TRANSCRIPT

Page 1: Filament Winding Code

I did it in a very primitive manner and just used relative positioning. The machine was set up so that moving 36mm on the Y-axis (the rotation axis) means rotating 360° in reality.

//------------- GCODE -------------G91 (Positioning defined with reference to previous position.)G21 (Programming in millimeters)

F 5000 (Defines feed rate)

(G-CODE for one cycle:)G1 X0 Y0X200 Y144Y37X-200 Y144Y37

(copy an paste the cycle as many times you need it…)

//----------------------------------

I recommend writing a script that generates the code for you. Understanding the winding Pattern was the most difficult part for me. Cover your mandrel with paper and clamp a pen in your machine, this is what I did to test and unterstand patterns and different codes.I hope this helps!
