General Mach Discussion / Re: Smoothness EXTREME need of help

I tried the motor tuning and the increments got all wacked out.  What are some safe settings that will get me the smoothness i need?

How do I increase the acceleration of my motors?

I tried that and it still doesn't not go as smoothly as I would like it too.

Thanks, but any other suggestions?

Hi all,

My name is Bryson Korsboen and I am a mechanical engineer working for a lighting company called LSGC.  Although i am a design engineer, I have been give the great task of sealing glass onto a fixture via silicone.
We have a standard XY table.  Attached to the XY table we have a syringe that dispenses silicone though means of a pneumatic air gun.

I have written a program for the XY table to follow a simple rectangle with rounded edges to follow the profile of the fixture Using the G-code below and MACH3 software.  In each step, the motors come to complete stop before the next step.  Is there any way for the steps to have no pause in between them.  The clue dispensed is at a fixed amount and at each step the glue piles up.  

Can someone please give me example code, MACH3 settings, or hardware/software that I need to get the machine to run through the entire rectangle without momentarily stopping?  Below is the code I'm using.

Don't hesitate to email.

I need immediate help as this is quite frustrating and I have limited experience writing G-code.

thanks,

Bryson
