Hi,

I have made a pocket size 60x40 mm and 2mm deep and it is cutting 0.5mm at a time.

But when it's done the right side off the pocket is not like it should be...

I'm using Cut2D
Look at the images....

Thanks!

   To me it looks like you are losing steps in the X axis (as the pic is posed). Is the deepest part of the pocket the correct width? It looks much worse in the upper picture. Did you change the feedrate? What changed in those 2 pockets?

Looks to me like some kind of formula is active in X direction. Because it comes back to the same location on the left side.

Not much in common with the pockets if they are all supposed to be the same program. Something is real odd looking, that's for sure.

No, it doesn't. It keeps moving farther to the left with each pass, ans since they're deeper, each successive pass makes a full depth cut.

guess it looked like it did to me, my bad.

Hi,

I changed a bit on the feedrate an thats why it's different on the other picture, but how can i get it so that it cuts right the hole pocket?

Thanks!!

Can someone help me...
Thanks

It looks like your machine is losing steps. This can be caused by many things.

What kind of machine is this?
First thing you should do is go through the entire machine, and make sure everything is perfectly aligned, with no binding. If you still have issues at that point, then reduce your acceleration and velocity setting in motor tuning by 25%-50%.

It is CNC3040

Thanks for the help I will see if i can do something I'm new with this

SF, Sure there are some things you can do.

 Lube all ways, slides ball or lead screws too.

Then as Gerry said, lessen your velocity and or acceleration.

Find out the micro stepping that your controller is on and see if changing its value doesnt lessen the resonance. This will require some retuning so if you are very new, hold off a bit. Not that it is difficult.

Btw is this all of a sudden? Was there a change in its operation? Or are you new to the machine and experienced these problems right away?Just out of curiousity, what kind of speeds/accels were you running?

Either accel or velocity can cause lost steps depending on their values, so it could be the velocity was fine but the instant accel for its mass caused loss of steps or vice versa.
