Try adding an actual \n at the end of each line

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Tormach moved from Mach 3 to Mach 4 - Feedrates 2X what is requested

Hi,
may I suggest measuring the elapsed time for a  linear move and compare with what you expected.

One possiblilty is that Mach4 is going to fast or another is that Mach3 had been going to slow. Accurate measurement
will be the only way to sort out which.

Craig

You were exactly right! Mach 3 was going slow. My Mach 4 setup is dead on. I measured several feeds/distances and all were 100% on.

Thanks Russ for the link to warp9 .

Looks like the Ethernet version is Mach 4 only and supports backlash.

Craig thanks for the info! Will check out Hicon and ESS

Lots to research here!

ESS works on Mach 3 and 4. I ran it on 3 with no problems...

Hi,
have you actually measured/timed it so you know exactly what speed its doing?

Craig

Not yet. I will debug the problem this weekend.

Unfortunately not that simple, though I wish it were.... But FRO 50% fixes it

Mach4 General Discussion / Tormach moved from Mach 3 to Mach 4 - Feedrates 2X what is requested

Hello,

I recently moved my Tormach 1100 from Mach3 to Mach4 and my feedrates are 2X what is commanded (i.e. F20 shows as 40 on the screen), and one snapped endmill later while watching my program haul hiney I believe what the DRO is showing.

Running Mach4 Hobby and ESS combination.

I was very careful to copy the settings from my Mach3 profile and I don't see anything obvious.

I have not looked too deeply at this yet, but I figure I'm not the first to see this.

Any advice where to look first?

In the meantime, I just halved my rates in my CAM setup...


Thanks,
Danny Brija
