Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: New CNC router released

Fogassa,

Thank you for the compliments. Yes, I thought it was important to mention the actual Feedrates for arcs and circles. I'd want to know..

I think the line segments are actually what slows it down. The PC or something just can't keep up. The G-code window is just a blur. It will machine arcs and splines at much higher rates but they are unpredictable. True Arcs seem to run a bit faster. It is plenty fast for any cutting operation.

How long does it take to go from 0-1200 ipm? Not long :-) The acceleration is set very high. In Mach it shows the actual speed versus the commanded speed. The Bridge travel is 12" It gets to rapid rate in less than half that. The machine has rubber feet on it now, in testing it was sliding the machine around on the table running a G-code. Inertia has to go somewhere. The machine weighs 80 lbs. So that should give a good indication of the acceleration rates/forces.

Of course, the machine can be tuned to much lower speeds for folks that are just learning CNC. By dropping in a different XML/ config with different motor tuning, the machine will be much slower.

Thanks, Ron

Nice machine Ron,
I like the specs on circular moves speeds, We don't see that on others
machine specs, and it's very important information.
Would be nice include speeds for 3d machining using line segments as
it's generate by many 3d cam software.
How long does it takes to get to the 1400 ipm ?(ramp time.)
Otherwise it looks nice.
