General Mach Discussion / Re: Weird rotary axis issue???????????????

I have just done some testing I can get it to work using radius and it's fine the forum is not letting me post the files with a pick of general config and toolpath page and the code I have to Zip them and try again.

I found a problem with a setting I had to dig out my notes and found a setting that needs changed for it to work it's in the picks

I will have to double check, but I had it set the same and by god it was slow, I slowly speed it up to it was at a speed that just worked. I am not sure how it works but the movement speed look the same.

I will have a look on Monday and get the RPM, and what speed it shows in the DRO, I might try pushing it higher and see if that crashing problem will happen

you can use the ESS as a pass through and let the bob do it's job, it's just getting the mapping correct if you post your config .ini it would help

steps per 2.22,  velocity 25002, Acc 5025 and use radius for feed rate, it look high but it does not go to fast it's about right when doing constant rotational work. I will have to have a look at what speed is shown when it's moving.

you need to have the speeds between A and the other Axis set so they move at the same speed, this means the A Axis has to go faster than X, Y or Z, but when in practice if you set the A axis at the same speed the A will be slower you just need to bring up the speed of the A axis so it looks correct on my machine it's 1250 mm/min for X, Y and Z and A is 2200 mm/min and it runs very well it was a lot of slow cutting to get it correct it's just play to it looks good.

but if you get the A axis going to fast it will make thing go wrong fast there is a fine line between bonkers and all good
