Chamfer rail generator lacks axis sandwhich output #10

Open JensDyvik opened 6 years ago

JensDyvik commented 6 years ago

A critical part of the axis is the combine three layers of sheet material We call this the axis sandwhich. The first layer is the actual chamfer rail with chamfer and rack geomtry. the socond lyer acts a s a spacer plate to give space to the glideblocks. the third layer protects the glideblocks and provides mounting geoemetry for acutator or machine frame.

it would be great if the axis generator would make the second and third layer too. see the hattori machine folder for an example of how we have manually modelled the axis sandwhich so far
