When programming an XY positioning system, sometimes it may be necessary to maintain a 3rd axis in alignment with the current vector direction of the motion. This can be achieved by using the TANG_DIRECTION command to determine the current vector direction and then using the return value in the MOVETANG command to align the 3rd axis to the vector. Applications include tangential knife cutting and measuring stylus control. More...
Have you ever wanted to set an output ON or OFF for a fixed period of time without holding up program execution to achieve this?
