Re: [Emc-users] Question about G2/G3 where Z and P are used

Hi Gene, That's correct. The P word controls how many turns, independent of the z height. Rob On Mon, Oct 19, 2015, 10:29 AM Gene Heskett wrote: Greetings all; Can I assume that when a Z# and a P# are used in a G2 or G3 move, that the Z descent per full turn is: Z / P

Re: [Emc-users] 2.7.0, new trajectory planner, lost it's perfect pitch

Tom, have you tried playing with the ARC_BLEND_RAMP_FREQ parameter in your ini file? Increasing it from the default value of 20Hz up to 100Hz or even 1000Hz will make the trajectory planner more aggressive on short segments, at the expense of more acceleration ripple for programs with lots of

Re: [Emc-users] Path blending

Depending on your machine's acceleration, and the feed you requested, that could be correct default behavior. The default blend tolerance is unlimited. Given the speed limitations the TP used to have, it may not have been able to go fast enough to need a big blend like that, so you might not have

I have a good relationship with a salvage man here and would like to see an image of this motor. I may have missed it if posted before.  If I can recognize it I can pull one for my own education. I get treadmill motors with drives as well as other drive train parts from him very reasonably.

in the headstock. The story is that as it warms up the grease creates a lubricating cloud and does its thing. There are no grease zerks on any other way of lubing the spindle once it is assembled. Amazing how it worked year in and year out but it does. Seeya Robert Malterer - Original Message

Morning: I retired from the screw machine world some 15 yrs. ago. The grease we used in the spindles was a Kluber brand sinthetic grease. Very spendy, very good though. The spindles that the grease was used in would go from 0 to 10,000 RPM and back to 0 approx. twice a minute, 24 hrs. per
