General Mach Discussion / Can't MACH3 execute faster??? Please help
« on: September 30, 2013, 01:56:33 PM »
Hi everyone,
I've upgraded my CNC recently with powerfull stepping motors and great drivers, beacause I wanted for my CNC to work 3-5 times faster.
But what big surprise for me today was when I have found out that MACH3 just cannot execute the G-code fast enough.
I have attached the screenshot of my CNC and all the configurations I've made. I'm testing on the relief that has 0.9 inch height and 0/7 inch width (1.8cm*2.4cm) The configurations in MACH3 are astronomic, but still the MACH3 executes the G-code in 1 minute 18 seconds.
I definitely see that my CNC mechanics could still engrave fine, if MACH3 would simply do what is does but +50% faster. But I cannot make MACH3 work faster. So, it would appear that the weakest part, the main constraint of my CNC system would be not spindle, not engraving tools, not mechanics, but software???
I hope I'm missing something and there's the way to multiply MACH3 speed?
