Thread: Machine Slow on Curves
Threaded View

Hi,
I seem to be having a problem when I cut curves on my machine. Im running it with Linuxcnc. It doesn't have any problems when cutting circles. It is just when there is a curve that is made with multiple circle radius's.
This isn't a mechanical problem but a software/computer speed problem. When it is cutting a curve the machine accelerates and decelerates because the computer cant spew out the information fast enough(im guessing this is the problem).
Has anyone came across this problem before and found any fixes? I've heard that disabling the internet card frees a lot of speed up on the computer. Maybe adding more ram might help?
Any info would be really helpful as in the near future im going to be cutting out some big molds out of foam for fibreglass. The molds are for a fsae car hence are heavily curved, none being a nice simple circle.
Thanks
