Slow motion and harsh noise
« on: May 23, 2011, 04:35:51 PM »
Hi to all,
I need some help with setting up my mach3 configuration. I read almost every post that I could find on the internet but still can figure it out what's going on. The problem is that when I jog the machine it moves smooth and fast but when I load g code for profiling the motion slows down and motors makes a lot of harsh noise. I tried different motor tuning configuration and also many other settings but no lack at all. Some specifications of my setup:

PC:
Processor: Pentium 4  - 3.2Ghz
Ram memory: 2 Gb DDR2

Cnc
Controller:  Tb6560 board
X axis: Nema 34 step motor, 8 micro steps, 16mm screw, pitch 10 mm
Y axis: Nema 23 step motor, 8 micro steps, 16mm screw, pitch 10 mm
Z axis: Nema 23 step motor, 8 micro steps, 16mm screw, pitch 5 mm

Here is the link to short video where you can see and hear what's going on with the machine when jog and when start working on the profile cut.

I also made screen shots of my mach3 configuration.

Thanks

XML looks fine, can you try a test by using the circular pocket wizard to see how that runs. Also try the Roadrunner and see how that runs.

I did that already, and works great. I don't understand this  ???

I'm sorry, circle pocket works fine, but the Roadrunner is very slow and also a lot of noise. Another thing is that when I run the Roadrunner the router almost doesn't move but the motion on the screen move fast.

It looks like the small moves are causing your problem. Circle test was to see if it was fine with multi axis moves, looked fine in jogging but was just checking. Roadrunner and your code are made up of loads of small lines so thats why I wondered if roadrunner acted the same as your code.

Try dropping your acceleration by half and see if that helps any, can always increase later if it does.

Doesn't help. Makes it even worst when I jog. Makes the motors stalling.

Try changing the Step to Active low on Ports and Pins, Motor Setup, it may be your drives need it that way.

Also maybe worth trying Sherline mode but for that you would have to drop your Velocity and set kernel to 25KHz.

Does the driver test look ok?

I changed the step to active low and the jog become very jerky and slow. I lower the velocity and acceleration but didn't helped much. Sherline mode makes router slower but no improvement on running g-code.
