But how much does it impact the final dimensions? The results show on the plot if the proper parameter is set. P229 Backplot/Smoothing mode 0 = Faster Backplot, smoothing may be active but is not shown 1 = Slower Backplot, smoothing effects shown. The plot is not going to show how the final dimensi...

Brazing would work really nice too with no distortion and little clean up.

I posted about this before, but the video tells the details of how this bizarre issue works. While it does not appear to effect position because the backward servo moves are confined to the backlash compensation region, it is almost certain that this was not intended to happen. https://youtu.be/UA8I...

Well, you can rotate and 3D the graph view. Hold down the left mouse button and move the mouse to 3d rotate the view. I think holding the right mouse button pans the view. You can also zoom in and out. As for your slow graphing, the speed of CNC12 on Windows 10 is much slower than when I was running...

I have found that when I override the feed rate to greater than 100%, my Centroid cuts like crap and every direction change is banging like all hell. This seems to be a control problem as I can run the same code with a higher feed rate in the program (not overridden) and the machine runs fine. I use...

Thank you very much Marc. Dropping the Kp and Ki did the trick to stop the oscillation. The Ka didn't seem as helpful, and it is set at 8 as of now. When axis hits the home switch now, it does a very short back and forth. I will spend a little more time working on the tuning to hopefully iron that o...

The second pic is where you save the report. Save it to the directory shown on top (cncm) or a thumb drive. An empty thumb drive is better because them you will know it is the current report without trying to figure out which file we need. Attach that file to your post.

. I appreciate your response Eng199. I have narrowed down the problem shown in the video above and I will address that at the bottom of this post.

. PLEASE SEE THIRD POST FOR CURRENT ISSUES ON THIS I replaced the servo on my W axis with a smaller one with a planetary gear box on it. It is a brand new Baldor servo with 1000 line encoder. Old servo worked fine other than it was not strong enough to overcome the stiction of the axis with the avai...
