G-Code, CAD, and CAM discussions / Minimum Feed rate in Mach3?
« on: May 16, 2013, 09:57:34 AM »
Hello,
i have a micro stage with each axis run by a NEMA 08 stepper motor.
I currently use the Pololu boards with a CNC4PC breakout board to control the movement through Mach3.
For the application that i use, i would need the axis to move at a very low feed rate; something like 5microns per second or 0.3 mm/min and lower.
I had some problems with my experiments and i was wondering if the axes were moving faster than they say they are moving?
It is very important that the axes move at a speed lesser or equal to 0.3 mm/min.
Currently i was giving the feed and the axis movement in the MDI screen itself.
It moves very slowly but i am not sure what the capability of the software is?
Please let me know if it can be run at very low feed rates.
