Mach4 General Discussion / Jerk ,S curve

« on: September 22, 2021, 06:34:54 PM »

hello every one
i use mach 4 for about 3 years more then 20 cnc
i always had acceleration problems ,but i always blame the chines structure
until we open our work shop and start produce our cnc ,but ...same problem cant get normal value for the acceleration without having vibration
 today we found the at least the reason
mach don't support S curve
i know this the reason because when we use the driver filter(its act similar as S curve)this vibration go even with high level of acceleration
after this long story i ask mach engineer ,please try put attention for this
its very very important(solve it by the driver its not correct way)please try solve this point
thanks
