Hello folks,
I have been calculating motor size for a fairly heavy ganrty using Emerson servo sizing program. Quite understandably the size of the motor depends heavily on how quickly it needs to accelerate the mass to full speed. From another discussion group I got a piece of advice to use an acceleration time of 0.1 - 0.2 s to full speed (10m/min). With the acceleration time of 0.1s I get fairly decent motor sizes, appr. 0.37HP or 275W with a suitable rotor inertia to load mass inertia ratio.
My question is: is Mach able to handle this max acceleration, I mean can/will it optimize the routing path so that this max acceleration will never be exceeded? This qustion may be ridicilous but as I'm just starting with DIY CNC I hope you can bear with me.
Thanks,
Risto
