Acceleration problem
« on: March 01, 2007, 05:04:24 AM »
I have got to the stage where I am doing test runs on my almost completed router.

I have set velocity and acceleration to a conservative level on the Z axis.

When jogging at 100% or doing G0 moves on the MDI screen the Z moves very smoothly.

Then when air cutting the Roadrunner, I can hear that the Z is jumping steps as it ends a move.

It is like it moves too quickly and stops too suddenly. Either up move or down.

Should not the velocity and acceleration as set in Motor Tuning be the overriding limit?


I just had a thought  :o  Setting the scale up to 10 may have affected  this ....... would it ???


If that is so then changing the scale at the DRO discards the motor tuning.  Could this be so ???

Are you running in feed override? If so, do you have no FRO on Queue checked in general config? (Far right Middle) Do you have backlash comp. enabled? What version of Mach are you running?

Yes I was running feed rate override.

No back lash comp.

Version R2.0.040

The "FRO on queue"  I can not check now.

It is late and I have come in from the shed before the neighbors complain.  ;D

What should it be set to ?

Hey Greg,
   It is just a box that you put a check mark in. You want to have a check mark in the box.

Not a good one. The FRO means feed rate override. Queue, I don't know. I do know this, it was added in the later versions to fix the problem of Mach trying to run the motors at higer speeds (while in FRO) than set in motor tuning.

Hi All, I have recently joined the forum and find it a great source of info. I just opened a query which resulted in a "Mach 3 now working with vista" display which I can't get rid of. Seems to be some sort of malacious code. Any advise other than a sledge hammer?  I also managed to bring up the pop up that allows you to control jogging etc (by accident.. had a schematic sheet lying on the keyboard and I don't know what was keyed in to do this.) Any suggestions?

Hey les,
    The tab key should get rid of the MPG screen. I don't know about the other yet.

Hi Brett, I got rid of it by selecting  the main Mach3 sceen but I'm still stuck in single step mode(which was what I was looking for in the first place). Will a tab bring MPG up again? many thanks
