General Mach Discussion / motor tuning
« on: November 06, 2006, 04:29:31 PM »
Hi All,
I'm new to this so please bear with me.....I have tuned my motor using the steps per setting and am able to get consistant measurement for the value I used for tuning the motors, i.e. 4inches, but any other distance will be slightly off. whats going on, how do I find out if I'm losing steps, what is the screw mapping function and where is it explained in the manual, is screw mapping standard procedure for "tuning motors?
-Here is what i'm using to set up my mill;
circular "pocket" designed in software
ID 4.015
OD 4.287
after milling I get
ID 4.018+/-0.007
OD 4.330+/-0.007
these numbers are pretty consistant if I run multiple parts
I think the ID is set perfect but the OD is off, I guess my question is what other setting need to be made to get the correct distance value for any distance.
any help understanding what I need to do will be appreciated.
thx, eric
