yes you can you use the spindle control outputs

OK can you post the gcode you used ?

That is NOT what your picture shows .The one with the red arrows. It shows the tool turns the corner (with no rounding as it should)  first THEN shifts outward. Then goes to the next corner and repeats the same motion in the opposite axis.

OOPS Sorry that was not your picture (;-)

General Mach Discussion / Re: UC 100 setting probe on mach3

« on: June 08, 2015, 06:18:35 PM »

OK the UC100 is a straight USB controller (nothing to do with the LPT port).  You should have pins on the UC100 that you hook the probe to. The UC100 then translates those pins back to Mach3. You would then need to set the pins in Mach3 that MATCH what the UC100 expects for the probe.

IF the UC100 even supports a probe. The info SHOULD be in the UC100 setup manual.

Just a thought, (;-) TP

  I see you are building your OWN user manual now.

It is odd that it happens AFTER each corner and at teh same point in the  next LINE,  and it is happening in both axis.  That looks mechanic and looks like  flex OR axis shift(slipping coupler, belt stretch) in both axis.  The main indicator is it gets worse with higher speeds . That is when cutting forces grow higher.

Try the sequence in Exact stop mode (G61)  OR reverse the direction of the cutting and see IF the shape of the problem changes.

Does the toolpath LOOK correct in Mach3 ?

I am not sure WHAT you are doing but code like that will bring the macropump down to a crawl and be VERY unpredictable.

Can you tell WHICH is the correct cut as just after the turn or after it moves over a step.

SO the FASTER it runs the worse it gets ?

Stepper or servo system ?

Are your velocity and accelleration settings the SAME for both axis's ?

Have you set ANY CV settings ?

Try running the program in exact stop mode.
