Following Jeremy's example in "Robot Wood Milling - Remote TCP - Alphacam & RoboDK"
I have set up a test simulation of a robot holding the work piece and moving against a stationary tool. Just a simple vase and a spindle on the floor.
The robot seems to make a lot of "funnny" moves with the wrist constantly flipping back and forth but that's the lease of my worries. If you look at line 183469 as the simulation is running toward the end of the vase the robot makes a move that drags the cutter right through the middle of the vase. Equals one ruined part.
The path was generated in MasterCam. It is a four axis "Flow" type path with a zig-zag pattern (spiral pattern failed as the 6th axis can only rotate +/- 360). I tried doing what I use on my CNC mill and increased the "clearance, retract and feed plane" but only the initial approach changed in RDK.
Am sure it's just a button or value somewhere
Thank you
