lathe with linuxcnc , all of them with probe basic.
All of them are working , i do this for hobby.
Now i build a hot wire foam cutting machine , a large one , 3m*1,7*1,7 m ,(for 1,2*1,2 section cutting) 4 independent axis
It is configurated with 7i92+7i76 board (old type both of them , remain from other project ) , including the mechanics , remain from projects , linuxcnc , axis - foam configuration.
On desktop looks like work.
I need an advice , a configuration , an ideea how to manage the wire change of lenght , with a stepper motor , not mechanicaly with spring , pneumatic cylinder , or weight on both sides.
Something like a 5th axis.
I tryed with double y and v axis (vertical axes) , mirror axes like routers , XYYUVV , the mirror axes move and rotate a whell and 'recover' the lenght of the wire , but in my opinion is a better solution , I think with only one motor that can compensate and manage the lenght change.
Thanx in advance
Denis
