Plasma Anti-dive function. Seems not to work
« on: August 29, 2013, 05:51:22 PM »
Hello,

Recently read a post about the Mach3 Anti-dive function. http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/topic,16169.0.html

But it seems not to work just like BR549 said. Even programming it to 100% of the actual feedrate, the machine still move the Z axis up and down during the cut by the THC.

Someone with experiencie with this command?

Added it to my Plasma Screen, seems to be a nice feature to have if it works. Attached the screen for convenience.

Thank you,

It would do that - setting 100% is telling it you are ok at any speed.

Mine is set at 70% i think - if my code commands a feed rate of 4000mm/min but Mach3 computes it needs say 2000mm/min or 50% of my commanded rate for a corner it will stop the THC for that contour and resume it as soon as the machine accelerates to more than 70% again.
