A axis rotation under the intercon line setup

Post by curiousMike »

In the intercon line setup there is place to fill in the speed for the X, Y and Z movement. There is no similar input for the rotation of A axis. Sine the end point of the rotation must timed with the end point of the x y and z it is logical that there is no independent A Axis speed input. Interion should calculate that speed. If however there is no x, y or z movement called for but a rotation from A axis is called for what controls the rotation speed of the A axis? My own little experiment seem to produce the same very slow rotation regardless of the spend input in intercon or in fact any speed setup in The Wizard. Any insight would be greatly appreciated

You have to calculate and enter a feedrate that includes degrees per minute on the rotary axis.
