Hello again
I'm working with a set of KL23H276-30-8B steppers from Keling technology.
The machine moves pretty quickly on rapids and on geometry codes, but when it's run on small, detailed work, it slows to a crawl. I've never operated any other machines, but from what I've read, the last project I ran should take around 15 mins on this machine, but it took over 30. I'm cutting very shallow, so faster isn't a problem.
Presuming I already have the steps/mm set correctly, aside from velocity and acceleration, what other settings should I tweak? I am using CV mode @ 180units. 45* override and CV feedrate @ +1.0000.
I realize there are physical limitations on the motors and such, but if I have simple geometry, say a circle, the machine flies. If I'm working a cut where the toolpath is made up of a bunch of connected points, it's slow city again.
One last example: If I cut a true circle that mach 3 runs a geometry command, that goes fast. If I draw an oval the same size and mach 3 reads it as a bunch of locations to move to, it's slow.
Hope I'm making sense, I'm kind of new to this software.
Is there a way to overcome this?
Thanks!
