I'd guess the likelihood that you can be helped will probably be much greater if you describe the task "a little" more precisely.

I'm trying to follow a crankshaft journal with a thermal spray gun and maintain a 15inch standoff.

So ... it's basically a periodic, uniform movement in one axis (like up and down in Z of the tool frame) that follows a sine curve?!
Edit:
... or do you actually follow the journal of the crankshaft thus it's a circular movement?

If you understand math you could write your own program to trace that profile. Otherwise I know RoboGuide and likely other offline programming software will allow you to import a cad file and generate a normal path from the geometry.
