that's pretty awesome. the rapids are great, but you can still see the machine shake a little bit on the long rapids when it starts clearing the corners.
The shaking in this video is from the camera being mounted on the door. In my other videos with the camera mounted on the Microarc you can see the motion is smoother
near the end of the video when the adaptive tool path is repositioning is the machine shaking? asking becaue mine does this on those same repositioning moves using linuxcnc which is the same platform as pathpilot. i recall tormach stating that the new version release with this machine had a new trajectory planner for high speed machining, but it appears they have not yet sorted out the rapid short line segment moves quite yet. i ended up using the stay down least setting so it would reposition in z and make straight line moves to avoid that nasty shake which can't be easy on the wear susceptible motion mechanical components. just thought i would ask and recommend until they get it sorted maybe to try the stay down least setting in fusion (if that is what you are using).
The enclosure shakes with quick direction changes, but the base/table are solid. In this video I had the camera mounted on a small steel strip that holds the door window, but it's not very secure. There are some wall control bins with bolts and parallels on the enclosure right behind the camera that are rattling a bit, too. For a better idea of just the machines motion look at the 4th axis fixture video I uploaded, especially from 1:15 to 2:00. In that video I had the camera mounted on the 4th axis's body.
Thanks for the comment. I recorded this video a few months ago and this was the only shot I had, so for this part the option was 3 1/2 minutes of coolant or nothing. The point was to just put the speeds and feeds with the sound of the machine running. In the boot video I did I got a shot of the finished part.
The closer one had it's glass cracked by a beta tester who had a part come loose, they reported it worked intermittently after that. I just have it in there to expose it to coolant and I'll test it when I have some free time
Around 4 hours. This was a program I inherited though and the surfacing was only 75 ipm. I'd at least double that and it'd probably be between 2 and 3 hours.
It appears that Tormach has stepped up their game significantly. Less of a snail pace, hobby machine into an actual usable machine finally something more than 2 hp.
