Fascinating. The FINE vs CNT makes a lot sense as a method to define parameters. To oppose it to a machining center it appears to be the equivalent to "Finish" specs. The machine can cut fast with both the cutter and table speed but not take much metal or it can hog metal but cutter and table speeds have to be slower. The thing is there is a lot more to consider than just feed and speed. The operator has the ability to allow the machine to determine efficiencies or the operator can choose their own parameters. The reasons for the parameters may be different between a robot and machining center but the use is about the same.
J and L are logical too. L seems like it is pretty much distance and J is direction or compound directions. If numerical control is now using calculus J and L would define the area under, over the curve or an area bound by curves for the differential calculus function of y = f(x). With my limited experience with CNC machines and at that time the technology for angles, curves and spheres was "step" technology, primarily with the sine function for arcs. Step meaning a small movement of the cutter in every X for every Y and for every Z if required. Nothing with angles or arcs was a straight line. Of course the steps were small enough that you couldn't notice them with your eyes. Magnifications was needed to see the steps. It also effected the machine cost. A machine that broke an inch down to 1,000 x 1,000 steps cost a heck of a lot less than a machine that broke an inch down to 10,000 x 10,000 steps or more.
Precision on machining centers was in percentages also. Never knew why though? I'm sure there is a good reason for it.
I have to tell you White, I envy you taking the class. Would have loved to be there also.
MGrip looks like it uses air to actuate the fingers on its effector. Another new word for oldtimers to do its thing on.
So is this the proper range of motion for the blend door? The main arm moves with almost every notch but the final arm barely moves. Im not sure if I have the full range of motion. It seems like a lot of the clicks do nothing in relation to the final blend door arm.... is this a placebo built in with the ac/heat (ie you get all these notches in your controls but they dont actually change that much) or is something broken/stripped/not working properly?

Looks to me like "cam" motion is worn to the point that it's not moving the linkage. Can you disconnect the linkage anywhere and operate by had to see if more movement is available? Under the dash stuff is iffy. Hands and orientation often limit the ability to do anything up there.

yeah i need to see if i can find a video showing what i can disconnect. With it being cold and old plastic, i dont want to start yanking on pieces and something snap lol. I will see what i can find

Can you post a picture of you heater\AC control unit? Also, is this part you're moving cable, vacuum or electrically controlled\actuated? Are the vent only controls separate from the AC\heat controls or are they integrated? The manual have a lot of different AC\heat control systems.
BTW, I'm assuming this is about the Highboy because you posted here? Right?
So i just popped off the arm where it meats the blend door. Rotated the blend door by hand and noticed i wasnt getting full range of motion.... when i hooked it back up... sadly its the ac side that isnt fully opening. SO when set to full heat the ac is completely blocked off but when set to full ac, the heater isnt fully blocked. Hasnt been an issue i guess cz the wife hasnt had heat for a while lol.
River, the part I am moving is cable actuated. That box you see in the video (with a yellow dot on it; those cables run back to the control **** and the white cylinder rotates the connecting linkages. Heres a pic of my dash (not my actual dash, just a pic off the internet but its what my dash looks like) also heres how "warm" the full heat is
The left hose (lower) is scolding hot the right hose (upper) is meh warm; its not cold but its not hot either.
