On my concrete mill (Thor) I run CS Labs IPA with Panasonic servos. Ive always noticed that on circles and similar I get jerky movement, specifically where there are I and J type G Code involved.
I did a test last night, took the same code, ran it on my Bridgeport, running on Centroid Acorn, same Panasonic setup but in Step / Direction (Position mode) versus Speed move as per Thor. The same code was smooth.
Ive seen a lot of complaints about Mach 3's smoothness.
Is my issue a limitation with Mach 3 (or badly configured), related to not having good PID on the servos or something else?
I might try the new SimCNC software from CS Labs to see if its Mach 3 or not. A newer PC might also help.
Thoughts?Last edited by Chaz; 21-08-2019 at 09:52 AM.
